This workshop is the third of a series of workshops on diminutive
morphology and its implications for morphological theory. The workshops
are held in conjunction with different international conferences:

Diminutive morphology presents a number of challenges to morphological
theory and various issues have been discussed extensively: whether
diminutivization is derivation or inflection (Dressler 1989; Scalise
1988; Stump 1993; Manova 2011; Grandi & Körtvélyessy 2015); are
diminutive suffixes heads and/or modifiers (Wiltschko and Steriopolo
2007; Steriopolo 2009, 2015, 2016; Gouskova & Bobaljik, to appear); do
they attach "low" or "high" in the syntactic tree (De Belder et al.
2014; Cinque 2015); which meanings are associated with diminutive
morphology (Dressler & Merlini Barbaresi 1994; Jurafsky 1996) and so on.
Nevertheless, there are still issues that have remained unaddressed:
1. Why do some languages have large sets of diminutive affixes, while
others have very limited sets?
2. What is a diminutive allomorph? (Should allomorphs have the same
semantic-pragmatic function, e.g. could they have different
readings, either positive or negative, depending on the situation?
Should allomorphs be associated with the same inflection class?
Should allomorphs have the same syntactic function: are they either
heads or modifiers or could they be both; could they attach at
different "heights" in the syntactic tree, resulting in "high" vs.
"low" allomorphs?)
3. How does allomorph selection take place in diminutivization? (Is it
based on semantics, on form, on syntactic structure, on
linearization, or on extragrammatical information?)
4. Are gender and inflection class encoded in the same way in
diminutive and non-diminutive nouns? (If diminutive affixes impose
gender and inflection class, what does this mean for our
understanding of the morphology-syntax interface?)
5. What architecture of grammar best captures the peculiarities of
diminutive morphology?
(a) Phonology after morphology, i.e. morphologically conditioned
phonology (and consequently phonology-free syntax)
(b) Phonology before morphology, i.e. phonologically conditioned
morphology (and maybe also syntax)
(c) A mixture of (a) and (b).

We invite papers that tackle any aspect of diminutive allomorphy within
any linguistic theory, including papers on the diachronic development
of allomorphy in diminutive morphology. Contributions that analyze not
only selected affixes but also complete diminutive systems and/or relate
their findings to the architecture of grammar are particularly welcome.
*Abstract submission*
