Meeting Description:

2023 marks the 30th anniversary of Distributed Morphology and the
pieces of Inflection (HALLE & MARANTZ, 1993) publication, a seminal
paper that argues for the generation of words in the syntactic
component, with the use of the same tools and principles generally
available for sentence building. As is well-known, the paper also
discusses possible post-syntactic adjustments to word derivations and
advocates for late insertion of phonological content. Because of the
influence DM has in the way generativists conceive word formation now,
the event 30 years Distributing Morphology: from North to South aims
at gathering researchers interested in discussing the impact of DM in
the way we think about the generation of words and sentences nowadays,
how this way of thinking is different from previous decades of work
about the structure of words, the next steps for this model, and its
relationship with other approaches that it inspired.

Call for Papers:

Abstracts submitted to this conference must be anonymous. They must be
up to two pages A4 long, with 2.5 cm margins. The text must be
single-spaced and typed with a font size 12. References and examples
must be included within this page limit. One individual can only
submit up to two abstracts, being the sole author in one of them and a
co-author of the other. Please specify whether you would like your
submission to be considered for a poster or an oral presentation.

May 15 – Jun 15: submission of abstracts
July 15 – notification of the submission
August 15 – final program

All abstracts must be submitted via EasyAbs platform.

Submissions open: May 15, 2023 - June 15, 2023

Abstract review period: June 16, 2023 - July 15, 2023

We aim for contributions related (but not limited) to:

(i) The similarities and the differences between word and sentence
formation;
(ii) The conceptual and empirical necessity (or not) for
post-syntactic operations;
(iii) The similarities and differences between DM and other generative
models that form words within the syntactic component, such as the
exoskeletal model (Borer 2003; 2005) nanosyntax (Starke, 2009) and
morphology as syntax (Collins & Kayne, 2023);
(iv) Empirical studies of word and sentence formation that endorse or
challenge DM proposals;
(v) Phenomena that shed some light to current debates within the
theory, such as the nature of roots and phases in word formation.

30 years Distributing Morphology: from North to South will take place
from October 3rd to October 6th, 2023 at University of São Paulo
(USP), in São Paulo, Brazil. Being hosted in Brazil, the discussions
will inevitably highlight the undeniable influence DM has had in the
generative community in South America.

The confirmed conference speakers are Alec Marantz (NYU), Andrés Saab
(UBA), and David Embick (UPenn). There will also be roundtables for
discussion of specific topics. Our confirmed roundtables speakers are
Alessandro Boechat de Medeiros (UFRJ), Ana Paula Scher (USP/UFJF),
Maria Filomena Spatti Sandalo (UNICAMP), Aniela França (UFRJ), Indaiá
Bassani (UNIFESP), and Vitor Nóbrega (USP).

Organizing Committee: Ana Paula Scher (USP), Paula Armelin (UFJF),
Indaiá Bassani (UNIFESP), Janayna Carvalho (UFMG), Maurício Sartori
(UFMG)
