LIN10: Language Sound Structures

Collaborative Goals

Given the typological diversity of languages’ sound structures, and ever-changing methodologies that drive their study, the group’s activities provide an opportunity for participants to explore topics and themes of contemporary interest. Events combine workshop-oriented training to develop new skills and opportunities for scholars to present their own research in progress on the workshop theme. Scholars gather to share progress on a diverse array of projects, thus highlighting the research of individuals at various stages of their careers, and accordingly increasing the visibility of the important work in phonetics and phonology being produced in the region. Workshops themselves are led by invited world-class scholars who share their methodological and theoretical advances on a selected topic. The group’s activities thus serve to enrich an already thriving intellectual community of scholars in phonetics and phonology among Corridor institutions and others nearby.
