Topics at the Morphology-Phonology Interface

This session will include regular-length talks that address issues at the
morphology-phonology interface, including:

Invited Speaker: J. Michael Terry
This session will include regular-length talks that address the semantics of
under-represented languages, including non-standard dialects of well-studied
languages (for instance African American English, Bavarian German, or Brazilian
Portuguese). We welcome any research on such languages concerning one or more of
the following areas:
* theoretical semantics
* experimental work on semantics
* semantic fieldwork
* morpho-semantics
* the syntax-semantics interface
* the semantics-pragmatics interface
* information structure
