Meeting Description:

Proposal for a workshop to be held in conjunction with the 54th Annual Meeting
of the Societas Linguistica Europaea, Athens, 31 August – 3 September 2021

This workshop is planned as the first of a series of workshops that challenge
morphological theory with data from diminutivization and addresses three basic
issues of diminutive morphology: A. Demarcation, B. Status in grammar, and C.
Theoretical description.

Diminutive(-related) meanings and forms have received much attention in the
literature (overview in Grandi & Körtvelyessy 2015) and some authors have
claimed that we cannot account for peculiarities of diminutives with the
regular mechanisms of grammar but need an additional component: evaluative
morphology (Scalise 1986), morphopragmatics (Dressler & Merlini-Barnaresi
1994). Do we? Or is everything a matter of method (Jurafsky 1996)?

Organizers:

Call for Papers: 

The full text of the CFP is available at:
https://sites.google.com/view/morphologytheories-diminutives/calls-for-papers/
dmtd1 

We invite papers that tackle diminutive morphology (based on A, B, C in the
CFP) with data from any language and within any theory. Submissions suggesting
improvements of the architectures of existing theories of morphology are
particularly welcome.

If you are interested in the workshop, please send a 500-word anonymous
abstract in a PDF-format to stela.manova at univie.ac.at by November 8, 2020. 

We have enough insightful submissions for a short (one-day) workshop but will
apply for a long workshop if we receive strong abstracts in response to this
CFP.

You can expect to be notified about acceptance/rejection by November 12, 2020.

If the workshop is accepted by the SLE organizers, additional information will
be circulated after December 15, 2020.
