Meeting Description:

A large body of work has documented cross-linguistic prosodic variation in
monolingual speech communities. Work on prosodic variation due to contact of
two or more languages frequently focuses on the individual, e.g. bilingual
prosody and L2 acquisition. However, contact phenomena also occur at the
collective level of interaction, i.e. within multilingual communities. Given
these are, and have historically been, arguably more numerous than monolingual
communities, the impact of multilingualism on prosodic variation is of high
theoretical importance. For example, contact-induced variation may challenge
the suitability of traditionally applied categories, and the complex interplay
of factors in multilingual communities poses questions about methodological
approaches and typology. Diachronically, there are questions as to how
prosodic effects of contact evolve and whether and how fast these are
attrited.

This workshop is a satellite event to Phonetics and Phonology in Europe (PaPE)
2021 and provides a platform for the growing community of researchers studying
prosody in contact to share findings, discuss methodological issues, and
debate the theoretical implications of their work. There will be oral
presentations, covering both synchronic and diachronic aspects of prosody in
contact, anchored around keynote papers from invited speakers and framework
discussion. Abstracts for papers are invited on all aspects of prosody in
contact languages, including pitch-related, temporal and spectral phenomena,
and on all language varieties, including those spoken by diaspora communities.
All abstracts will undergo a blind review process.

Invited speaker: 
Professor Carlos Gussenhoven (Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands;
National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan)

Venue: Pompeu Fabra University / Poblenou Campus, Barcelona, Spain
