Meeting Description:
We are excited to announce the interdisciplinary workshop Understanding Sound
Change that will be part of the Old World Conference on Phonology (OCP2022).
This workshop aims to bring together researchers from different linguistic
subdisciplines and theoretical perspectives with an interest in an
interdisciplinary approach to the study of sound change, following recent
trends that have proven fruitful in the study of the historical phonologies of
many linguistic families.
We invite proposals for 20-minute talks that explore specific topics in the
study of sound change from any or multiple of the following (or related)
subfields of linguistics: Historical linguistics; phonology; philology;
phonetics; typology; sociolinguistics; corpus linguistics, etc.
The workshop will feature selected short talks as well as two keynote speakers
- morning and afternoon. Selected posters will be included in the main poster
session. We are planning for a hybrid conference: presentations are planned to
be in person - but we will be streaming all lectures live and collecting
questions in real time.
The study of sound change has long been at the center of historical phonology
and historical linguistics more generally, with regular sound correspondences
due to regular sound change serving as the basis of lexical reconstruction of
proto-languages spoken thousands of years ago. During the last 40 years, a
nuanced theory of sound change based on articulatory, aerodynamic, and
acoustic properties of speech has evolved from a great deal of
interdisciplinary research, inspired by the research agenda of Ohala (see, for
example, Ohala 2003), and has played a central role in the explanation of
synchronic sound patterns as well (Blevins 2004, 2015). The possibility of
applying recent analyses of linguistic change to problems in which the
classical approach yielded limited results is one of the reasons behind this
resurgence (Honeybone & Salmons 2015). These new interdisciplinary approaches
include phonetic analyses of spoken data and laboratory experimentation (Yu
2015; Harrington et al. 2019 and references therein), the study of the
influence of language contact and social and population factors in its
geographic spread (Labov 1994; Trudgill 2011), as well as continued
typological comparison between similar sound patterns found in unrelated
languages (Kümmel 2015). Innovations in these interdisciplinary approaches
have illuminated multiple aspects of sound change, including:
- The inception of sound change
- Bias factors that condition sound change
- Accommodation and imitation
- Trading relationships between phonetic cues
- The production-perception feedback loop (e.g. compensation for
coarticulation)
- The medium-term dynamics of sound change (and sound change in isolation)
- The longitudinal study of variation and change across the lifespan
- The implementation of the apparent time construct
- Sound change typology (sound change and phonological inventories, segment
patterning)
- Rare or previously unattested sound changes and sound patterns
- The influence of linguistic contact in sound change
- Replication of reconstructed sound changes under laboratory conditions
- Exemplar-based approaches to phonology and sound change
- The development of new methods to simulate change (e.g. agent-base
modelling)
This workshop aims to bring together researchers from different linguistic
subdisciplines and theoretical perspectives with an interest in
interdisciplinary approaches to the study of sound change. These include
studies of phonetic, phonological and other structural factors playing a role
in sound change, and external approaches such as computational modeling of
change, probabilistic evaluation of change, theories of language contact and
the role of sociolinguistic variables in determining the course of sound
change.
2nd Call for Papers:
We invite abstracts (to be presented as 20-minute talks or posters) that
explore topics in the study of sound change from one or more subfields of
linguistics, or related disciplines. Although submissions dealing with sound
changes in any language are welcome, abstracts presenting data or dealing with
case studies of lesser studied languages and language varieties are especially
encouraged.
Each individual may submit a maximum of one abstract as first author (or sole
author), and a maximum of two abstracts in total. Abstracts will be blindly
peer-reviewed by an international panel of reviewers.
Abstract Guidelines:
Must be written in English
Maximum 2 pages of A4 paper, including references, examples, tables, and
figures
12 pt Times New Roman font
2.54 cm (one inch) margins on all sides
Anonymous
PDF format
Abstracts not following these guidelines will not be reviewed.
Abstract submission, reviewing, and notification of acceptance will be handled
using Easy Chair. Please upload your abstract following this link:

NEW DEADLINE: November 1, 2021
Convenor: Ander Egurtzegi (CNRS-IKER)
Invited speakers:
Juliette Blevins (The Graduate Center, CUNY)
Stefano Coretta (IPS-LMU Munich)
