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

SUMMARY Alexis Michaud's Tone in Yongning Na: Lexical tones and morphotonology first appeared in 2017 and has since become a key reference for the description of the tone system of Yongning Na (Mosuo), a Tibeto-Burman language of Southwest China. This second edition (2025) retains the core of the original — based on a decade of fieldwork (2006–2016), a systematic treatment of lexical tones and morphotonological patterns, and an autosegmental analytical framework — while incorporating several

Focus: Driven by the rapid expansion of large-scale data ecosystems and Large Language Models (LLMs), research across the humanities and social sciences is undergoing a significant transformation. Traditional disciplines, including linguistics, literature, history, and philology, are increasingly adopting computational technologies to develop innovative, data-driven methodologies. Central to this methodological shift is the development of reliable data infrastructure built upon well-annotated
