Meeting Description: 

As it is widely known, the interest in linguistics has increased in the last
thirty years, in a changing field, with new approaches coming into stage and
providing researchers with resources which make it possible to get more
accurate analyses about grammatical information of words and how they relate
to others.
 
As the main Spanish grammars (Piera and Varela, 1999; NGRAE, 2009) remark,
from the end of the nineties there have been a lot of authors that, in an
empirical approach, have brought the relationship morphology-syntax to light
in such different aspects as: a) the distinction amongst word classes or
grammar categories, processes in which both formal and functional criteria
take part; b) the relationship between inflected forms and syntactic processes
of government and agreement; c) the inner syntax of complex forms (or
structure of the morphemes of a word) and their external syntax (or the
syntactic projection of the word according to its morphological features).
 
In contrast, from a theoretical approach, the interface between morphology and
syntax has focused on whether there is a real division between these two
components of grammar. This question leads research towards the study of the
nature of morphological knowledge and how it is organised. Answers have lead
to two different standpoints: the lexicist framework, which sees morphology as
an autonomous component, and the neoconstruccionist one, which holds that
morphologhy is, actually, syntax (Fábregas, 2013: 31).
 
Within this framework of scientific discussion and progress of linguistic
studies, the purpose of this workshop is to delve into the investigation of
the properties of words, with particular attention to the relationship between
morphology and syntax. We aim at getting more detailed explanations for a wide
range of phenomena (deadjectival complex nouns, complex verbs, verbal phrases,
locative prefixes, prepositions, thematic vowels, verbal inflection, etc.),
always bearing in mind the different possibilities that each theoretical
approach provides.
