Convenor: Michela Russo (CNRS SFL UMR 7023/U. Paris 8 & UJML 3, France) Rationale: The interaction between phonology and morphology has been at the heart of generative and post-generative linguistics since the inception of both fields. Despite recurring claims about the autonomy of morphology (Aronoff 1994; see also discussion in Booij 2018) and the modularity of phonology (Kiparsky 1982, 1985; Zwicky & Pullum (1986; Scheer 2012), recent work across language families shows that many morpholo

This book is the first to explore the properties of words across languages that correspond to English 'other'. When can Italian altro mean ‘different’ or ‘additional’? And why do these meanings often lexicalize together? How can we explain that cross-linguistically, such words may also mean ‘second’ or ‘remainder’? This book brings together data from multiple language families including Eskaleut, Finno-Ugric, Germanic, and Romance, to address these questions. It presents analytic, typological, c
