EMSS London 2014

The 1st EMSS Workshop

The rich array of morphosyntactic diversity specific to the South Slavic language area has long passed unnoticed, as it was nearly exclusively studied under the dialectal tradition. The combinatorial possibilities both within and across speakers in this area have only recently been recognised and theoretically captured thanks to the psycholinguistic study on Conjunct Agreement in Slovenian developed in Marušič et al. (2015). This psycholinguistic approach to variability in number and gender agreement, has proven to be a useful tool in charting the morphosyntax of these languages.  

The London 2014 Workshop of the EMSS project partners envision bringing together specialists on South Slavic languages in a discussion on how to utilize the psycholinguistic tools to study the languages of this area, how to enhance the psycholinguistic investigation of South Slavic languages and how to further the existing theoretical grounds based on the collected data. 

The Program features a masterclass on Dual and an invited lectures on Psycholinguistic/Experimental investigations of Coordination and Conjunct Agreement.
