[RNLD List] 3rd CFP: Dissecting Morphological Theory 3: Diminutivization, Allomorphy and the Architecture of Grammar

Wed Jan 5 01:25:27 UTC 2022

While this workshop looks great, I wonder if this is the wrong list to post
it to?
Typically the RNLD list is for sharing resources and information around
language documentation and revitalisation.
