Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Syntax

The purpose of this workshop is to investigate the relationship
between morphology and syntax, and in particular to investigate the
extent to which morphological generalizations can be accounted for in
terms of purely syntactic operations and conditions. Can morphology
and syntax be unified under purely Merge based theories with the same
principles?
April 17, Friday
Queens College, City University of New York
Queens Hall 250, 65-21 Main Street
Flushing, NY 11367
Goals:
Phenomena traditionally thought of as morphological can be accounted
for in terms of syntactic operations and principles, hence bringing
forth questions that traditional morphology fails to ask (for
instance, concerning the licensing of empty morphemes). The language
faculty contains no specific morphological component, nor any
post-syntactic morphological operations.
