Form and Meaning
Nominal Word Formation and Derivational Semantics in Indo-European
University of Copenhagen / Online
Twenty years after the conference Indo-European Word Formation – Inventory and Analysis (October 20–22, 2000) the University of Copenhagen will again be the venue of an international convention devoted to morphology in Proto-Indo-European and the Indo-European languages.
The focus of the 2020 workshop will be on nominal word formation — both derivation and compounding — and the semantic properties that accompany these processes. The program covers a whole variety of topics including:
· Derivational Morphology in general
· Grammaticalization
· Case Studies of Proto-Indo-European Suffixes
· Case Studies of Proto-Indo-European Roots
· Nominal Stem Classes and/or Accent and Ablaut Classes
· ‘Caland Morphology’ and the Caland System
· Morphosemantics, Derivational Semantics
· Etymology
Due to COVID-19 the workshop will be held as an online conference. For security reasons the links to the sessions will only be sent to registered attendees.

"quaero enim uerbum utrum dicant uocem quae ex syllabis ficta, eam quam audimus, an quod ea significat, quam intellegimus, an utrumque."
Varro ling. 8.40
"For I ask whether by a 'word' they mean the spoken word which consists of syllables, that word which we hear,
or that which the spoken word indicates, which we understand, or both."
