Morphological complexity: Typology as a tool for delineating cognitive organization
Workshop on the Growth and Decline of Morphological Complexity
The Surrey Morphology Group held a one-day workshop on the diachrony of morphological complexity, hosted by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, in Leipzig (Germany) on Saturday, 28 April 2012. The workshop immediately followed the Anna Siewierska Memorial workshop on 27 April 2012 in the same location.
