Linguistic Field(s): Morphology 

Call Deadline: 22-Nov-2015 

Meeting Description:

Among the many trends that shape contemporary morphology, paradigm-based approaches is attracting the interest of a growing number of morphologists. 

Over the last decade, the paradigmatic approach is becoming a standard in inflectional morphology ( Stump 2001, Ackermann, Blevins, Maalouf 2009, Bearman, Corbett & Brown 2010, Stump & Finkel 2013, Bonami & Stump to appear,). For some years, following the example given by inflection, the paradigmatic approach is gaining a growing support in the field of Word Formation (WF), essentially derivation. More and more work refers to it, as can be seen by referring to recent handbook articles on the issue (such as Stekauer 2014 or Boyé & Schalchli, to appear). The authors who are interested in the paradigmatic dimension of the derivation, or offering derivational paradigmatic models include (without claiming to be exhaustive) Van Marle 1985, Stump 1991, Bochner 1993 who introduces the notion of 'cumulative patterns' and in his wake Strnadová 2015, Bauer 1997, Booij 1997, Pounder 2000, and Hathout 2011, Roché 2009, 2011, Roché & Plénat 2014 who define an organization of the lexicon base
 d on derivational families and series.

In the wake of the word-based models (specifically in connection with the word and paradigm approach introduced by Blevins 2013), paradigmatic derivation is a response to the generative approach to WF and to the binary and oriented rules advocated in  the generative tradition. 

In other words, in a paradigmatic perspective, the morphological paradigms are interconnected by more or less complex networks of words, reflecting the patterns of the many  relations that each word has with the others. For a given word, these networks cluster into a derivational family. 

There is a good chance that the new way to perceive WF but also the structure of the lexicon, opened up by the notion of paradigm, will strongly boost the development of new models and lines of arguments, be they in descriptive or theoretical WF systems, in typological approaches to morphology, in psycholinguistics, e.g. in language acquisition aspects, in natural language processing or in the framework of statistical modeling.  

This workshop gives us the opportunity to point out the recent advances on paradigms in Word Formation and particularly in derivation.

Workshop Organizers : Nabil Hathout (UMR CLLE-ERSS, Toulouse, France) and Fiammetta Namer (Université de Lorraine, Nancy, France)

Call for Papers:

Without claiming to be exhaustive, issues relevant to the workshop include the following questions:

- What does paradigmatic derivational morphology look like?
- What objects do we need to describe derivational paradigms?
- What are the correspondences between derivational and inflectional paradigms?
- Should we introduce a new approach (i.e. a new ''type'' of morphological model) such as ''family-and-paradigm'' that generalizes the ''word-and-paradigm''?
- How are semantic and formal dimensions connected within derivational paradigms?
- Are semantic and formal paradigms grouped in distinct set within the (derivational) lexicon?
- What questions/issues/problems arise from the shift to paradigmatic word formation?

We invite submissions of abstracts for 20 + 10 min presentations at both email addresses below. Submissions should also include contact details (name, affiliation, and email address). For the first phase, please submit an abstract of max. 300 words (excluding references) to be evaluated for consideration in our workshop proposal. If the workshop is accepted, we will require a full abstract submission (deadline 15 January 2016), which will undergo the general SLE reviewing process.

Submission addresses: nabil.hathout at univ-tlse2.fr fiammetta.namer at univ-lorraine.fr 

Important dates:

- preliminary submission of a title and short abstract (300 words max.) from potential participants, to the workshop conveners (22 November 2015)
- submission of the workshop to the SLE organizers (25 November 2015)  
- If the workshop proposal is accepted (notification the 15  December 2015), the authors of the preliminary abstracts are invited to  submit longer versions (deadline the 15 January 2016), which will be  reviewed by the SLE scientific committee. 
- 31 August-3 September 2016: 49th Meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europaea
