Meeting Description:

In linguistic theory, the concept of cyclicity refers to the notion
that derivations are built in a stepwise manner. That is, grammatical
processes may apply at different points of the derivation and hence,
to different grammatical domains. While cyclicity is well-established
both in Minimalist syntactic theories in the form of phases (e.g.
Chomsky 2000) and phonological theories (e.g. Lexical Phonology,
Stratal Optimality Theory, Harmonic Serialism, Cophonologies by
Phase), little work discusses the question to what extent morphology
is a cyclic module (e.g. recent work by Müller 2020 on Harmonic
Serialism in morphology), or how the cyclic architecture of other
modules, such as phonology and syntax, is reflected in morphology.

In general, there is little consensus across cyclic theories on the
following questions:
 - To what extent are cycles within a module different from each
other?
 - How are grammatical rules distributed across cycles?
 - Are some cycles inherently iterative?
 - What is the size of cyclic domains and is it universal?
 - Is the number of domains universal?
 -To what extent are cycles different across modules?
 - Is there cyclicity in semantics?

Our workshop aims to fill this gap by bringing together theoretical
linguists working on topics in phonology, morphology, syntax and
semantics to discuss the concept of cyclicity across theories and
modules.

Invited speakers:
Anke Himmelreich (University of Bielefeld / University of Frankfurt)
Hannah Sande (UC Berkeley)

We invite submissions for 20-minute oral presentations (+ 10 minutes
discussion) in English. We are equally interested in theoretical and
empirical contributions. Abstracts should be anonymously submitted to
EASYABS via the following link:
https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/vic-47dgfs/

Abstracts should be at most one page long, plus references on the
second page, on A4 paper with 2.5cm margins on all sides, and must be
set in Times New Roman font of at least 11 points. The deadline for
submission is 15 August 2024; notification date is 31 August 2024.

Notification of acceptance: August 31, 2024
