LFG Morphology Workshop - program

[Andrew Spencer]

Here is the structure of the Workshop on the place of morphology in LFG. We
encourage you to think about the questions at the bottom of the program in
advance!



Morphology Workshop Outline
Contributors: Farrell Ackerman, Kersti Borjars, Anette Frank, Chris
Manning, John Payne, Louisa Sadler, Andrew Spencer.


Session One

1.1 Morphology: Andrew Spencer
The Case for Separationism: WP ('top-down') vs morphemic ('bottom-up')
approaches to morphology

1.2. LFG and Morphosyntax: Anette Frank, Louisa Sadler, Chris Manning
1.2.1. Problem Cases in the C-structure: F-structure architecture
1.2.2. The M-structure Architecture(s)
1.2.3. The Positive Restriction Architecture
   Questions and Discussion

Session Two
Case Studies in WP and LFG : Farrell Ackerman, Louisa Sadler,
(Andrew Spencer - if time permits):
Presentations will cover the notion predicate, periphrastic and auxiliary
constructions, the notion paradigm, f-structure and morphosyntactic
features
   Questions and Discussion

Session Three
The NP/DP Distinction: Kersti Börjars, John Payne
   Questions and Discussion

Topics for Discussion:-

   > Is a realizational morphology the best kind to incorporate into LFG?
   > How should morphological and syntactic features be related?
   > What is the status of the notion 'paradigm'?
   > If syntactic constructions fill morphological paradigm cells how
   >      should this interaction be captured?
   > Are constructions necessary in LFG?
   > What is the relationship between morphosyntactic (specifically
   >      'functional') features and category?
   > What is the relationship between these various "extended"
             architectures?
