Linguistic Field(s): Morphology 

Meeting Description: 

The investigation of analogies constitutes a longstanding tradition in
inflectional morphology. Contributions that treat analogies with respect to
wider areas within an inflectional paradigm (and not only as proportions
between single forms) were made early (see, among others, Kuryłowicz 1945-49,
on levelling from Old to Middle French), but it was especially the focus on
the morpho-syntactic paradigm as an object of theoretical linguistic research
(see Carstairs 1987, among others) that intensified the research on different
kind of patterns that serve as domains for analogical processes – see Blevins
& Blevins (2009: 3), who define the paradigm as the “central locus of analogy
in grammar”. Some of the major contributions that influenced, either directly
or at least to a considerable extent, the field of analogical patterns are
Bybee (1985), where they are treated from a frequencybased perspective,
Aronoff’s seminal work on so-called ‘morphomes’ (see Aronoff 1994; see also
Maiden 2018 on morphomes in Romance languages) and Stump (2001), where
paradigmatic patterns are consistently formalized.

The workshop aims at bringing together morphologists working on analogical
patterns and paradigms in inflectional morphology, taking into consideration
different language areas and theoretical backgrounds, to discuss, among other
aspects,
a) the temporal and structural dynamics of analogies within and between
patterns, especially, but not exclusively, from a quantitative diachronic
perspective
b) the circumstances that favour or disfavour analogies partaking in pattern
formation, for example those contributing to a relative stability of certain
patterns against analogy (see, for example, Esher 2016)
proposals on modelling analogical patterns, e.g. feature-based approaches,
also including architectural paradigmatic issues as in Plank (2016) as well as
frequency-based and computational approaches (etc.)
c) the predictability and learnability of analogical patterns (e.g. according
to Albright 2009)
analogical, especially morphomic, patterns that are not restricted to Romance
languages (e.g. Round 2015)
typological aspects in general.
The workshop is part of a research grant offered by the German Research
Council (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) to Sascha Gaglia (Project title:
“Temporal analysis and modelling of the paradigmatic extension of verbal roots
in French and Italian”; Department of Romance Philology, Goettingen,
2017-2020).
