Meeting Description:

The goal of the PhonolEEGy conference is to intersect experimental research
based on EEG / MEG with phonological theory. While EEG / MEG-based research
concerning linguistically relevant sound and its patterning (phonology) is
growing, work that explicitly addresses phonological theory is still
relatively limited. The conference aims at promoting EEG / MEG-based
experimental evidence as it informs phonological theory in order to grow the
intersection of these fields.

The conference will take the form of a two-day meeting where stabilized or
fresh-from-the-lab results are presented, also with room for discussing
methodology, experiment design and emerging projects. Contributors are invited
to present not only their data and interpretation, but also the bigger picture
of how they view phonology in a linguistic context and the role of
neurophysiological evidence in phonological theory.

Most existing work that brings EEG / MEG-based evidence to bear on
phonological theory is based on (asymmetric) MMN and the idea that varying
standards in MMN stimulus presentation allows us to elicit phonological
(rather than phonetic) categories that MMN will reflect (Phillips et al.
2000). While this has proven to be a fruitful experimental setting,
contributions using experimental protocols different from (asymmetric) MMN are
especially invited, as are those using production data, which are also
underrepresented in the field. EEG / MEG-based work also addresses aspects of
phonology that are not directly relevant to phonological theory such as the
transformation of the continuous acoustic signal into discrete phonological
categories that are manipulated by the cognitive system, perception and
production routines in phonological or auditory processing, neural encoding
and localization of phonological items in the brain (such as segments,
alternations or markedness), preattentive or sublexical speech processing,
processing of different types of phonological items (well- vs. ill-formed,
phonemic vs. allophonic), or the kind of information stored in a phoneme
(phonetic vs. more abstract). This research often pursues goals that do not
speak to issues in phonological theory per se, but which are actually
relevant. Contributions in this area are invited to make explicit in which way
their experimental evidence or results impact phonological theory. Finally,
contributions are also invited which do not involve genuine neurophysiological
data but rather link existing EEG / MEG-based evidence with phonological
theory.

After its initial venue in Nice / France in Fall 2020, the second installment
of the PhonolEEGy conference comes in the guise of a satellite event during
the Linguistic Society of America’s (LSA) 2023 Summer Institute, held at
UMASS/Amherst. In this context, we are specifically encouraging undergraduate
and graduate student attendees at the LSA institute to participate as audience
and presenters.


Call for Papers:

We invite submissions that address issues in phonology and phonological theory
based on evidence from EEG / MEG. Work in EEG / MEG may pursue goals that do
not directly speak to issues in phonological theory, but which are actually
relevant for this area. Thus contributions are invited to make explicit in
which way their experimental evidence or results impact phonological theory.
Submissions are also invited which do not involve genuine neurophysiological
data but rather link existing EEG / MEG-based evidence with phonological
theory.

Please submit anonymous abstracts that do not exceed 700 words (one inch
margin, Arial 11pt or Times Roman 12pt font), figures and references may be
included on an extra page.
