Linguistic Field(s): Morphology

Meeting Description:

Workshop at the 21st International Morphology Meeting, 28 - 30 August
2024, located at WU Vienna, Austria.

This workshop is jointly organized as part of the Austrian Science
Fund (FWF) projects “Relational adjectives in the history of German”
(FWF P 32415-G, PI Werner) and “Verbal categories and categorizers in
diachrony” (FWF V 850-G, PI Grestenberger).

Topics that could be treated include (but are not limited to):

•       What is the division of labor between the derivational base
and the adjectival “superstrate” in encoding argument structure in
(different classes of) adjectives? Which argument structure properties
can correlate with which kinds of morphological marking?
•       Which aspects of RA and QA morphosyntax are universal, which
are language-specific?
•       How does RA- and QA-related morphology interact with other
lexicalization strategies, especially in the verbal domain?
•       Is the difference between RAs and QAs primarily a semantic or
a morphological/syntactic one? That is, does it follow from the
meaning (abstract vs. concrete) or category (root vs. nominal) of the
base, or is it gradient? Do we find syntactic correlates of
morphological patterns, or vice versa?
•       How does possessive morphology relate to QA & RA morphology,
especially in languages that use the “possessive strategy” mentioned
in (1)?

ABSTRACTS (anonymous, between 500-750 words + references, in English)
for 20-minute presentations should be sent to the workshop organizers
at the above e-mail addresses no later than Nov. 30, 2023.
Notifications of acceptance will be sent around Jan. 15, 2024.
