Call Deadline: 15-Feb-2016 

Meeting Description:

Because contemporary approaches to morphological analysis attend to different
dimensions of a language’s morphological system, there are often stark
differences in the work to which these approaches give rise. Contemporary
morphologists often ask different kinds of questions about the morphological
systems that they investigate, making very different assumptions

- about a morphological system’s internal architecture and external interfaces
- about the kinds of units and relations in terms of which a language’s
morphology is defined
- about the kinds of data necessary for analyzing a language’s morphology and
the logical paths from this data to the resulting analysis
- about the relation between diachronic pressures and synchronic patterns
- about cognitive constraints on morphology and their manifestation in a
morphological system’s organization
- about the dimensions of typological variation in morphology and about the
forces that engender this diversity.

The goal of the AnaMorphoSys Workshop is to identify and discuss the
contrasting principles of morphological analysis that underlie contemporary
work on morphology.

Invited Speakers:

The workshop will feature three keynote presentations on principles underlying
differing approaches to morphological analysis. Each of these presentations
will initiate a discussion between the invited keynote speaker, two assigned
commentators and the conference audience.

- James P. Blevins (Cambridge) / Commentators: Mark Aronoff (Stony Brook),
Martin Maiden (Oxford)
- Alice Harris (Massachusetts) / Commentators: Enrique Palancar (CNRS,
Surrey), Gregory Stump (Kentucky)

Géraldine Walther (DDL, CNRS)

2nd Call for Papers:

The goal of the AnaMorphoSys Workshop is to identify and discuss the
contrasting principles of morphological analysis that underlie contemporary
work on morphology.

Submissions:

We invite the submission of papers that identify and evaluate principles and
methods for the analysis of morphological systems. Papers may present general
theoretical discussions or may analyze specific bodies of data; papers of
either sort should include a clear delineation of the general principles and
methods that inform them. To propose a paper for presentation, upload an
abstract conforming to the guidelines below to the EasyChair site:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=anamorphosys1.

Abstract Guidelines:

In order to be eligible for consideration, abstracts should conform to the
following requirements.
- either 81⁄2 × 11” or A4 page size
- pdf format
- 12-point Unicode font
- 1” or 2.5 cm margins on all sides
- a maximum of two single-spaced pages of prose text (Numbered examples,
tables, figures and references may be included on one or more additional
pages.)
- in English
- fully anonymous

Abstracts should be very explicit about their specific research questions and
the suitability of the methods employed to address them. By default, abstracts
will be reviewed as proposals for oral presentations. Authors who prefer to do
a poster presentation should state that preference in their abstract. In
addition, authors who wish to do an oral presentation should state whether
they would be willing to do a poster presentation as an alternative (if this
is necessitated by a surfeit of accepted papers). No author may submit more
than three abstracts, and at most one of an author’s abstracts may be for a
single-author paper.
