Meeting URL: https://sites.google.com/view/morphologytheories-diminutives/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Morphology 

Meeting Description: 

The workshop is planned as the first of a series of workshops that challenge
morphological theory with data from diminutivization and address three basic
issues of diminutive morphology: A. Demarcation, B. Status in grammar, and C.
Theoretical description.

Diminutive(-related) meanings and forms have received much attention in the
literature (overview in Grandi & Körtvelyessy 2015) and some authors have
claimed that we cannot account for peculiarities of diminutives with the
regular mechanisms of grammar but need an additional component: evaluative
morphology (Scalise 1986), morphopragmatics (Dressler & Merlini-Barnaresi
1994). Do we? Or is everything a matter of method (Jurafsky 1996)?
