Linguistic Field(s): Morphology 

Call Deadline: 31-Jan-2019 

Meeting Description:

The Mediterranean Morphology Meeting is a biennial conference series that
brings together linguists from diverse theoretical backgrounds and at various
stages of their career to discuss morphology in an inspiring, informal, and
interactive setting. 

The 12th Mediterranean Morphology Meeting (MMM12) will take place at the
University of Ljubljana (Ljubljana, Slovenia) on June 27-30, 2019. The
conference has a thematic session and an open session. 

The topic of the thematic day will be: 

“The nature of morphological generalizations: Rules, patterns, schemas and
analogy”


Final Call for Papers:

(extended deadline)

Linguistic theories differ in their conceptualization of morphological
generalizations. Classically, generalizations are phrased in terms of rules:
procedural operations that change an input into an output. Individual theories
sharpen this concept by distinguishing various types of rule (lexical vs.
grammatical rules, productive vs. redundancy rules) or organizing rules
sequentially and/or in rule blocks. Other theories reject the notion of rules
in favour of patterns or schemas. Such generalizations are declarative rather
than procedural, and they can serve additional purposes, e.g. in structuring
the lexicon or in guiding linguistic processing. An important type of pattern
is the paradigm, which plays a central role in theories of inflection. Yet
other theories assume analogy as the main mechanism relating existing words
and allowing for the formation of new words. The choice between the options is
more than a matter of taste, and the opportunities for combining them are not
unlimited. Each notion is commonly embedded in a different type of theoretical
architecture. Moreover, experimental research has provided interesting
evidence in favour of particular theoretical approaches.

MMM12 invites empirical, theoretical and experimental contributions within
this problem field. Papers on other morphological topics are welcome for the
open session.

The conference will be preceded by a workshop on the morphology of South
Slavic languages (separate call).

Olivier Bonami (Université Paris Diderot)
Susan Olsen (Humboldt-Universität Berlin)
