Meeting Description: 

The purpose of this workshop is to critically examine the notion of
‘(un)productivity’, a fundamental concept in linguistic study. It will do so
from the perspective of previously under-studied, peripheral structures across
typologically different languages and with a particular focus on form, meaning
and use. By bringing together scholars working within different frameworks and
on different languages (Amharic, Chinese, English, Indic, Iwaidjan, Nubri,
Pintupi-Luritja, Spanish, and Syriac), the workshop aims to expand the scope
of linguistic inquiry and advance theoretical insights into what counts as
good evidence, a key methodological question in fundamental and empirical
linguistic investigation.
