Although there's only a week till the abstract deadline, this could be a great opportunity to bring SL morphological structures to a wider linguistic community.

Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Typology 

Call Deadline: 08-Feb-2009 

Meeting Description:

The last years have seen substantial advances in the typological study and
the formal modelling of natural language morphology. However, progress in
the theoretical analysis of morphological systems highlights a basic
empirical problem: We know too little about the morphology of too few
languages and language families. 

Call for Papers

This conference in the tradition of Syntax of the World's Languages seeks
to bring together researchers working on the documentation or analysis of
morphological data from less widely studied languages to broaden the
empirical scope of morphological theory. Contributions are expected to be
based either on new data, new generalizations, or new approaches to
analysis. All major theoretical frameworks are equally welcome, as is work
done in analytical frameworks developed in typology or field linguistics.

Invited Speakers: 
Jonathan Bobaljik (University of Connecticut) 
Greville Corbett (University of Surrey) 
Alice Harris (Stony Brook University) 
Larry Hyman (University of Berkeley) 
Martin Haspelmath (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology) 
Andrew Nevins (Harvard University) 
Andrew Spencer (University of Sussex) 
Dieter Wunderlich (Center for General Linguistics, Berlin)

Relevant topics include, but are not restricted to:
-  The Structure of Syncretism
-  Productivity in Derivation and Compounding
-  Nonconcatenative and Prosodic Morphology
-  Systematic and Idiosyncratic Aspects of Allomorphy
-  Affix Order
-  Boundaries of Morphology to Phonology and Syntax

Papers that adopt a diachronic/historical-comparative perspective or that
discuss language-contact effects are also welcome, as are papers which
study the morphology of understudied languages from the psycholinguistic or
neurolinguistic side.

We invite abstracts for 40 minutes presentations (including discussion).
Abstracts should be anonymous, at most one page long (with an optional
second page for data and references), and should be sent as a pdf
attachment to:
doreengeorgi at gmx.de

Deadline for Abstracts: February 8 2008
Notification of Acceptance: February 28 2008
