Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Phonology

Submission Deadline: 17-May-2026

The interaction of morphology and phonology and in particular the way
that phonology can make morphology visible or invisible, is a central
aspect of morpho-phonological interactions. The aim of this workshop
is to provide a platform to map out the different ways that
phonology-morphology interactions make morphological properties
visible or recoverable at different levels of phonology to ultimately
provide a typology of recoverability of morphological relationships
via phonological analysis. Conversely, there are also phenomena that
are sensitive to morphological information, and which raise
interesting questions with respect to linearization. Bringing new
insights and new data from typologically diverse languages the
workshop aims to focus on phenomena that shed new light on our
understanding of the interaction between visibility and recoverability
of phonological and morphological information at this interface. A
number of questions arise in relation to this interaction, and we
welcome abstracts that contribute to answering the following
questions:
 - In what way can phonology be used to delineate and make
morphological boundaries visible, both at the suprasegmental level
(e.g. tone spreading, accent shift, umlaut) and at the segmental level
(e.g. sandhi phenomena)?
 - In what ways does phonology obscure or make morphology less visible
(e.g. with skeletal affixes or floating elements/features)?
 - Conversely, how does morphology obscure or make phonology less
visible?
 - How does phonology affect linearization of morphological
constituents?
 - How do prosodic requirements affect the visibility or
recoverability of morphological information and vice versa?
 - How do phonology and morphology interact in parsing foreign words?
 - Do phonological constraints shape the size of morphological units?
 - Are there cases where phonologically conditioned alternations are
reinterpreted as morphological information (e.g. consonant gradation)?
 - How does NLP account for the perceptual recoverability of invisible
(unproduced) morphological information?
 - What are the implications of obscured morphological recoverability
or visibility in child or second language acquisition?
The workshop is part of the LLcD Conference to be held at
Aix-Marseille University (Aix-en-Provence) from 14 to 16 December 2026
(https://llcd2026.sciencesconf.org/). Abstracts offering theoretical
insights supported by empirical findings that allow us to gain new
understanding and/or which bring new data to the discussion are
strongly welcomed.
Abstract Submission:
Abstracts should be no longer than 500 words (examples included,
references excluded) and should fall within the themes of the
workshop. Presentations will be in the form of 20-minute talks + 10
minutes of discussion. There will also be a poster session as part of
the workshop.
