Meeting Description:
The Workshop on Markedness and Underspecification in the Morphology and
Semantics of Agreement (MUMSA) will bring together researchers from two
disciplinary areas of Linguistics (Morphology and Semantics) and from
typological and formalist backgrounds, who are united by both their object of
study (the categorizations underlying agreement) and their approach (appeal to
competition via underspecification), but who in practice have little opportunity
for cross-pollination. The workshop will make steps towards filling the voids
among these exciting research domains.
Full information about MUMSA, including the program, local information and
directions, are available at our website: http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~mumsa
Pre-registration via the website is necessary, since places are limited.
