Complexity approaches, developed in physics and biology for almost two

decades, show today a huge potential for investigating challenging

issues in Humanities and Cognitive Sciences and obviously in the study

of language(s). Theoretical approaches that integrate

self-organization, emergence, non linearity, adaptive systems,

information theory, etc., have already been developed to provide a

unifying framework that sheds new light on the duality between

linguistic diversity on the one hand and unique cognitive capacity of

language processing on the other hand. Nevertheless, most of the

linguistics literature written in this framework focuses on the

syntactic level addressed through computational complexity or

performance optimization, while other linguistic components have been

somewhat neglected.<br>

In this context, the proposed volume draws on an

interdisciplinary sketch of the phonetics-phonology interface in the

light of complexity. Composed of several first-order contributions, it

will consequently be a significant landmark at the time of the rise of

several projects linking complexity and linguistics around the world.<br>
