Subject: Analyzing Morphological Systems

 
Analyzing Morphological Systems 
Short Title: AnaMorphoSys 

Date: 20-Jun-2016 - 22-Jun-2016 
Location: Lyon, France 
Contact: Géraldine Walther 
Contact Email: anamorphosys.conference at gmail.com 
Meeting URL: http://anamorphosys.xyz 

Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics; Morphology; Typology 

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)
