Thematic Issue:
'Theoretical approaches to grammatical tone'

Deadline extension: Friday, May 21st, 2021

Projected to appear as one of the first issues of Phonology 39 (2022).
NB: Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the editors have decided to extend the
deadline for submission to the Phonology thematic issue on 'theoretical
approaches to grammatical tone' to Friday, May 21st, 2021.

Tone has been instrumental in shaping phonological theory. However, the
contributions to current linguistic theory of 'grammatical tone' - a type of
nonconcatenative morphology where a morpheme is expressed in part by tonal
changes and operations (e.g. tone addition, deletion, replacement, spreading,
shifting, assimilation, dissimilation, etc.) - have been less apparent. The
goal of this thematic issue is to contribute to filling this gap, and to
facilitate advances in our understanding of grammatical tone and
(morpho)phonological theory in tandem.

Grammatical tone demonstrates a unique configuration of properties above and
beyond special features of tone more generally, including postlexical
cyclicity effects, non-local relations on the tonal tier, counting effects in
floating tone assignment, tone-based templatic effects in great regularity
across Africa (surpassing segmental templates à la Semitic and Yokuts), among
many others. Given that half the world's languages are tonal - with a huge
number in some of the least documented areas - we suspect phonological theory
still has a huge amount to gain by specifically engaging with grammatical
tone.

Submissions are invited which directly focus on grammatical tone and
phonological theory. We seek to include several tone-system types (e.g. from
'canonical' tone systems like Vietnamese to 'pitch-accent systems' like
Serbian or Japanese). Issues include (but are not limited to) the following:
- the representation of grammatical tone, and the question of grammatical tone
allomorphy
- interactions between grammatical tone and the phonological grammar
- interactions between grammatical tone and other prosodic units
- the derivation of grammatical tone
- types of (non-)locality effects with grammatical tone
- interface with phonetics
- interface with morphosyntax
- prosodic constituency
- the computational properties of grammatical tone

This thematic issue, which will be edited by Nicholas Rolle (Princeton
University), Florian Lionnet (Princeton University) and Laura McPherson
(Dartmouth College), is open to all potential contributors, and is projected
to appear as one of the first issues of Phonology 39 (2022).
The new deadline for submissions is Friday, May 21st, 2021. 

General information on the submission of manuscripts can be found in previous
issues of the journal, or on the Phonology website
(http://journals.cambridge.org/pho). 

For this issue, submissions should be sent in PDF format to
nrolle at princeton.edu, flionnet at princeton.edu, laura.e.mcpherson at dartmouth.edu,
c.j.ewen at hum.leidenuniv.nl. An abstract (no longer than 150 words) should be
included. Please begin the heading with 'Phonology thematic issue'.

Preference will be given to papers which will occupy no more than 20 printed
pages in the journal (around 8000 words). Submissions will be read by at least
two reviewers and by the editors of the thematic issue.
