Meeting Description: 

The Workshop on Morphology and Interpretation is the concluding event of the project 'Cross-Linguistic Reflections of Cognitive Distinctions', financed by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and FAPESP - the Research Support Foundation of the State of São Paulo. It will be held at the University of São Paulo, Brazil on July 28-29, 2014. 

The workshop is thought of as a forum for discussing research in morphology, syntax, semantics and their interfaces, aiming to delineate specific areas where linguistic properties reflect human cognition and general natural language properties. 
 
The workshop will consist of a main session involving invited speakers and a poster session open to contributors.
