Call For Papers
November 4-6, 2005
The goal of TLS 9 is to provide a forum for the presentation of original research on morphosyntactic phenomena in languages that are underrepresented in the literature, that is, less studied languages and/or less-studied varieties of more-represented languages. We welcome the submission of papers on topics including (but not limited to): voice, case-marking, agreement, cliticization, complex predicate formation, verb serialization, noun incorporation, morphological blocking, lexical integrity, word order variation.
In addition to the above stated goals, the conference encourages comparisons between different theoretical frameworks.
Invited Speakers include:
Rose-Marie Dechaine
Andrew Garrett
Lisa Green
Sam Mchombo
Stephen Wechsler
Organizing Committee
Douglas S. Bigham, Frederick Hoyt, Nikki Seifert, Alexandra Teodorescu, Jessica White
