Call Deadline: 11-Nov-2010 

Meeting Description:

This is a first call for papers for a workshop to be included in the  44th
Annual Meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europaea, 8-11 September 2011 

Call For Papers

Potential participants should send a provisional title and a short abstract
(max. 250 words, references excluded) no later than November 11, 2010, 
so that the workshop proposal (including a preliminary list of participants) 
could be submitted to the SLE Scientific Committee by November 15, 2010.

If the workshop is accepted, all abstracts will have to be submitted to the 
SLE by January 15, 2011 via the conference site (http://sle2011.cilap.es/).
The purpose of the proposed session is to invite discussions on the status 
of word formation as the site of multiple interfaces, as a language universal 
and as an area fairly neglected in lexicography.  
Both language and mind are considered to be systems functioning as 
integrated wholes.  The study of word formation is crucial for understanding 
both the linguistic and cognitive interfaces and the constraints that operate 
on them (Van Der Zee and Nikanne 2000). Despite heightened research in 
discourse studies and pragmaticalization, word formation remains an area 
of ongoing debate as it resists unequivocal analysis. The proposed 
workshop is an attempt to bring together state-of-the-art research on word 
formation which takes into account the new epistemological realities of 
linguistic theorizing [constructionism (Booj 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010); Tuggy 
2005 a,b; Langacker 1987; Lampert and Lampert 2010) and cognitive 
linguistics (Langacker 1987, 2009; Evans 2006, 2007, 2009), etc.] and 
reveals the central role of words (as names and as lexical concepts) as 
lenses into the patterning of our concepts and different types of cognitive 
knowledge.  

The main areas which the workshop targets in its general interest in the 
central place of word formation in meaning construction processes include 
but are not restricted to:
a) word creation/manufacturing (Booij 2005) and word formation - How do 
the two relate?
b) word formation at the cognition-semantics-pragmatics interface;
c) word formation at the syntax - morphology interface;
d) word formation and lexicography - cross-pollination between linguistics 
and lexicography - What can be done?
e) word formation and language contact (borrowings, mutual influences, 
etc.);
f) What is universal in word formation? 
There are no restrictions as to the word formation type discussed (all types 
of affixation, compounding, conversion, back-formation, clipping/truncation,
blending, etc.). The seminar is open to all theoretical frameworks and 
models, despite the cognitivist underpinnings of the proposal.
