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.

在形态语义一致（MUMSA）的形态和规范不足研讨会将汇集来自语言学（形态学和语义学）两个学科领域以及类型学和形式主义背景的研究人员，他们的研究对象（语法一致）和方法（通过规范不足吸引竞争）将他们团结在一起，但在实践中很少有机会进行交叉传粉。研讨会将采取步骤，填补这些活跃研究领域之间的空白。近年来，共识的形态学和语义学研究都取得了重大进展。例如，在过去的五年里，一方面，发表了关于人称标记的形态学表达变异范围的主要新方法，另一方面，一些关于人称代词和人称一致的形式语义的新发现。然而，这两个学科领域的成果在很大程度上是相互孤立的，部分原因是该领域内的次专业化程度日益增加。MUMSA将提供代表形态学和语义学，类型学和形式理论的演讲者的平衡。大约三分之二的演讲者是受邀参与者，从每个领域的前沿人士中挑选出来。研讨会将采用演讲加邀请评论的形式，以确保受邀参与者之间的最高水平融合。经审稿摘要选择的其他会谈将确保广泛参与。更广泛地说，研讨会将通过使每个领域的结果更加突出并易于其他领域的研究人员获取，从而对语义学和形态学做出贡献。与此同时，讲习班将作为一个范例，说明该领域内面向形式和面向类型学的研究传统之间的对话所提供的协同可能性。
