Linguistic Field(s): Linguistic Theories; Morphology

Call Deadline: 31-Mar-2025

Meeting Description:

Evaluation and its realization in grammar is a hotly debated domain in
linguistic theory and has led to the publication of many important
studies (e.g., that by Scalise 1984, 1988 inaugurating the field,
Stump 1993, Dressler & Barbaresi 1994, Grandi 2002, Manova et al. 2023
to mention just a few). Amongst them, the Handbook of Evaluative
Morphology edited by Nicola Grandi & Lívia Körtvélyessy in 2015 holds
a prominent position, summarizing all major topics and theoretical
advances in the field until then, shedding light on aspects that merit
further investigation and analysis (e.g. Aktionsart and gradation in
evaluative morphology) and providing a broad empirical coverage of the
evaluative morphology in 52 under- or less-described languages
representing forty-four genera and twenty-six language families. A
decade after the publication of this seminal work, the question that
naturally arises is where research on evaluative morphology is headed
and what are the latest advances in the field.

To this end, aiming to capitalize on the latest developments in
evaluative morphology, we welcome all theoretically- empirically- or
methodologically based studies to evaluative morphology. Potential
topics could include but are not limited to the followingː
 (i)    productivity and competition in evaluative morphological
processes (suffixation, prefixation, compounding, reduplication,
etc.),
 (ii)   synchrony and diachrony of evaluative morphology,
 (iii)  variationist and language contact aspects of evaluative
morphology,
 (iv)   the relation of evaluation with other grammatical categories,
 (v)    new methods and/or approaches (acquisitional, experimental
etc.) to the study of evaluative morphology,
 (vi)   new perspectives in the study of semantics and pragmatics of
evaluation,
 (vii)  combinability of morphological elements and/or processes for
the realization of evaluation.
