In this workshop, we aim to exploit complementary evidence from two very different types of multi-word expressions (noun compounds and particle verbs) to shed light on the interaction of constituent properties and compound transparency. We invite research contributions across languages and across research disciplines to provide a cross-linguistic perspective integrating linguistic, psycholinguistic, corpus-based and computational studies.

Relevant aspects include (but are not restricted to)

• investigations on the role of constituent ambiguity;
• conditions for analogies and meaning shifts;
• the age at which children are affected by constituent transparency;
• evidence from neologisms; and
• empirical constituent properties (e.g. frequency and productivity).

Abstracts may consist of up to 500 words (max. 1 page), plus additional material such as tables, figures and references on a second page. An extra page should list all authors and their affiliations.

Abstracts should be submitted as PDF via EasyChair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dgfsmwe17.

The deadline for submissions is September 1, 2016.



Style files:

Camera-ready versions of the abstract must conform to the official LaTeX style files (preferred) or Word style files.

We recommend to use the style files also for abstract submission.
