Meeting Description:

Topic description and research questions:
At about the same time that the first ICGL was organised, Malikouti-Drachman
authored her 1994 and, later, her 2001 State-of-the-Art articles, where she
reviewed some important problems of Greek Phonology related to the lexical and
postlexical components of the grammar. From the lexical component she focused
on: (a) the so-called ‘three dreams of Householder’, that is, the
representation and phonological behavior of voiced stops, the
semi-vocalization, and the affrication problem that pertain to the question of
whether the palatal glide [j] and the affricates [ʦ ʣ] are underlying or not,
(b) issues of syllabification in Greek and several of its dialectal varieties,
(c) aspects of the acquisition of Greek syllables with emphasis on the
acquisition of onsets, (d) the prosodic principles that underline the
formation of hypocoristics, and (e) the representation and assignment of word
stress. From the post-lexical component, Malikouti discussed: (a) sandhi rules
that take place within and across smaller and larger prosodic constituents (b)
the type of prosodic constituents that exist above the phonological word, with
particular emphasis on the necessity for the clitic group, (c) the properties
of secondary/rhythmic stress postlexically (e.g., in clitic constructions and
in phonological phrases).

Today, after almost three decades of scholarly research, many of the
above-mentioned issues are still under investigation. Taking stock of the
past, it is time to consider how we move forward. This workshop, thus, aims at
bringing together scholars working on the phonology of Greek, its interfaces,
and its dialectal varieties. We invite contributions that address and offer
analyses and solutions to important problems of Greek phonology and its
interfaces, including but not limited to the ones listed above, as well as
contributions, that identify possible directions for future research which may
help us understand the phonology of Greek more fully. Work from any generative
theoretical framework (e.g., Autosegmental Phonology, Government Phonology,
Optimality Theory, Harmonic Grammar, Property Theory, Stratal-OT, etc.) is
welcome, as well as experimentally-oriented work, with strong theoretical
background and implications for phonological theory.
