Meeting Description:

Sequencing in Phonology

While in a word pair like English dog and god the order of segments or
features seems to be contrastive, it is also determined by syllable
phonotactic constraints. In English, the segment sequences ogd, odg,
dgo and gdo are ungrammatical. Rigid ordering restrictions also make
the linear order of attested consonant sequences predictable and
therefore redundant, as for instance word-initial obstruent-sonorant
sequences are attested in many languages in which sonorant-obstruent
sequences are illicit. Sibilants tend to be at the outer margin in
word-initial consonant clusters. The same predictable sequencing is
observed at the subsegmental level. The frication always follows the
closure in affricates. Nasalization or aspiration of stops is realized
as preceding or following the closure depending on position. I.e.,
stops are prenasalized in syllable onsets and postnasalized in
syllable codas, while the reverse is observed for aspiration. Thus,
inside segments there are no precedence relations among features.
Given these and related observations the question arises whether
linear order of segments is necessary at all or. Are segments
indispensable to account for phonological linearization? The theory of
the syllable and Sonority Sequencing in tandem neatly account for many
if not most aspects of segment ordering, but are they necessary,
sufficient, explanatory? What are the alternatives?

Call for Papers:

Abstracts
We are soliciting abstracts for 30-minute presentations or posters on
the above issues. Your abstract should not exceed one A-4 page (2.5cm
margins, 12 point font, single line spacing, plus one page for data,
diagrams, or references). Please indicate in the abstract if you
prefer to give a poster or a talk, and if you will be able to present
the paper in person in Tromsø. While the workshop is intended
primarily as a physical event in Tromsø, we are open to including some
online talks.

We are looking forward to receiving your abstract as a pdf attachment
sent to sequencing.in.phonology at gmail.com on or before September 01
2023.
