Meeting Description:

The workshop Word Order and Prosody is organized as part of Speech Prosody
2020.


Call for Papers:

The ‘classical’ models of the architecture of grammar conceive prosody as a
mere interpretive component of the output of syntax, or a level of
phonological representation (cf. Pierrehumbert 1980, Selkirk 1981, 1984,
Chomsky 1995).

However, recent proposals are assuming a more active role of prosody as not
only an interpreter of its input, but as an active component affecting aspects
of the grammar that are traditionally attributed to the syntactic component.
In particular, some word order-affecting phenomena have been claimed to be
rooted in the PF component: focus and nuclear stress are characterized as
triggers for different word orders in ‘discourse configurational languages’
(Zubizarreta 1998, Reinhart 2006), prosodic phrasing restrictions are claimed
to be driving the choice of interrogatives strategies across languages
(Richards 2010, Mathieu 2015), prosodic optimality restrictions could also be
affecting the position an element will be spelled out in, explaining
clitic-placement, verb-second effects etc. (Bošković 2001, 2018, Nunes 2004,
Speyer 2010, Holmberg, Sakhai & Tamm 2019), or they could even play a role in
development, biasing choices of word order, as in the prosodic bootstrapping
hypothesis (Mehler et al. 1988, Christophe et al. 2003, Bernard & Gervain
2012).

This workshop sets out to further explore the role and function of prosody
within the general architecture of language. Thus, we invite papers revealing
the role it plays in the determination of word order in constructions such as
focalizations, interrogatives, verb-fronting strategies such as V2,
verb-object/object-verb alternations, compounding, etc. We also welcome
experimental contributions on the role prosody plays in acquisition (the
prosodic bootstrapping hypothesis), and language variability and change. 

Submissions should follow the INTERSPEECH 2019 guidelines. 
The number of pages is up to 4 for text with an additional page only for
references.
