papers – Workshop: Morphological Typology and Linguistic Cognition</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">*deadline
extension to February 1*</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">This is the second
call for papers for an NSF-funded workshop, Morphological Typology and
Linguistic Cognition, to be held during the LSA’s 2017 Linguistic Summer
Institute at the University of Kentucky (July 22-23, 2017).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">In recent
years there has been increasing attention to the ways in which morphological
structure is closely tied to the </span><span style="color:black">cognitive processing of word structure and
lexical representation. This workshop is designed to explore the hypothesis
that morphological structures interact dynamically with lexical processing and
storage, with the parameters of morphological typology being partly dependent
on the cognitive pathways for processing, storage, and generalization of word
structure, and vice versa. </span><span style="color:rgb(64,64,64);background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%">We are interested in the nature of this
interaction, and seek to determine how far it will take us towards explaining
system-level principles of morphological organization and their
cross-linguistic distribution.</span><span style="color:black"> Core questions:</span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(64,64,64);margin-bottom:6pt;background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;vertical-align:baseline"><span>What are the cognitive pathways that lead to
cross-linguistic morphological tendencies, and how do they create
persistent biases over time towards certain language structures and not
others?</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(64,64,64);margin-bottom:6pt;background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;vertical-align:baseline"><span>How do system-level principles of morphological
organization emerge from interactions between the cognitive processing of
language, the representational structure of the lexicon, patterns of
language use, social factors, universal principles of grammar, and other
factors?</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(64,64,64);margin-bottom:6pt;background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;vertical-align:baseline"><span>Are there cross-linguistic differences in the
existence of uniquely morphological principles of organization and/or the
modularity of language architecture?</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(64,64,64);margin-bottom:6pt;background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;vertical-align:baseline"><span>What is the role of language-specific
distributional properties in influencing the perception and processing of
speech with respect to morphological structure?</span></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We invite submissions that address these issues from a
variety of perspectives and methods, including but not limited to experimentation,
typological description, and computational modeling. More information is
available at the workshop website: </span><a href="https://u.osu.edu/mtlc2017/"><span style="color:black;text-decoration:none">https://u.osu.edu/mtlc2017/</span></a><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The workshop will consist of talks by invited speakers
and others, a poster session, and discussion/commentary sessions. We plan to
publish an edited volume based on select presentations. </span></p>
