Do different facets of phonology row together?

About This Event

The workshop will be 1 ½ days, spanning Friday and Saturday. On Friday afternoon, Dr. Tamminga will lead a workshop on using corpus methods to address issues of phonological representation. On Saturday, we will have a series of talks (both invited and selected through abstract submissions), focused on the issue of whether different facets of phonology should be treated as isochronous, or driven by distinct mechanisms. While facets of phonology are assumed to be uniform in generative phonology, they often behave in distinct ways, such as the presence of a clear phonetic motivation, regularity, productivity, scope, and gradience. This suggests that uniformity of patterning is only a subset of the possible outcomes.

The RSVP form will open in mid-September.
