A l'invitation de l'Université Paris Diderot-Paris 7

GREGORY STUMP (Université du Kentucky) 
donnera une série de conférences en anglais portant sur la morphologie flexionnelle sur le thème


CONTENT vs. FORM IN INFLECTIONAL PARADIGMS

In this series of lectures, I use evidence from a range of languages to develop a model of inflectional morphology that explains a variety of mismatches between content and form in inflectional paradigms.
Lecture 1.  The nature of morphomic properties.  Drawing on evidence from Hua [Trans-New Guinea; Papua New Guinea], Nepali, Twi [Niger-Congo; Ghana], and other languages, I discuss the motivation for postulating morphomic properties and their significance for morphological theory.
Lecture 2. Content/form mismatches among a paradigm’s cells.  I examine content/form mismatches among cells of individual paradigms, elaborating on the theoretical significance of phenomena such as overabundance, suppletion and syncretism in Chichewa [Niger-Congo; Malawi], German, Latin, Turkish, and other languages.
Lecture 3. Content/form mismatches among distinct lexemes belonging to the same syntactic category.  Drawing on evidence from Latin, Old Norse, Sanskrit, and other languages, I discuss mismatches between content and form that emerge through the comparison of distinct paradigms belonging to the same syntactic category; some such mismatches involve the realization of the same content by distinct morphology, while others involve the realization of distinct content by the same morphology.  I use this evidence to extend the theoretical conclusions of Lectures 1 and 2.
Lecture 4. Content/form mismatches among lexemes belonging to distinct syntactic categories.  Content/form mismatches also exist between paradigms that belong to distinct syntactic categories; I present an account of such mismatches in Baure [Arawakan; Bolivia], Hungarian, Noon [Niger-Congo; Senegal], and other languages.  I conclude with a summary of the proposed model, highlighting future directions for its refinement.
