However, one day will be devoted to the following specific topic: 'Morphology and the architecture of the grammar' http://www.diplist.it/mmm8/index.php?phpsessid=0466682a16d0e40a729d5b04d0c4c43d Morphology deals with the correlation between the form and meaning of words. It thus plays a central role in theories on the architecture of grammars of natural languages, since it specifies the relationship between form and meaning of expressions in a particular language. Some basic questions are: What are proper criteria for the demarcation of morphological versus syntactic objects? Where, in grammar, are morphological objects to be accounted for? To what extent is the construction of words subject to different principles and constraints than those involved in the construction of phrases? In what ways do morphology, phonology and syntax interact? Should inflection and word formation be dealt with in different parts of grammar, or are they impossible to separate? What do morphological phenomena tell us about the nature of linguistic generalizations (rules, schemas, constructions, etc.), and their place in the description of the competence of language users? Invited Speakers Farell Ackerman (University of California at San Diego) Inflectional Morphology and the Developmental Sciences Greg Stump (University of Kentucky) The formal and functional architecture of inflectional morphology Eighth Mediterranean Morphology Meeting (MMM8): Programme and Call for Registration University of Cagliari, Italy, 14th-17th September 2011 Programme (http://www.diplist.it/mmm8/index.php?phpsessid=0466682a16d0e40a729d5b04d0c4c43d) During the meeting two poster sessions will be held.
