Title: Assessing the paradigmatic similarity of word-formation systems
Abstract:
The main goal of this study is to examine the morphological similarity between the word- formation systems of related languages. It does so by analysing the paradigmatic organization of these systems in order to address how the characteristics of various members within a single morphological family influence word formation. Furthermore, it aims to determine the degree of similarity present among the related language systems.
Working on over 1000 Ukrainian, Russian and Polish morphological families (including verbs and action nouns), we uncover similarity patterns between system-level properties across systems. We show how verbal prefixes condition choices among rival processes in the formation of action nouns and to what extent the languages in question differ in this respect.

Title : Iterativity, Event Structure, and Auxiliary Constructions
Abstract : Iterativity, as an aspectual category, denotes the repetition of an
event. Across languages, this notion is expressed through a range of
morphosyntactic strategies, including affixation, reduplication,
periphrastic constructions, and auxiliary verbs. While other aspectual
categories—such as progressive, durative, and imperfective—have been
extensively studied, the origins and evolution of iterative
auxiliaries remain an understudied area.
This talk will explore how iterativity is encoded
cross-linguistically, first presenting an overview of iterative
marking strategies across languages and highlighting broader
typological patterns. Building on this, I will then narrow the focus
to two key questions concerning iterative auxiliaries: (i) To what
extent is iterativity determined by the auxiliary itself, the main
verb, or their interaction? (ii) What structural and semantic
properties make certain verbs more likely to grammaticalize as
iterative auxiliaries? To address these questions, I will provide a
preliminary analysis of the auxiliaries 'keep' in English and 'ficar'
in Brazilian Portuguese, examining their role in event structure and
their contribution to aspectual interpretation.
