Meeting Description:

Expanding the lexicon - Linguistic Innovation, Morphological Productivity, and
the Role of Discourse-Related Factors

Traditionally, the creation of new lexical units and patterns – understood in
a wide sense as not being necessarily limited to the word level – has been
studied in different research frameworks. Whereas approaches focusing on
morphological productivity are directed at system-internal ('grammatical')
morphological processes, other approaches have aimed at identifying general
types of lexical innovation and describing them in the larger context of
lexical change, thus integrating system-external factors related to the
historical background of the innovations and their diffusion.
The workshop is intended to bring together these different research traditions
in order to discuss fundamental aspects of dynamic processes in the lexicon,
and to bring new evidence to bear on the traditional dividing line between
approaches oriented towards system-internal and system-external aspects.

Invited Speakers / Conférenciers invités:

Wiltrud Mihatsch (Tübingen)
Damaris Nübling (Mainz)
Ingo Plag (Düsseldorf)

Extensions du lexique – innovation linguistique, productivité morphologique et
le rôle de facteurs liés au discours

La creation de nouvelles unités lexicales et de nouveaux patrons lexicaux –
compris dans un sense large ne se restreignant pas au niveau des mots isolés –
a été étudiée dans différents courants de la recherche linguistique
traditionnelle. Tandis que les approches qui s’intéressent à la productivité
morphologique analysent des procédés morphologiques internes au système de la
langue (procédés “grammaticaux”), d’autres approches ont visé à identifier des
types généraux d’innovations lexicales et à les décrire dans le cadre plus
large du changement lexical, en prenant en considération aussi des facteurs
externes au système linguistique et liés au contexte historique des
innovations et de leur diffusion.
L’atelier que nous proposons vise à réunir ces différentes traditions de
recherche afin de discuter certains aspects fondamentaux des processus
dynamiques dans le lexique, et de rassembler de nouvelles perspectives qui
mettent en question la ligne de démarcation traditionnelle entre les approches
orientées vers des aspects internes vs. externes au système linguistique. 


Erweiterungen des Lexikons – sprachliche Innovation, morphologische
Produktivität und die Rolle diskursbezogener Faktoren

Die Schaffung neuer lexikalischer Muster und Einheiten in einem weiten Sinn,
d.h. nicht auf die Wortebene begrenzt, ist in unterschiedlichen
Forschungskontexten thematisiert worden. Es gibt einerseits Herangehensweisen,
die systeminterne (grammatikalische) morphologische Prozesse fokussieren, und
andererseits solche, die lexikalische Innovationen im Kontext des
Sprachwandels betrachten und damit systemexterne Faktoren einschließlich des
historischen Hintergrundes und Fragen der Verbreitung der Innovationen
einbeziehen. 
Der geplante Workshop möchte diese Forschungslinien zusammenführen, um
grundlegende Aspekte dynamischer Prozesse im Lexikon in den Blick zu nehmen
und die traditionelle Trennlinie zwischen systeminternen und systemexternen
Prozessen zu überwinden.


Call for Papers:

We invite papers on ongoing changes in the lexicon as well as on historical
processes of change, and we also invite submissions reflecting upon
methodological aspects. Promising areas of discussion are, among others:

- How and under which circumstances do new lexical units and patterns emerge? 
- What is the role of contextual factors, conditions of usage and discourse
traditions in the creation of new lexical units and patterns?
- What counts as an 'innovation'? What is the status of innovations?
- How can lexical innovations and productive patterns be identified?
- What are the (structural, semantic, phonetic...) properties of innovations
in language use?
- How are the innovations described metalinguistically (e.g. in lexicographic
and grammaticographical sources)?
- How do lexical innovations and new morphological patterns diffuse?

We invite abstracts for paper presentations (25 min + 20 min discussion).
Languages of presentation will be English, French or German, but the papers
may also deal with other languages.
If you would like to participate in the workshop, please send an abstract of
250 to 300 words to winterfroemel at uni-trier.de and brauna at uni-trier.de by 10
July 2016.
We plan to offer publication to selected papers in a dedicated volume within
the book series ‘The Dynamics of Wordplay’ (De Gruyter). The language of
publication will be English.

Child care can be organized onsite for workshop participants. Please get in
touch with us beforehand if you would like to find out more about this
service.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
