Meeting Description:

Convenors:

Heinz Giegerich (University of Edinburgh) and Rosalía Rodríguez-Vázquez
(University of Vigo).

The 7th Biennial International Conference on the Linguistics of Contemporary
English, BICLCE 2017 (https://biclce2017.wordpress.com/), which will be held
at the University of Vigo on 28-30 September 2017, will be hosting a Phonology
Workshop entitled 'SPE turns 50'.

2018 will see the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of The Sound Pattern
of English (Harper & Row, 1968), Chomsky and Halle’s foundational work on the
phonology of English.

In its day, SPE helped revolutionise linguistic theory far beyond phonology
itself and it changed phonological thinking beyond recognition. Fifty years
on, the theory presented there is still judged as valid by some phonologists
and as at a hugely important milestone towards current theorising by most.
Most subsequent work in phonology has referred directly or indirectly to SPE,
which remains inescapable reading for any serious phonologist.

It is the aim of this workshop to assess the contribution SPE has made to, and
the impact it has had on, current thinking in phonology and neighbouring
sub-disciplines of linguistics.


2nd Call for Papers:

The workshop will consist of full papers and work-in progress reports, which
will be allotted 20 minutes for presentation (plus 10 minutes for discussion).
The deadline for submissions of abstracts (ca. 500 words excluding title,
references and keywords) is 31 January 2017. 

Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by the end of March 2017.
Abstracts should be sent to biclce.phonology.workshop at gmail.com 

We are planning to publish the papers after peer-review process in a special
issue of a reputable journal.
