 ######################################################

Shortly before the 1994 LSA meeting in Boston, on January 4th-5th 1994,
the Department of Linguistics & Philosophy at MIT will host a workshop
entitled "The Morphology-Syntax Connection". Abstracts are invited
for talks relating to any aspect of the connection between morphology
and syntax.

Suggested topics include:

-- Access of syntax to morphophonological information

-- Derivational ordering of morphology and syntax

-- Derivational and Inflectional Morphology

-- Does syntax "build" or "check" the structure of words, or neither?

-- The effect of morphological paradigm structure on syntactic
 processes (eg. effects of "rich" morphology)

-- Underspecification in lexical entries of morphemes

-- Can syntactic variation be reduced to morphological variation?

-- Are there relations relevant only in just one area (eg. linear
 relations/adjacency)

-- Are there distinct domains which need connection at all?

-- Clitics in morphology and syntax

-- Learning issues in morphosyntax

-- More...

There will be 15 talks of 30 minutes each, with 10 minutes for questions
and discussion. Abstracts of no longer than 2 pages are invited.
Font no smaller than 11 point, please. Include Name, Paper Title,
Affiliation, Address, e-mail. Please send 5 copies to the address below,
to arrive no later than 10th November 1993.

Submissions by fax or e-mail are welcome, but please also send a camera-
ready hard copy of the abstract suitable for reproduction in the
workshop program.

Submitters will be notified of decisions shortly after the deadline.

Limited funds will be available to assist presenters with travel
expenses; priority for these funds will be given to students.
