Workshop Description:
Morphology plays a central role in language structure, yet its
processing remains less explored than phonological, syntactic, or
semantic processing and is often overlooked in clinical and
educational models. Investigating morphological processing requires
fine-grained analysis essential for understanding how morphology
supports language acquisition and use, and how it may aid populations
with atypical linguistic profiles.
While most studies concentrate on typically developing adults,
research on children already reveals how morphology interacts with
lexical development. For instance, recent findings in European
Portuguese show that children process denominal and deverbal agent
nouns more quickly than simplex agent nouns—whereas adults display the
opposite pattern. These results suggest that children, whose lexicons
are still developing, may rely more on morphological cues for word
recognition and comprehension.
Age-related conditions or later-life language pathologies may likewise
reveal distinctive morphological processing patterns, highlighting the
need for research spanning the entire lifespan.
Scope and Topics:
We invite abstracts exploring morphological processing across the
lifespan, with particular attention to children and older adults,
including typical and atypical development.
Topics may include (but are not limited to):
 - Morphological issues such as regular vs. irregular inflection,
morphological complexity, derivation vs. inflection.
 - Experimental and innovative assessment methodologies.
 - Clinical and educational applications: diagnosis, intervention, and
morphology-based didactic programmes.
 - Studies addressing developmental language disorder (DLD), dyslexia,
neurological conditions, and other profiles affecting language.
Approaches from linguistics, clinical linguistics, psycholinguistics,
speech and language therapy, neurolinguistics, education, and special
education are welcome.
The workshop will feature 20-minute talks followed by a 10-minute
discussion and a poster session.
