DESCRIPTION:Outline\nWhat is morphology? Theoretical linguistics meets comp
 utational modelling. Morphology is conceived as the\nstudy of word structu
 re\, which traditionally has involved the postulation of structural units 
 together with\nmechanisms that manipulate and combine these units. This ca
 tegorical view of morphology has recently been\nchallenged by gradient app
 roaches\, in which what is generally called ‘morphological structure’ 
 emerges from\ngradient associations of form and meaning in language use an
 d language acquistion.\nIn this presentation\, we will take a closer and m
 ore general look at the mapping form and meaning in words\nand develop an 
 alternative to the traditional ways of treating morphology as the combinat
 ion of structural pieces\nbelow the word-level: Morphology is not about th
 e structure of complex words\, it is about complex relations\nof form and 
 meaning in the mental lexicon. We will discuss computational models that i
 mplement this view\,\nand which can be used to test predictions of this le
 xicon-based and usage-based view of morphology.
