Since Aronoff (1994), the term 'morphome' has been widely used to denote a unit of linguistic representation known only to the morphology. Candidates for morphomic status include inflectional class features, as well as derivational and inflectional bases ('stems') which do not submit to a consistent semantic or syntactic characterization. This workshop brings together scholars who share an interest in the concept of the morphome, but who hold divergent views on whether morphomes exist, what they may be, and how to account for morphological patterns claimed to require the postulation of morphomes. Our speakers will be offering different theoretical and empirical views on all of these questions. Invited Speakers: Mark Aronoff (Stony Brook), Ricardo Bermúdez-Otero (Manchester), Greville Corbett (Surrey), Andrew Koontz-Garboden (Manchester), Martin Maiden (Oxford), Andrew Nevins (UCL), Donca Steriade, Andrew Spencer (Essex), Gregory Stump (Kentucky), Jochen Trommer (Leipzig).
