Meeting Description:
Within the coordinated research project “Native and non-native phonology: Language contact effects and interaction with other components of grammar “ (PID2020-113971GB-C21 and PID2020-113971GB-C22), we are organizing a two-day workshop on “Nominal Inflection and word-formation at the phonology-morphology interface”, featuring the keynote speakers Jennifer L. Smith (UNC Chapel Hill) and Martin Krämer (UiT The Arctic University of Norway).
Since the release in 1986 of “Prosodic Morphology” by McCarthy & Prince, a theory about how morphological and phonological objects interact with one another in a grammatical system, and since its implementation within a constraint-based model such as Optimality Theory in “Prosodic Morphology: Constraint Interaction and Satisfaction” (McCarthy & Prince 1993, 2001), there have been countless applications of their precepts to a varied set of phenomena drawn from a wide variety of languages. With this workshop, we specifically seek original proposals, from any theoretical perspective, dealing with any aspect of the relationship between metrical structure and morphology, and more specifically with those aspects that concern the impingement of prosody on nominal inflection and word-formation. These include but are not limited to phonologically-driven morpheme non-realization and shaping, phonologically-conditioned allomorph selection; metrical structure and word formation and adaptation (i.e. stress patterns in loanwords and, by extension, in second language phonology, the prosodic shape of blends, ideophones, truncates, acronyms, initialisms, etc.); the phonological and morphological effects of morpheme combinations, such as infixation, possible and impossible clitic combinations, deletion under formal identity; number and gender inflection in loans, etc.
A selection of the papers presented at the workshop will be published in a special volume of the journal Catalan Journal of Linguistics (https://revistes.uab.cat/catJL).
