This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in the syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of constructions with multiple WH-words across languages. Such constructions involve two or more WH-elements that typically distribute over different arguments or functions, rather than forming collective units (cf. Moravcsik 1978;
PHEX 18 is the fifth (online) workshop of our research project 鈥淭he Mapping from Syntax to Phonology: Theory, Typology and History,鈥欌�� which is a continuation of our project 鈥淧honological Externalization of Morphosyntactic Structure: Universals and Variables'' (2015-2020). Following the success of the previous workshops in Sapporo, Niigata, Tokyo and Lexington, KY, we are glad to invite abstracts for presentation about the morphosyntax-phonology interface.
Possible topics include:

This is the first workshop on Logical Phonology (LP), a inimalist, substance-free theory of phonology which makes limited ontological commitments. It uses set-theoretic representations and a rule interpretation procedure based on subsumption. LP provides a precise definition of possible phonological rules, and thus of possible (i.e., computable) phonological grammars. LP derives locality and long-distance phonological effects using a unified search procedure. LP rejects the stipulation that segm

Final Call for Papers:
The term 鈥渕icromorphology鈥� was coined by Stump 2017b for the hypothesis that an affix can itself be morphologically complex. Variations of this hypothesis and its uses have been investigated by Bochner 1993, Soukka 2000, Lu铆s and Spencer 2005, and Stump 2017a, b, 2023, among others. The relevant phenomenon is illustrated for derivational suffixes in (1), see Stump 2017b for the demonstration that (1) involves a complex suffix rather than iterative addition.
