Meeting Description:

Background:
In the last years, many of the most substantial insights into the
formal complexity of human languages have been based on grammatical
tone, i.e. the tonal and intonational reflexes of morphosyntactic
constructions. Thus morphological tone seems to be able to perform
otherwise undocumented counting operations (Marlo et al., 2015) and
intonation has been shown to resort to multiple recursive registers
without parallel in other phonological modalities (Truckenbrodt,
2002). In addition, grammatical tone provides the most transparent
cases where morphological and syntactic structure are directly
reflected in phonological substance (Inkelas 2014, McPherson and Heath
2016, Rolle 2018, Korsah and Murphy 2019) but also shows the most
dramatic mismatches between phonological and morphosyntactic domains
(Bonet et al. 2019, Zimmermann & Trommer 2015).
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from
diverse empirical and theoretical backgrounds to explore the range of
cross-linguistic grammatical tone phenomena documented so far, to
evaluate the explanatory value of theoretical proposals to account for
them and to contribute to the further development of formalisms for
the modeling of tone.

Call for Papers:

We invite abstract submissions for a workshop „Tone in Grammar“ that
will precede the main sessions of the OCP21:
- to be held in-person in Leipzig, Germany
- February 13, 2024
- Deadline for abstracts: September 15, 2023

We are delighted to announce the following invited speaker:

- 1in (2.54cm) margins on all sides
- The abstract must not reveal the identity of the author in any way
- PDF format

Abstracts not following these guidelines will be rejected without

We welcome submissions on both empirical or theoretical contributions
in the area of grammatical tone. We invite abstracts for 20-minute
talks, followed by 10 minutes of discussion. Everybody may submit
maximally two abstracts, only one of which may be single-authored.
Abstracts will be blindly peer-reviewed by an international panel of
reviewers.

Abstract submission, reviewing, and notification of acceptance will be
