The acquisition of lexicon and morphology is traditionally considered to be different, insofar as the lexicon is identified seen as a storage of elements, whereas morphology is thought of as comprising both lists of elements and application rules. However, lexicon and grammar are also closely connected to each other in the acquisition process. Grammatical rules cannot be learned properly without a certain lexical basis.
Lexical spurts give birth to grammatical changes in the production of small children.
Our workshop aims at discussing problems of the interaction of lexicon with grammar.
