Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Morphology; Phonology; Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

This workshop will bring together theoretical linguists from around the world
to discuss the concept of Allomorphy, i.e. the situation in which one piece of
linguistic information is associated to two forms. The talks in the conference
will be concerned with such topics as possible and impossible triggers of
allomorphy, the representation of allomorphic statements in the linguistic
knowledge of speakers, the interfaces between syntax, mprphology and phonology
and the implications that different approaches to allomorphy have for the
structure of human language. The conference was made possible thanks to the
generous help of the Israeli Science Fundation.
