MoMOT @ UofT

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!
