Call Deadline: 31-Oct-2015 

Meeting Description:

The CUNY Phonology Forum is an annual graduate student-run conference at The Graduate Center, CUNY in New York City. Each year, the conference focuses on a different aspect of phonology, showcasing new experimental and theoretical approaches to the topic. The theme of PhonoForum 2016 is sonority.

Call for Papers:

Sonority is thought to play a central role in the organization of segments into syllables, and more specifically, to determine the nature of syllable-internal consonant clusters, possible coda segments, syllabic consonants, glide-vowel alternations, epenthesis sites, tone-bearing units, and even, in some languages, sonority-based stress patterns. Investigations into sonority have focused on its role in synchronic grammar, its status as universal and innate, and whether the full sonority scale reflects a single phonetic correlate. The topic has received much attention from both theoretical and laboratory phonologists, and this forum seeks to showcase work from both approaches.

We invite papers from any subdivision of cognitive science such as formal linguistics, language acquisition, neurolinguistics, phonetics, philosophy, psychology, etc. We also encourage diversity in methods so we welcome both formal and experimental approaches to the topic of sonority.

Submission Guidelines:

We invite both oral presentations and posters. Abstracts should consist of a one-page description of the paper (12pt font) with a second page for references, data and/or illustrations; please specify if you wish to submit for a poster, an oral presentation, or are fine with either. Talks will be 20 minutes with 10 minutes for discussion.

Abstracts should be anonymous, on one A4/letter page (12 pt. font) with a second page for references, data and/or illustrations. Abstracts should be emailed as a .pdf attachment to phonoforum at gmail.com no later than 23:59 EDT on 31 October 2015.

Important Dates: 

31 October 2015 – deadline for abstract submission
1 December 2015 – notification of acceptance
14-15 January 2016 – Conference on Sonority
