Recent work on English morphology has shown that
morphological theory as well as the understanding of the morphological
systems of particular languages can profit immensely from the study of large
data sets that have become available through corpora and experiments. The aim
of this conference is to bring together researchers that entertain data-rich
approaches to English morphology to advance our understanding of this
language and of morphological structure in general. The organisers welcome contributions on all aspects of the
morphology of English, using any kind of data-driven, theory-oriented
approach, including experimental, corpus-based, quantitative and
computational studies. |
