Meeting Description:

Morphological productivity is still a major conundrum in linguistic theory.
Disagreement starts right at the base: Should productivity be considered the
norm, so we need to explain the restrictions that we find? Or is productivity
itself the phenomenon that needs explaining? With the growing popularity of
usage-based approaches to language, the focus of linguistic thinking is
shifting from the former question to the latter. In addition, new tools and
methods for empirical research are becoming available. In the light of both
developments, this workshop seeks to compile new evidence on productivity in
word formation.

We invite contributions that shed light on the conditions under which we see
greater or lesser productive use of derivational morphology. In particular, we
are interested in factors related to the speaker and the situation of
speaking, such as:

- Register and sociolinguistic setting: Are certain communicative situations
or registers more conducive to productive use of word-formation (cf. e.g. Plag
et al. 1999)?
- Age: To what extent is the morphology in child language conservative or
innovative?
- Literacy: Does higher literacy boost awareness and hence productive use of
derivational patterns?
- The individual: To what degree do we see individual differences in the
active use of a word formation pattern (cf. e.g. de Smet 2020)? 

The workshop aims at synthesizing the factors that influence productivity.
Ultimately, we are interested in finding out how often, when and by whom words
are actually formed productively, as opposed to heard, stored and reproduced.
How productive is YOUR derivational morphology?
