Linguistic Field(s): Phonetics; Phonology 

Meeting Description: 

Describing the sounds of language has always been a central concern of both
linguistic phonetics and theoretical phonology. The central tension between
informational abstraction and phonetic concreteness is resolved in ways that
differ based partly on one’s theoretical aims. In some cases phonologists use
continuously valued representations to derive categorical effects, while in
other cases phonologists use categorical representations to derive gradient
effects. Phoneticians, psycholinguists and neuroscientists are also concerned
with whether representations that are useful in describing the information
structure of language sound systems are also useful in capturing facts about
the cognitive implementation of phonology.

Workshop participants will represent several different attitudes toward these
questions, and one of the goals of the workshop is to discuss whether these
different aims are fundamentally incompatible, or whether we can we find a
system of description that is successful in both accounting for information
structure and for the cognition of language use.  

Confirmed speakers include Bruce Hayes (UCLA), Stephanie Shih (USC), Kevin
Ryan (Harvard), and Katie Drager (Hawaii).  

A full call for papers will be published in Sept. 2019.
