    Workshop on Possible Word

    Date: 13-Feb-2004 - 13-Feb-2004 Location: Vienna, Austria Contact: Andrew Hippisley Contact Email: a.hippisleysurrey.ac.uk

    Linguistic Sub-field: Morphology

    This is a session of the following conference: 11th International Morphology Meeting

    Meeting Description:

    The Workshop will investigate the notion "possible word" from a morphological perspective. We are interested in the extremes, in how far words can differ from the canonical type in given languages. In inflection, relevant phenomena are suppletion, syncretism, defectiveness and deponency, each of which can produce unusual words. Interactions between these phenomena can give rise to especially interesting effects. In derivational morphology we are similarly interested in how far the limits can be stretched, in compounding (through recursion) and notably in incorporation.
