Workshop on Markedness and Underspecification in the Morphology and Semantics of Agreement

协议形态语义学中的形态和不规范问题研讨会(MUMSA)将汇聚来自语言学两个学科领域(形态和语义学)和类型学和形式主义背景的研究人员，他们因研究对象(语法一致)和方法(通过不充分的规范吸引竞争)而团结在一起，但实际上很少有机会进行交叉授粉。研讨会将采取步骤填补这些活跃的研究领域的空白。近年来，在对协议的形态和语义的理解方面取得了重大进展。例如，在过去的五年里，一方面出版了关于人称标记的形态表达变异范围的主要新处理方法，另一方面，在人称代词和人称同意的形式语义方面也有了一些新的发现。然而，这两个学科领域的成果在很大程度上是相互隔离的，部分原因是该领域内的次级专业化程度越来越高。MUMSA将提供代表词法和语义、类型学和形式理论的发言者之间的平衡。大约三分之二的演讲者是特邀参与者，他们是从每个领域的尖端人物中挑选出来的。讲习班将有专题介绍和特邀评论格式，以确保特邀与会者之间达到最高程度的融合。由评审摘要选择的其他演讲将确保广泛参与。更广泛地说，研讨会将通过使两个领域的结果更加突出和易于另一个领域的研究人员获得，从而促进语义学和形态学的发展。同时，讲习班将成为该领域内注重形式的研究传统和注重类型学的研究传统之间对话所带来的协同可能性的范例。

The Workshop on Morphology and Underspecification in the Morpho-Semantics of Agreement (MUMSA) will bring together researchers from two disciplinary areas of Linguistics (Morphology and Semantics) and from typological and formalist backgrounds, who are united by both their object of study (grammatical agreement) and their approach (appeal to competition via underspecification), but who in practice have little opportunity for cross-pollination. The workshop will make steps towards filling the voids among these active research domains.Significant advances have been made in the understanding of both the morphology and semantics of agreement in recent years. For example, the last five years have seen, on the one hand, publication of the major new treatments of the range of variation in the morphological expression of person marking, and on the other, some of the first new discoveries about the formal semantics of personal pronouns and person agreement. Yet the results of the two disciplinary areas have been largely isolated from one another, in part as a result of the increasing degree of sub-specialization within the field. MUMSA will provide for a balance of speakers representing morphology and semantics, typology and formal theory. Roughly two-thirds of the speakers are invited participants, selected from the cutting edge in each area. The workshop will have a presentation plus invited commentary format to ensure the highest level of integration among the invited participants. Additional talks selected by refereed abstract will ensure broad participation. More broadly, the workshop will contribute to both semantics and morphology by making results in each area more prominently and readily accessible to researchers in the other. At the same time, the workshop will serve as an example of the synergistic possibilities afforded by dialogues among formal-oriented and typologically-oriented research traditions within the field.
