Meeting Description:
The First Oxford Workshop on Romance Verb Morphology will be held in Trinity College, Oxford, UK from 27-28 August 2008 (Wed-Thu). The conference aims to provide a forum for presenting research carried out by the members of the AHRC-funded research project “Autonomous Morphology in Diachrony: comparative evidence from the Romance languages” at the University of Oxford. The focus of this two-day conference will be on basic features of the structure of Romance verb paradigms, especially on the notion of autonomously morphological structures in the Romance inflectional system and their importance in diachronic change in the paradigmatic system.

Invited speakers:
  Stephen R. Anderson (Yale)
  Mark Aronoff (Stony Brook)
  Michele Loporcaro (Zürich)
  Vito Pirrelli (Pisa)
