3rd Vienna Workshop on Affix Order

 

Call for Papers 

 

 

Advances in Affix Order Research

 

We invite papers that deal with any aspect of affix order (see the recent overviews of approaches to affix order by Rice 2009 and Manova & Aronoff 2010), especially if they:  

- present and discuss novel data (from lesser-known and well-known languages alike)

- report new findings within (a) well-known theoretical framework(s)

- provide original analyses that challenge established theories

In addition to the general session, there will be two special sessions:

 

Special Session 1

Special Session 2

Affix order in Slavic languages: approaches, electronic resources, and automatic morphological analysis

Invited speakers

Peter Kosta (Potsdam, Germany)

Natalya Pertsova (Moscow, Russia)
