Last weekend UofT hosted the 7th annual Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto Morphology Meeting (MoMOT). This meeting was organized by members of the Department of Linguistics and the Department of Spanish & Portuguese. The two-day event welcomed some new and familiar faces as they presented their work on a range of topics in morphology.
The keynote speakers this year were:
Ivana Kučerová (McMaster) who presented her work on The syntax of gender features: The morphologist’s guide to feature-bundling traps
and
James Crippen (McGill) who presented his work entitled Verb morphology in Tlingit is ordinary syntax
Other presenters included both current and former UofT students (see list of presenters below). Be sure to ask them about their work when you see them!
Martin Renard (PhD Student). Two Types of Noun Incorporation in Kanien’kéha: A Categorization Analysis
Samuel Jambrović (PhD Candidate). Capturing the third-person gap in Spanish pronoun-noun constructions
Will Oxford (Alumni). When a 1 > 2 hierarchy is actually a 2 > 1 hierarchy
Patrick Kinschular (Undergrad). Morphological Alternation in Kinyarwanda External Possession Constructions
Liam Donohue (PhD Candidate). Perfect Readings in the Absence of Perfect Morphology
Big thanks to the organizers, volunteers, presenters, and attendees for making this meeting a success!
