Meeting description
The Workshop on Theoretical Morphology (WOTM) seeks to provide a platform for researchers from different frameworks such as
Paradigm Function Morphology, Distributed Morphology, Minimalist Morphology, and Optimality Theory with a focus on theoretical
and formal aspects of morphology. WOTM 5 and the 6th meeting of the Network Core Mechanisms of Exponence
will be organized as one joint event on June 25+26, 2010 in Lutherstadt Wittenberg (Germany). For specific network presentations there will be an overarching topic
("Non-standard approaches to exponence"), but this is in no way obligatory for other speakers. All presentations and events are open to the public.
Invited Speakers:
- Gilles Boyé (Université de Bordeaux & CLLE)
- Chris Golston (California State University, Fresno)
- Daniel Harbour (Queen Mary University of London)
- Sharon Inkelas (University of California, Berkeley )
- Ian Roberts (University of Cambridge)
- Barbara Stiebels (ZAS Berlin)
Call for papers
Deadline for Abstracts: April 29
Notification of Acceptance: May 7
Abstract Submission:
- We invite abstracts for thirty-minute talks on any aspect of Theoretical Morphology (20 min for presentation + 10 min for discussion).
- Abstracts must be at most one page long with an optional second page for data and references.
- Abstracts must be anonymous.
- The abstract should be sent as a pdf attachment to:
