Journal call for papers: Morphology

[Gregor Perko]

Call for papers

The journal Linguistica, published by the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), will devote its 51th issue (2011) to internal and external boundaries of morphology.

 

Guest editor: Gregor Perko, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana



Over the past decades, morphology is witnessing some fundamental changes. One of the issues frequently addressed by several linguists concerns "peripheral", "marginal" or "irregular" phenomena that do not belong to the "core" of morphology. See, among others, Zwicky and Pullum (1987), Thornton and Doleschal (eds) (2000), Dressler et al. (eds) (2005), Fradin, Plénat and Montermini (2009).

Some of the topics proposed are:

- the relation(s) between the central, prototypical or grammatical morphology, and marginal, expressive or extragrammatical morphology;

- issues related to typologies of morphological processes;

- morphology from the perspective of dichotomies: langue/parole, competence/performance;

- boundary between morphology and syntax;

- boundary between inflectional and derivational morphology;

- morphology and the boundaries between lexis and grammar;

- boundaries between morphology and phraseology/idioms;

- morphological productivity vs. morphological creativity;

- morphology and lexicalization.

This list is not exhaustive and all papers aimed at investigating internal and external boundaries of morphology are welcome.


Authors wishing to participate are invited to submit the title and the abstract (100 - 200 words) of their article as an email attachment (Word or PDF) at linguistica at ff.uni-lj.si by 31th March 2011.
