PhD/Young Researcher Workshop on: FORMAL ELEGANCE AND NATURAL COMPLEXITY IN MORPHOLOGY August 18-22 A workshop held as part of the 9th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI97) August 11-22, 1997, Aix-en-Provence, France FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS ORGANISER: Dunstan Brown (University of Surrey) BACKGROUND: Formally oriented approaches to morphology often start from familiar and well documented natural languages, which more often than not throw up complex questions. For instance, questions about the relation between particular morphosyntactic features, underspecification, rules of referral, or disjunctive representations, among other things, can arise from analysis of familiar languages. Languages which provide key evidence on such issues may be less well known. Through the workshop, researchers working on particular languages can become acquainted with issues which are of interest for formal approaches, and formally oriented researchers can learn more about the complexity of natural language morphology. The workshop will therefore provide a forum for young researchers working in either or both of these areas to come together and exchange ideas. WORKSHOP AIMS: This workshops aims to: * provide a setting for PhD Students/Young researchers to present and discuss their work, in a small, friendly and constructive environment; * facilitate the exchange of ideas between researchers working on particular languages or language typology and those interested in formal approaches to morphology CALL FOR PAPERS: You are invited to submit two copies of an abstract for a twenty-minute talk (plus 10 minutes) discussion. Submissions of more than one abstract will also be considered. DEADLINE: May 31, 1997. Abstracts should be sent to: Dunstan Brown Linguistic and International Studies University of Surrey Guildford Surrey GU2 5XH England Tel: +44 1483 259957 Fax: +44 1483 302605 Email: d.brown@surrey.ac.uk Dunstan Brown Linguistic and International Studies University of Surrey Guildford Surrey GU2 5XH Email: d.brown@surrey.ac.uk Fax: +44 1483 302605 Tel: +44 1483 25 9957
