Arthur Schopenhauer once said: “Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal.”

We all know how vital it is for a language to „change“ and to be able to adapt to changes, but how do we actually refer to and express the fact that something is changing?

The linguistic session „Zustandsveränderung/Change of state“ at the XXXIII. Deutscher Romanistentag (22.-25.09.2013, Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg) is tackling the challenge of analyzing how different change of state scenarios are encoded linguistically.  For information concerning the session „Zustandsveränderung“ please visit the following link: SESSION „Change of State“
