Meeting Description:

Following the success of the NFMW held in Melbourne in 2016, we are pleased to
announce the 2018 New Fields for Morphology Workshop to be held on the 2 and 3
of November 2018 at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom. 

The main purpose of the workshop is to engage morphological theory with
exciting new empirical data. We hope to foster a community of morphologists
concerned with both empirical and theoretical issues. Contributions are
ideally based on first-hand data of individual languages or adopt a broadly
comparative perspective. All theoretical frameworks are equally welcome
including papers which do not fit in with any particular framework. Papers
that adopt a diachronic or comparative perspective are also welcomed to the
extent they engage theoretical concerns.

Invited Speaker: Alice Harris
Location: University of Surrey, Guildford, UK
Dates: 2-3 of November 2018
Website: nfmw.github.io

Themed session: Complexities of exponence:

The workshop will include a dedicated session on the theme of 'Complexities of
Exponence.' 

Exponence refers to mapping between morphosyntactic and morphosemantic
contexts and the internal structure of morphologically complex words.
Typically, morphosyntactic and morphosemantic contexts are represented as
feature values and in the simplest possible of worlds, each feature value maps
uniquely onto a single unique form. However, morphologists are aware are that
this mapping is rarely simple in reality. The workshop seeks papers which
explore complexity in this relationship from any theoretical or typological
perspective. 


Call for Papers:

The New Fields for Morphology Workshop in conjunction with the South East
Morphology Meeting Workshop on Complexities of Exponence.

The New Fields for Morphology Workshop seeks papers on any topic in
morphological theory or typology based on new empirical data. In addition to
the open call, we also request papers for the theme session on 'Complexities
of Exponence'.

The main purpose of the workshop is to engage morphological theory with
exciting new empirical data. We hope to foster a community of morphologists
concerned with both empirical and theoretical issues. Contributions are
ideally based on first-hand data of individual languages or adopt a broadly
comparative perspective. All theoretical frameworks are equally welcome
including papers which do not fit in with any particular framework. Papers
that adopt a diachronic or comparative perspective are also welcomed to the
extent they engage theoretical concerns.

Authors may submit one solo-authored abstract and one joint abstract.
Submissions may be to either the general session or the themed session as long
as in total only one solo-authored abstract per author is submitted. 

Talks will be either 20 or 30 minutes depending on the number of abstracts
accepted. Please limit abstracts to a single A4 page including references and
figures. Abstracts should be anonymous and marked as either for the general or
theme submission. Please submit in .pdf format via easychair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nfmw2018) by the submission deadline
of Sunday 1 July. 

Dates:

Abstract Submission: 1 July
Notification of acceptance: 1 August    
Workshop: 2-3 November

Best regards,
