Meeting Description

The members of the AHRC-funded research project “Autonomous Morphology in Diachrony: comparative evidence from the Romance languages” in the Research Centre for Romance Linguistics at the University of Oxford are pleased to announce that the second Oxford workshop on Romance morphology will take place at St Catherine’s College, Oxford, from 8 to 10 October 2010. The workshop will highlight research being carried out by the members of the project; the principal focus will be on basic features of the structure of Romance verb paradigms, especially the notion of autonomously morphological structures in the Romance inflectional system and their diachronic significance. The following invited speakers will also be giving papers:

     Stephen R. Anderson (Yale)
     Mark Aronoff (Stony Brook)
     Michele Loporcaro (Zürich)
     Nigel Vincent (Manchester)
