Linguistic Field(s): Phonology 

Call Deadline: 23-Apr-2021 

Meeting Description:

The patterns of sounds of the world's languages are many and varied. Although
the human articulatory, auditory, and perceptual apparatus limits and shapes
the ways in which languages harness sound to convey meaning, considerable
diversity can be observed in phonological systems cross-linguistically. We
believe that this diversity matters and welcome submissions for a workshop
focused on rarities in phonology. 

Rare phenomena play a key role in forming and challenging linguistic theory.
In formal approaches, the identification of rare phenomena has been one of the
primary means of expanding and modifying the theoretical acquis. While
linguistic typology has often worked rather with larger cross linguistic
samples, a focus on rare phenomena has emerged since the beginning of this
millennium (Plank 2000; Simon & Wiese 2011; Wohlgemuth & Cysouw 2010a, 2010b;
Golovko et al. 2015).

Rarities can be ignored by linguistic theory, be reanalysed as regular, or be
incorporated by changing the theory (Simon & Wiese 2011). Within phonology, a
number of thematic studies taking the third approach have recently appeared,
addressing topics as diverse as vertical vowel systems (Anderson 2016),
voiceless sonorants (Blevins 2018) or obstruent devoicing (Blevins et al.
2020), non-canonical word prosody (Kuznetsova 2018), highly complex syllable
structure (Easterday 2019), and metathesis (Edwards 2019). This work can be
seen in the context of an expansion of research on the evolutionary aspects of
both universals and rarities, with attempts to explain typical pathways of
emergence or disappearance (e.g. Blevins 2004, 2015; Round 2019).


Second Call for Papers: 

We happy to inform you that the deadline for submissions to our workshop
''Phonological diversity matters: rarities in phonology'', to be held as part
of the Poznan Linguistic Meeting, September 16-19, in Poznan, Poland
(http://wa.amu.edu.pl/plm/2020/PLM2020_Thematic_sessions) was prolonged.

The new deadline is: April 23, 2021.

For now, the conference is still planned as an on-site event, but a virtual
option will be most likely also available.

For submission see: http://wa.amu.edu.pl/plm/2020/Abstract_submission
