MorphOn history

The following two quotes provided the inspiration for the 'MorphOn' project:

 

Morphologists, like specialists in any other academic field, form a community. More than most other linguistic communities, though, morphologists are open to discussion across a wide range of points of view. Maybe that is simply because there are so few of us that fashion and exclusion do not serve the same social purpose as in larger societies, like researchers in syntax or phonology.
Mark Aronoff

Morphology is at the conceptual centre of linguistics . This is not because it is the dominant subdiscipline, but because morphology is the study of word structure, and words are at the interface between phonology, syntax and semantics[…] There is a less enviable aspect to this centrality. Morphology has been called ‘ the Poland of linguistics’ – at the mercy of imperialistically minded neighbours (phonology and syntax) .
