Confs: Symposium on Diversity in Early Multilingualism
Many children worldwide grow up learning and using two or more languages. The experiences of multilingual children vary greatly. Therefore, it is impossible to treat multilingual children as a homogeneous group, and an increasing body of research examines how multilinguals differ from one another and how these differences influence their development. We aim to bring together psychology and interdisciplinary researchers who have adopted this perspective and are working toward a more realistic vie

Calls: Workshop at 22nd International Morphology Meeting: Phonomorphology at the Interface: Autonomy, Modularity, and Opaqueness in Word Formation
Convenor: Michela Russo (CNRS SFL UMR 7023/U. Paris 8 & UJML 3, France)
Rationale:
The interaction between phonology and morphology has been at the heart of generative and post-generative linguistics since the inception of both fields. Despite recurring claims about the autonomy of morphology (Aronoff 1994; see also discussion in Booij 2018) and the modularity of phonology (Kiparsky 1982, 1985; Zwicky & Pullum (1986; Scheer 2012), recent work across language families shows that many morpholo
