8th International Workshop on Nominalizations 
Short Title: JENom 

Date: 21-Jun-2019 - 22-Jun-2019 
Location: Stuttgart, Germany 
Contact: Gianina Iordăchioaia

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics; Morphology; Philosophy of Language; Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

The JENom workshop series was initiated in France, which explains the French
acronym JENom from Journées d'Études sur les NOMinalisations. The first seven
editions were held in Nancy, Lille, Paris, Stuttgart, Barcelona, Verona, and
Fribourg. The fourth edition of the workshop was the first to be organized
outside France and it took place at the University of Stuttgart, which will
also host the coming eighth edition on June 21-22, 2019.

The study of nominalizations has represented one of the main topics in modern
linguistic research starting at least as early as in Lees (1960), Vendler
(1968) and Lakoff (1970). Especially after Chomsky (1970), nominalizations
have formed the grounds for the split between lexicalist and syntactic
approaches to morphology with many implications for the ongoing debate about
the organization of a theory of language and the place morphology and the
'lexicon' occupy in it. Besides generative linguistics in the Chomskyan
tradition, the special categorial status of nominalizations has also figured
prominently in lexicalist (e.g., Malouf 2000, Tribout 2010, Bloch-Trojnar
2013) and functionalist (Koptjevskaja-Tamm 1993, Liesbet Heyvaert 2003)
theories of language. In the generative literature, Grimshaw's (1990) seminal
work laid the theoretical foundations for much of the study of nominalizations
over the past few decades (see Marantz 1997, Alexiadou 2001, Harley & Noyer
2000, van Hout & Roeper 1998 and much of the subsequent literature). 

Yet, issues such as argument structure realization, polysemy, reference,
categorization and the status of nominalizers, mixed categorial properties,
functional structure at the interfaces between phonology, morphology, syntax
and (lexical) semantics and many others have remained as actual as ever and
incite for further discussion as proven also by two quite recent monograph
studies in Borer (2013) and Lieber (2016) and edited collections such as
Iordăchioaia, Roy & Takamine (2013) and Paul (2014).

Special Theme on Zero Derivation (Conversion)

To allow for a broader discussion on categorial shift in morphology and its
interfaces, this year's edition of JENom proposes a special theme on
zero-derived nominals and zero derivation (or conversion), which will be
integrated with the general theme of nominalizations.

Zero derivation is a type of categorial shift whereby the semantic change
undergone by the input is not formally reflected in the output, thus
challenging the one-to-one form-meaning mapping in morphological processes
and, implicitly, their modeling. Such mismatches are known to have led to a
split in morphological theory between approaches that are strictly faithful to
the form-meaning isomorphism and others that model the morphosyntax and
lexical semantics independently of morphophonology (see Don 1993 for an
overview). One important difference between the two approaches is whether they
employ zero derivational suffixes or not (cf. the debate in syntax-based
models of morphology such as Distributed Morphology and the Exo-Skeletal Model
as described in Borer 2013: 322-363). A further challenge raised by zero
derivation is the difficulty to assess it across languages given essential
differences in terms of categorial classes, productivity, and formal marking,
as Valera (2005) notes. 

Studies on nominalizations as well as topics concerning zero derivation are
welcome to this eighth edition of the JENom workshop. We particularly
encourage data-oriented contributions from computational, experimental and
diachronic studies on various languages, besides theoretical approaches.
