Morfologiedagen — Morphology Days in the Low Countries

De Morfologiedagen / Morphology Days in the Low Countries will take place online via Teams on April 22 and 23, 2021.

This year’s edition of Morfologiedagen/Morphology Days in the Low Countries hosts a range of papers on morphology in various languages ranging from Dutch and Afrikaans to Wao Tededo, as well as a special workshop on Gender and Morphology.

The workshop on Gender and Morphology focuses on two different aspects:

• Gender and derivational (word formation) processes: explicitly female words for societal functions and roles. The theme includes sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic points of view.
• Gender and agreement phenomena (morpho-syntax-semantics-discourse): matching and/or mismatches between grammatical and natural gender reflected in determiner choice, pronouns of various types, referential dependencies and discourse anaphors (among others). The topic includes contributions on dialectal, regional and/or historical variation.

The programme and the abstracts can be found in the menu above.
