Linguistic Field(s): Morphology
Meeting Description:
As linguists are quite aware, language can
exist without significant morphological
structure. In fact, morphological structure
typically contributes to the overall complexity
of a language. This symposium will address
issues of morphological complexity from four
different perspectives: cognitive computation,
lexical processing, diversity and evolution,
and the theory of grammar.
Invited speakers will each provide a daily
lecture over the course of four days
(Monday-Thursday) in each of these areas. The
fifth day (Friday) will be devoted to poster
presentations in each of the four areas,
followed by focus group discussion for each
area.
