Meeting Description:

On February 9 and 11, 2012, University of Vienna will host a two-day workshop 'Borrowed Morphology: Form and Meaning', as a related event of the 15th International Morphology Meeting (IMM15). 

The impact of language contact on grammatical structure has become a widely discussed topic in theoretical linguistics of the last decade, cf. such contributions as Dahl & Koptjevskaja-Tamm (eds.) 2001, Heine & Kuteva 2005, Aikhenvald & Dixon (eds.) 2007, Matras & Sakel (eds.) 2007, Gardani 2008 etc. Borrowing of grammatical, in particular, of morphological entities, has been the focus of the last two publications, but still remains rather understudied. 

The workshop will focus on borrowed morphology (both inflectional and derivational) and the ways nativizing it across languages. We do not limit our topic just to the instances of material borrowing (i.e. transfer of a particular morpheme together with its phonological shape from the source language to the target language), but are also going to discuss borrowing of functions, i.e. instances of polysemy replication.
