Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Linguistic Theories; Morphology 

Meeting Description: 

This workshop scrutinizes and compares theoretical assumptions in morphology.
Diminutivization serves as a testing ground. The goal is to provide a platform
for fruitful discussion among scholars working within different theoretical
frameworks as well as computational and experimental morphologists.

In the call for papers, we compare the major assumptions of Distributed
Morphology, Paradigm Function Morphology and Natural Morphology but
contributions within any theory or a mix of theories are welcome.
 

First Call for Papers: 
 
The text of the call is available at:

uthuser=0.

We invite papers that, based on diminutives, discuss the (dis)advantages of a
single theoretical framework or different theories comparatively. Papers that
profit from a mix of theories are also welcome. Possible topics include, but
are not limited to:
 - Diminutivization of major word classes 
 - Diminutivization and non-major word classes 
 - Diminutivization and the derivation-inflection divide
 - Gender, animacy, countability and diminutivization of nouns 
 - Aspect, pluractionality and diminutivization of verbs  
 - Diminutives versus hypocoristics
 - Diminutivization of diminutives 
 - Acquisition of diminutive morphology 
 - Diachrony of diminutive morphology 
 - Diminutive morphology in language contact
 - Sociolinguistic variation of diminutive morphology
 - Experimental and computational evidence versus theoretical assumptions 

Important dates:
Deadline for abstract registration: 27 July 2020 (this is for organizational
purposes, required are the title of the abstract and a few keywords)
Deadline for abstract submission: 15 September 2020
Acceptance notifications: 1 October 2020
Workshop: 4-6 December 2020 

Abstracts should be registered and submitted via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dmtd2020. 
Abstract format: anonymous PDF, max. 500 words (examples and references do not
