Meeting Description:
The goal of the ParadigMo workshops is to identify and discuss fundamental issues of paradigm-based approaches to Word-Formation modeling.
Obviously, the first issue is the notion of paradigm itself. Paradigmatic and syntagmatic axes were both fundamental components of modern linguistics at the beginning of the 20th century (e.g. Saussure 1916). Despite the central part of the notion of paradigm, it almost entirely disappeared under the influence of Generative Grammar and maintained only a niche position in inflectional morphology (Matthews 1974, Corbett & Fraser 1993, Carstairs-McCarthy 1994, Stump 2001).
However with van Marle (1985) and Bauer (1997), paradigms were progressively reintroduced in derivational morphological models and are now on their way to become a key concept (Bochner 1993, Becker 1993, Booij 1997). In recent years, several morphology meetings have focused on this topic, two workshops at SLE in Naples (August 2015), the ParadigMo workshop in Toulouse (June 2017), and another one at Word-Formation Theories III in Košice (June 2018) with almost each an upcoming volume : Hathout et Namer (2018, 2019), Fernandez-Domínguez, Bagasheva & Lara-Clares (In press).
Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we were not able to hold the ParadigMo2 workshop in Bordeaux in 2020.
Because a workshop does not only consist of formal presentations but is also a place where we can meet each other and discuss research projects together, we would still like to organise an actual workshop, rather than a virtual one (if sanitary conditions allow it), with all of our participants in Bordeaux on June 3-4, 2021.
However, we understand that some of the participants may not be able to travel all the way to Bordeaux or that they may feel more comfortable doing and/or attending presentations from home.
Therefore, (and because we are cautiously optimistic) we have decided to broadcast the workshop live and/or use a virtual conferencing platform for the participants at home. Should sanitary conditions forbid travelling or gathering in June 2021, we would then organize the entire conference online.
If you haven’t done it yet, you can still submit your paper for evaluation. In order to accommodate as many people as possible in these troubled times, the submission deadline was extended to January 15, 2021 !

Call for Papers:
The first edition of ParadigMo called for contributions that would discuss paradigmatic approaches to word-formation in general. On the one hand, several lines of argumentation for the use of paradigms in word-formation emerged from the workshop:
– paradigms are needed for particular word-formation data sets
– French deanthroponyms (Huguin), morphosemantic mismatches (Stump), Turkish word-formation (Aksehirli), French demonyms (Schalchli & Boyé)
– inflection and word-formation interact
– Hebrew passivation (Laks), NN compounds inflection (Radimsky)
– inflection and word-formation can be described with the same concepts
– predictibility (Bonami, Bauer)
– common correlations with other linguistic domains
– L1/L2 learning (Piccinin & al.), frequency effects (Ferro & al.), borrowings (Gaeta), nonce discrimination (Rodriguès & Rodriguès)
On the other hand, several papers addressed differences between word-formation and inflection relative to paradigms:
– word-formation focuses on series and inflection on cells (Fradin)
– word-formation networks vs inflection tables (Spencer)
– semantic relations heterogeneity/homogeneity (Bonami & Paperno)
Among the difficulties particular to the introduction of paradigms in word-formation, the diversity of their shapes contrasts strongly with their canonical uniformity in inflection (Corbett). For non-canonical inflectional paradigms, Stump (2006) proposed paradigm linkage as a way to capture paradigmatic irregularities with an intermediate level of organization between the syntactic/semantic dimension and the stem/exponent realization. Paradigm linkage has been adapted by Stekauer (2014) for derivational families.
This second edition will welcome papers on all aspects of paradigms in word-formation. And since the non-uniformity of paradigms in word-formation seems to be one of the handicaps that prevent the adoption of paradigms in word-formation, we propose a thematic session that would explore different aspects of this problem.
