This volume contains a selection of the papers presented
at the 7th Décembrettes, an international conference on
linguistic morphology held at the University of Toulouse –
Le Mirail on December 2-3, 2010. Since 2002, the
Décembrettes have brought specialists of morphology to
Southwestern France on a biannual basis, and have become one of
the major conferences for scholars in this discipline. Over the
years particular attention has been paid to the relationship of
morphology to other disciplines, including linguistic typology,
computational linguistics, psycholinguistics and
neurolinguistics. Overall, twenty-six talks and posters were
presented at this seventh edition, reflecting the variety of
approaches and methodologies to be found in present-day
morphology. The papers presented here propose studies of both
inflectional and derivational morphology drawing on data from a
wide range of typologically diverse languages. They propose
synchronic and diachronic analyses, combining theoretical and
empirical methods. They include empirical studies of large
amounts of data, theoretical discussions of fundamental issues,
typological and experimental studies.
