Session 4 - Marc von Oostendorp : Phonology and Morphology

Being arguably among the first aspects of the grammars of human language to receive a scholarly treatment at a high level, morphology and phonology continue to blossom. Both fields have attained very refined descriptions of a large number of typologically very diverse languages; both have been studied under many different sets of theoretical assumptions; both have played a role also in many discussions about psycho- and sociolinguistics; both have been the focus of debate on a large number of older and more recent issues, including the following six:

• The relation between synchrony and diachrony
• The relation between language-specific description and general theory
• The proper description of allomorphy
• The relation between storage and computation
• The interface between phonology and morphology
• The level of abstraction of representations

For this parallel session, we invite oral presentations (20 minutes + 10 minutes discussion) on any of these six topics, as well as on any other topic of interest that might bear on our general understanding of phonology and morphology. Contributions may obviously concentrate on one or more specific viewpoints, but should also be understandable for those who do not share those particular assumptions.
