Further information about the conference is available at http://www.esse2012.org. Call for Papers: We invite proposals for Seminar 21, 'Word Formation and Morphological Creativity'. This seminar invites papers on word formation, morphological creativity and productivity. Although this field has received much attention over the last 30 years, it remains a much contested area of study where the debate on productivity versus creativity and innovation is still unresolved. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) new perspectives on word structure, neologisms versus nonce formations, lexical re-categorisation, the relation between neologisms and blocking, and the importance of context in lexical creativity. We also expect (re)definitions of key concepts, such as markedness or availability. All theoretical frameworks are welcome as well as papers in the field of the history of language, lexicography, contrastive linguistics, psycholinguistics and language acquisition. Colleagues wishing to participate in the seminar are invited to submit a 200-word abstract directly to the convenors by 31 January 2012. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by 29 February 2012.
