Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Phonology; Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

Besides the recursive and typically asymmetric concatenation of lexical material, replication (i.e., copying doubling, repetition and structure sharing) constitutes the second major mechanism of structure building in natural language. Replicative processes are pervasive in all areas of grammar ranging from phonological segment splitting and harmony over reduplication and affix doubling to syntactic copying, but also abstract replication of function as in coalescence and elliptic constructions where a single grammatical entity serves double duty.

Whereas replicative processes have played a central role in the major theoretical developments of the last decades – cf. the importance of the operation Agree in Minimalist syntax (Chomsky 2000, 2001) and of reduplication for optimality-theoretic Correspondence Theory (McCarthy & Prince 1994, 1995) – many types of replication are still poorly understood. Thus it is still largely unclear whether affix copying processes (Inkelas and Zoll 2005, Bickel et al. 2007, Zimmermann 2012) are motivated morphologically or phonologically and how they relate to another huge but underresearched area of replication, extended exponence (Anderson 2002, Müller 2007, Caballero & Harris 2012), we are still far from a general theory of verb copying constructions (Kandybowicz 2008, 2013), and the development of the Agreement-by-Correspondence approach to phonological harmony processes (Hansson 2001, Rose & Walker 2004, Bennett 2015) has raised as least as many new questions as it solves.
