Second Call for Papers

8th Mediterranean Morphology Meeting

Submission deadline: 28 February 2011
Notification of acceptance: 31 March 2011 
Circulation of programme: 15 April 2011

The conference will be open for papers on all topics in the field of Morphology. However, one day will be devoted to a specific topic:

'Morphology and the architecture of grammar'

Morphology deals with the correlation between the form and the meaning of words. Hence, it plays a central role in theories on the architecture of grammars of natural languages, as it specifies the relationship between form and meaning of expressions in a particular language. Some basic questions are:

-What are proper criteria for the demarcation of morphological versus syntactic objects?
-Where, in grammar, are morphological objects to be accounted for?
-To what extent is the construction of words subject to different principles and constraints than those of the construction of phrases? 
-In which ways do morphology, phonology and syntax interact?
-Should inflection and word formation be dealt with in different parts of grammar, or are they impossible to separate?
-What do morphological phenomena tell us about the nature of linguistic generalizations (rules, schemas, constructions, etc.), and their place in the description of the competence of language users? 

[http://www.diplist.it/mmm8/topic.php?phpsessid=ffa1bf9064e214ca353417bc9f33052e]
