Call for Papers

The study of competing motivations has been paramount in various areas of recent
research, such as in language typology (e.g. Optimality Theory) and
psycholinguistics (cf. the Competition Model of Bates and MacWhinney (1989)). 

We invite papers on the role of competing motivations in the emergence and use
of linguistic structures from both linguists and psychologists, as well as from
others working in related fields. Topics to be explored include but are not
limited to the following:
- application of the competing motivation approach to individual languages and
crosslinguistically
- application of competition models in psycholinguistic research (both
comprehension and production)
- theoretical issues:
What motivations are at work in given domains?
What evidence is there for the existence and weighting of the competing constraints?
What factors determine the weightings of the constraints?
How are competing motivations manifested synchronically and diachronically? (Cf.
for example Haspelmath (1999) on 'diachronic adaptation' and Blevins (2004)'
'evolutionary phonology'.)

Format:
Submissions should be by e-mail, with the author's name and affiliation
