Tagungsankündigung & Call for Papers: Fifth International Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology
The Fifth International Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology (DeriMo 2025) will be held at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, on September 4 and 5, 2025. The 2025 edition of the workshop will build upon the discussions initiated at DeriMo 2017 (Milan, Italy) on the development of language resources and tools in word-formation research, and subsequently continued at DeriMo 2019 (Prague, Czech Republic), DeriMo 2021 (Nancy, France), and DeriMo 2023 (Dubrovnik, Croatia).
DeriMo 2025 will provide an international platform for the presentation of advancements in existing word-formation resources and for the introduction of recently created ones. A debate is expected on all aspects of the creation of these resources, from technical solutions to linguistic decisions regarding the selection and representation of word-formation processes and complex words. DeriMo 2025 will also explore appropriate tools for resource development, empirical descriptions of derivational processes, and the potential use of word-formation data in Natural Language Processing (NLP).
Special attention will be given to how lexical resources can be exploited to investigate theoretical aspects of word formation, and conversely, how current linguistic accounts of word formation can inform the modelling of morphological processes in resources. Presentations of any type of linguistic research into word formation can contribute to the discussion on the use and usability of available resources and tools. Additionally, quantitative methods based on large datasets can help address key research questions in derivational morphology. Linguistic insights into the phenomena described in word-formation resources may indicate directions for future research, whether approached from language-specific, multilingual, cross-linguistic, or typological perspectives.
Plenary speakers: Sabine Arndt-Lappe (Universität Trier) and Magda Ševčíková (ÚFAL, Charles University, Prague)
