AFFIXES

The Affixes symposium will be held in a hybrid format on August 17-18,
2023 at the University of Turku, Finland. It is organized by the
Linguistic Association of Finland together with the Department of
Finnish and Finno-Ugric Languages (University of Turku). The aim of
the symposium is to bring together researchers from different
traditions, working with topics related to affixes.

Affixes are a part of grammar that has intrigued scholars since the
beginning of grammatical descriptions. Studies of affixes range from
morphological and morphophonological considerations to syntactic and
semantic examinations.
The multitude of research on affixes has increased our understanding
of their nature; for example, the concepts of grammaticalization and
degrammaticalization have brought into light several pathways of the
historical development of affixes, to name just one major field of
study around affixes in the recent decades. On the other hand, there
are still questions to be answered in their study. How, for example,
should we understand the concept of zero affixes? How should we define
the position of bound lexical morphemes (or bound roots) as opposed to
affixes? What are the constraints of affix ordering/reordering or are
there such constraints? Can affixes be borrowed directly (i.e. as
such) or only indirectly (i.e. as parts of lexemes)? In what ways can
the semantics of affixes change?

Invited Speakers:

- Muriel Norde (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)
- Mark Van de Velde (Llacan, CNRS)
