Language universals: why are pharyngeal sounds present in only 1% of languages surveyed in the UPSID data base when they are present in children's early vocalisations? How have these sounds evolved in languages that have lost the pharyngeal distinctions? Is there a relationship between a dense consonantal system and the existence of pharyngeal/pharyngealised sounds in a language?<br><br>2. Production and perception: what are the acoustic, articulatory, and perceptual correlates of pharyngeal and pharyngealised sounds? What role do visual cues (e.g. lip rounding) play in processing pharyngeal articulations?<br><br>3. The sociolinguistic indices of pharyngeal/pharyngealised articulations: How does pharyngealisation manifest itself in different languages/dialects? Is the gender-correlated patterning that has been documented in urban areas in the Arab world with respect to de-emphasis found in other varieties/languages with pharyngeal/pharyngealised articulations? How are pharyngeal articulations affected in language contact situations?<br><br>4. Acquisition: at what age are pharyngeal and pharyngealised sounds acquired and what are the developmental manifestations across languages and/or dialects?<br><br><br>Organization committee:<br><br>Jalal Al-Tamimi, CRiLLS, Newcastle University (UK)<br>Mohamed Embarki, Praxiling UMR 5267 CNRS-Montpellier III (France)<br>Ghada Khattab, CRiLLS, Newcastle University (UK)<br>Hussain Kriba, CRiLLS, Newcastle University (UK)<br><br>Workshop style:<br>The workshop consists of invited oral presentations and a poster session.
