Linguistic Field(s): Morphology
Meeting Description:
The Surrey Morphology Group is hosting a
one-day workshop titled 'Inflectional
Morphology and verb classes in the Oto-Manguean
languages of Mexico' at The University of
Surrey, Guildford, UK, on Friday 14 March
2014.
Languages of the Oto-Manguean phylum display
some of the most complex inflection class
systems ever described. The sheer number of
classes, their unpredictability, and the
layering of cross-classifying systems of
affixation, tone and stem alternations present
both a descriptive and theoretical challenge.
This workshop features some of the leading
figures in the field and will provide a space
for exposition and discussion about some of
these major challenges.
Invited speakers will be:
- Anthony Woodbury (University of Texas at
Austin), Chatino family
- Jean-Léo Léonard (LPP & Université Paris
3), Mazatecan family
- Rosemary Beam (UNAM, Mexico City), Southern
Zapotec family
- Søren Wichmann (MPI-EVA), Tlapanecan
family
- Yuni Kim (University of Manchester), San Juan
Amuzgos Amuzgo
Please see programme below or attached.
This workshop is part of the ESRC/AHRC
co-funded research project 'Endangered
Complexity: Inflectional classes in
Oto-Manguean languages' (
http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/RES-062-23-3126/read).
Everybody is welcome to attend the workshop,
but in order to prepare for the catering
(lunch, drinks and coffee will be provided) we
kindly request that you let us know in advance
of your intention to attend.
The RES-062-23-3126 project has a small amount
of funding allocated to assist with the travel
expenses of a number of postgraduate students
studying at a UK institution. If you are
interested in being considered for this
assistance, please send Timothy Feist
(t.feist
surrey.ac.uk) a brief outline by
the end of February 2014 of how you think the
topic of this workshop is relevant to your
research.
