Symposium 6: Morphology in Generative Grammar and Language Processing

The term Morphology immediately evokes the notion of a word; however, defining what constitutes a word is far from straightforward. Its boundaries and explanations vary across different areas of grammar, and the answers can be highly diverse. Indeed, one might even question whether a single, universally accepted definition of “word” is possible.
This Thematic Symposium aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on Morphology, bringing together research from both theoretical and applied domains, including the interface with Word Processing. Contributions addressing Morphology, Morphophonology, Morphosemantics, and the interaction between Morphology and Word Processing will be considered. Additionally, studies exploring connections between Morphology and Language Acquisition, Teaching, or other applied areas are welcome.
Within the generative grammar framework, we particularly anticipate research that:
●Investigates the internal structure of words and the processes involved in word formation;
●Describes and analyzes phenomena linking words to argument structure;
●Explores interfaces between Morphology and other grammatical modules.
Both approaches—studying words in isolation and examining words as structures with internal mechanisms analogous to those of sentences—will be considered.
The symposium’s central theoretical focus is a formalist perspective on the word and its various interfaces with natural and artificial languages. This includes engagement with emerging topics driven by advances in Artificial Intelligence, which are increasingly relevant to linguistic research.
