<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif"><span lang="EN-US">The term “micromorphology” was coined by Stump
2017b for the hypothesis that an affix can itself be morphologically complex.
Variations of this hypothesis and its uses have been investigated by Bochner
1993, Soukka 2000, Luís and Spencer 2005, and Stump 2017a, b, 2023, among
others. The relevant phenomenon is illustrated for derivational suffixes in
(1), see Stump 2017b for the demonstration that (1) involves a complex suffix
rather than iterative addition</span><span lang="RU">. </span></p>

complex affix formation in inflection, i.e., on the situation where more than
one affix is needed to create a particular form inside a paradigm and the
properties of the derived form are such that a micromorphological account seems
preferable.</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US">Cases of this type have not so far
attracted sufficient attention where it comes to inflection, and our workshop
aims to fill this gap.</span></p>
