Meeting Description:

SinFonIJA (Syntax, Phonology and Language Analysis) is a traveling
conference that covers topics from all areas of theoretical
linguistics, comparative linguistics, psycholinguistics,
neurolinguistics, and language acquisition. It was first organised in
Nova Gorica in 2008 and has been been organised in Brno, Udine, Novi
Sad, Budapest, Kraków, Dubrovnik, Ljubljana, Graz, Niš, Vienna and
Sarajevo, i.e. the many cities within the area of the former
Austro-Hungarian empire and/or Yugoslavia, over the past 16 years.
This year SinFonIJA is returning to Nova Gorica where it will be
organised by the Center for Cognitive Science of Language of the
University of Nova Gorica. SinFonIJA 17 will also host a special
workshop on Multifunctionality in Morphology.

INVITED SPEAKERS (confirmed)
Jonathan Bobaljik (Harvard University)
Predrag Kovačević (University of Novi Sad)
Luisa Martí (Queen Mary University of London)
Radek Šimík (Charles University Prague)

2nd Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts from all areas of theoretical linguistics,
comparative linguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and
language acquisition for the main session. This year, SinFonIJA will
feature a special workshop on Multifunctionality in Morphology (see
below); so please indicate if your submission is intended for the main
session or for the workshop.

Abstracts will be considered for a 20min talk (plus 10mins
discussion), or a poster presentation. Please indicate the preferred
presentation type in the course of the submission. SinFonIJA 17 is
planned as an in-person event.

MULTIFUNCTIONALITY IN MORPHOLOGY WORKSHOP

This workshop (as part of SinFonIJA 17) seeks to offer an opportunity
to discuss multifunctional (sometimes also called polyfunctional or
multipurpose) affixes, i.e. affixes that can appear in different,
seemingly unrelated contexts and that have little meaning of their
own. In general, these affixes to fall into one of the three
categories: those affixes that appear to have more than one function
within a category, those that can be used in different categories, and
those that can be used both in derivation and inflection. However, it
is as yet unknown whether there is a clear distinction between a
single multifunctional affix (including at least some instances of
apparent multifunctionality) and two or more affixes that are
accidentally homonymous.

While there has has been an increasing interest in these elements in
recent years (see, for example, De Belder 2011, Lowenstamm 2014,
Creemers et al. 2018, Gouskova & Bobaljik 2022, Salvadori & Huyghe
2023, and the works of the Multifunctionality in Morphology project
that is also the initiator of this workshop), there are still many
open questions. This workshop aims to address questions such as
-) Which affixes are multifunctional affixes and what are their
properties?
-) What type of elements are multifunctional affixes (e.g.
categorizing derivational affixes, roots, spell-out of several
functional features)?
-) Can we tease apart and compare the success of the competing
proposals that have emerged for multipurpose affixes within different
approaches to morphology?
-) What phonological form do multifunctional affixes tend to have?

We invite the submission of abstracts dealing with (but not limited
to) these topics.
