Meeting Description: 

The aim of this workshop is to bring together scholars who are looking for new questions and/or methods for the study of word-formation in Latvian, Latgalian, Lithuanian, or Old Prussian, both from a synchronic and a diachronic point of view. We are especially interested in studies at the interface of word-formation and other fields, such as:
-word-formation and inflection, for example word-formation processes with “inflection-like” formal properties (high productivity, regularity, generality), or notorious border cases such as the present  participles in Latvian;
-word-formation and syntax, for example valency-changing derivational processes (causatives, reflexives, etc.);
-word-formation and pragmatics, for example the use of diminutive forms for expressing politeness;
-word-formation and text linguistics, for example the different uses of derived lexemes in texts, or the genre-specific use of certain means of word-formation;
-word-formation and corpus linguistics, for example corpus-based productivity measures, parallel corpus-based studies;
-word-formation and language contact, for example the adaptation of loanwords by derivational means, or the borrowing of derivational affixes.
