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

形态和规格不足的协议的形态语义学（MUMSA）的研讨会将汇集来自语言学（形态学和语义学）和类型学和形式主义背景的两个学科领域的研究人员，他们的研究对象（语法协议）和他们的方法（呼吁通过规格不足的竞争），但在实践中几乎没有机会交叉授粉。该研讨会将采取步骤填补这些活跃的研究领域之间的空白。近年来，在对协议的形态学和语义学的理解方面取得了重大进展。例如，在过去的五年里，一方面，人们看到了对人称标记的形态表达的变化范围的主要新的处理方法的出版，另一方面，人们看到了关于人称代词和人称一致的形式语义学的一些第一批新发现。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级专业化程度越来越高。MUMSA将提供代表形态学和语义学，类型学和形式理论的发言者的平衡。大约三分之二的演讲者是受邀与会者，从每个领域的最前沿选出。研讨会将采用演讲加特邀评论的形式，以确保受邀与会者之间的最高水平融合。通过评审摘要选择的其他演讲将确保广泛的参与。更广泛地说，讲习班将有助于语义学和形态学，使每个领域的成果更加突出，更容易为其他领域的研究人员所用。与此同时，讲习班将作为一个例子，说明该领域内注重形式和注重类型的研究传统之间的对话所提供的协同可能性。

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.
