Meeting Description:

In recent years there has been increasing attention to the ways in which
morphological structure is closely tied to the cognitive processing of word
structure and lexical representation. This workshop is designed to explore the
hypothesis that morphological structures interact dynamically with lexical
processing and storage, with the parameters of morphological typology being
partly dependent on the cognitive pathways for processing, storage, and
generalization of word structure, and vice versa. We are interested in the
nature of this interaction, and seek to determine how far it will take us
towards explaining system-level principles of morphological organization and
their cross-linguistic distribution. Core questions:

1. What are the cognitive pathways that lead to cross-linguistic morphological
tendencies, and how do they create persistent biases over time towards certain
language structures and not others?
2. How do system-level principles of morphological organization emerge from
interactions between the cognitive processing of language, the
representational structure of the lexicon, patterns of language use, social
factors, universal principles of grammar, and other factors?
3. Are there cross-linguistic differences in the existence of uniquely
morphological principles of organization and/or the modularity of language
architecture?
4. What is the role of language-specific distributional properties in
influencing the perception and processing of speech with respect to
morphological structure?

Final Call for Papers:

The deadline for submissions has been extended to February 1.

This is the final call for papers for an NSF-funded workshop, Morphological
Typology and Linguistic Cognition, to be held during the LSA’s 2017 Linguistic
Summer Institute at the University of Kentucky (July 22-23, 2017).

Core questions:

1. What are the cognitive pathways that lead to cross-linguistic morphological
tendencies, and how do they create persistent biases over time towards certain
language structures and not others?
2. How do system-level principles of morphological organization emerge from
interactions between the cognitive processing of language, the
representational structure of the lexicon, patterns of language use, social
factors, universal principles of grammar, and other factors?
3. Are there cross-linguistic differences in the existence of uniquely
morphological principles of organization and/or the modularity of language
architecture?
4. What is the role of language-specific distributional properties in
influencing the perception and processing of speech with respect to
morphological structure?

We invite submissions that address these issues from a variety of perspectives
and methods, including but not limited to experimentation, typological
description, and computational modeling. More information is available at the
workshop website: https://u.osu.edu/mtlc2017/ .

The workshop will consist of talks by invited speakers and others, a poster
session, and discussion/commentary sessions. We plan to publish an edited
volume based on select presentations.

We are soliciting abstracts for both talks (35 min + 10 for questions) and
posters. Abstract submission will be open at
http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/mtlc2017 until January 15, 2017. Abstract
submission guidelines:

- Abstracts must be completely anonymous.
- Abstracts may not exceed one page in length, with minimum 1-inch margins on
all sides of the page and 12-point font. The one-page limit includes any
examples, tables, graphs, references (if needed), etc.
- Abstract submission is limited to one single-author submission per author
and 2 multi-author submissions.
- Abstracts must be submitted as PDF files.

We plan to award several travel allowances (about $400 each, by competitive
review) to students and non-tenured scholars whose abstracts have been
accepted for oral or poster presentation. Students and other junior scholars
should indicate whether they would like to be considered for a travel award at
the time that they submit their abstract(s).
