The International Argument Alternation Workshop (IAAW) will be held in person at Kobe University in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, on July 16 and July 17, 2025.
The workshop aims to serve as a platform encouraging cross-theoretical discussions on argument alternations, bringing together researchers with different backgrounds. We invite papers that discuss new data or new generalizations of argument alternations—they can be argument alternation patterns from understudied languages or microvariations of already well-studied alternations (verb A alternates but verb B does not, yet both verbs belong to the same category), or papers that highlight some fresh data on well- or less-known argument alternations and discuss them in light of a newly developed component of the theory or under a new perspective.
We welcome papers dealing with any types/aspects of argument alternations (e.g., swarm alternation, passive, possessor raising, noun incorporation, differential subject/object marking). We are particularly interested in research on less-known types (e.g., Kishimoto 2024).
