There are two fundamentally distinct ways in which this can occur. Speakers of a recipient language can borrow from a source language either morphological material, that is, actual morphemes, or morphological techniques, that is, structural patterns but no forms. These fundamental types, exemplified in (1) vs. (2), are frequently referred to as ‘matter borrowing’ as opposed to ‘pattern borrowing’ (Sakel 2007; Matras & Sakel 2007). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>(1) matter-borrowing<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> Turkish Persian<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> a. <i>yengeç‑vari</i> b. <i>pishrow-var</i><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> ‘crab-like’ ‘leader-like’<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>(2) pattern-borrowing<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> Basque Spanish<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US> </span></i><span lang=EN-US>a.<i> aztertu </i> b. <i>examinar</i> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> ‘examine’ <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> <i>berr-aztertu</i> <i>re-examinar</i><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> ‘re-examine’<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>In Turkish, the adjectivizer <i>‑vari</i>, borrowed from Persian (1b), can occur on Turkish native bases, such as <i>yengeç</i> ‘crab’ (1a) (Gardani forthc.). In Basque (2a), the native morpheme <i>bir‑</i> (or its allomorph <i>berr‑</i>), meaning ‘repetition’ or ‘emphasis’, replicates a Romance pattern to form deverbal verbs through the prefix <i>re‑</i> (2b) (Jendraschek 2006: 158–159).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:1.0cm'><span lang=EN-US>These two phenomena, however, are not necessarily mutually exclusive. A third type of contact-induced morphological change is attested, in which matter borrowing and pattern borrowing are combined (Gardani forthc.). Modern Persian is a case in point. Here, some nouns with native Indo-European etyma, realize their plural forms just as Arabic, the long-standing contact language, does. For example, <i>farmān</i> ‘order’ (3a) (< Old Persian <i>fra‑</i> ‘forward’ + <i>mā‑</i> ‘measure’) yields a plural <i>farāmīn</i>, not only replicating a Semitic non-concatenative morphological technique, CVCV:CV:C, but also resorting to the same set of vowels, CaCa:Ci:C, which occurs, e.g., in Arabic <i>ṣanādīq</i> ‘boxes’ (3b) (data from Jensen 1931: 45; see also Mumm 2007: 41)</span><span lang=EN-GB>. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>(3) Modern Persian<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> a. <i>farmān</i> ‘order’ b. <i>ṣandūq</i> ‘box’<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> <i>farāmīn</i> ‘orders’ <i>ṣanādīq</i> ‘boxes’<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:1.0cm'><span lang=EN-US>In all of these cases, the morphological design of a recipient language has become closer to that of its source language in terms of either form identity or similarity (i.e., matter-borrowing), or structural re‑arrangement and convergence (i.e., pattern-borrowing), or a combination of both. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:1.0cm'><span lang=EN-US>As is generally acknowledged, morphology is relatively resistant to borrowing (Gardani et al. 2015a). This fact makes the study of morphological borrowing a valuable heuristic tool in investigations of the genealogical relatedness of languages or language groups (good examples are Law 2013, 2014; Robbeets 2015). While, however, the topic of morphological matter borrowing has recently received slightly more attention in contact linguistics (Gardani 2008, 2012; Gardani et al. 2015b; Seifart 2013, 2015), the phenomenon of morphological pattern borrowing and in particular, its cross-linguistic diffusion and areal dimensions, are still largely understudied. The workshop<i> matter borrowing vs pattern borrowing in morphology</i> endeavors to fill this gap and aims to provide a cross-linguistic survey of matter borrowing and pattern borrowing, in order to seize their global extension and incidence in the evolution of morphology. We are especially interested in the following questions (but potential contributors should not feel restricted by them):<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:1.0cm'><span lang=EN-US>1. Which areas of morphology are more frequently affected by which type of borrowing?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:1.0cm'><span lang=EN-US>2. What are the conditions that promote or inhibit the spread of which type of morphological borrowing?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:1.0cm'><span lang=EN-US>3. Are the processes that underlie pattern borrowing the same that underlie contact-induced grammaticalization (Heine & Kuteva 2003)?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:1.0cm'><span lang=EN-US>4. To what extent are abstract paradigmatic structures, such as morphomes (Maiden 2005), borrowed?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:1.0cm'><span lang=EN-US>5.
