Call for Papers:

The topic of the thematic session will be:
“Lexicon, lexemes, lexicalization”

Every morphological theory is expected to identify units and define the nature and constraints of the patterns in which these units are involved. Beyond this point, there is little agreement on which units must be taken as basic, where they are stored and whether (or when) the patterns combining these basic units are stored.

Starting from this very uncommitted preamble, for the MMM14 thematic session, we invite papers in which a reflexion is made on the lexicon, on the notion of the lexeme and/or on lexicalization (more generally on the storage, the units and the ways in which new units enter the lexicon, respectively), accounting for any phenomenon related to the grammar of words.

We invite papers that explore the notions of the lexicon, the lexeme, and lexicalization, while addressing issues related to the organization of the lexicon and lexical storage, based on any phenomena related to the grammar of words.

The call is open to papers of any methodological or theoretical perspective.

For the open session, papers on any morphological topic are welcome.

The conference will host the workshop “Untangling the bundle: language contact at the word level and below”. Further information concerning the workshop will be provided soon.
