Meeting Description:
Defective Paradigms: Missing Forms and What they Tell Us
Defectiveness in morphological paradigms remains a serious challenge to
linguistic theory. This two-day conference will assess our current understanding
of defectiveness and plot the directions for future research.
Defective Paradigms: Missing Forms and What they Tell Us
London, April 10-11, 2008
Although defective morphological paradigms have been known to us since the days
of Classical grammarians, they remain one of the most poorly understood aspects
of grammar, and challenge reigning models of the acquisition and application of
inflectional rules. This conference, organized by the Surrey Morphology Group as
part of research project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council,
brings together leading scholars to assess the implications of defectiveness for
our understanding of language.
The conference will be held at the British Academy, 10 Carlton House Terrace,
London. Attendance is free, but registration is essential. To register, please
visit the conference website at:

A limited number of bursaries will be available to cover the expenses of
postgraduate students who wish attend; information and applications can be
obtained from the conference website.
