Workshop on Computational Phonology and Morphology

Saturday, July 11, 2015

At the LSA Summer Institute at the University of Chicago


## DESCRIPTION

Among the key questions in phonology and morphology are those that revolve
around representation, distribution, learning, typology, variation, and
change. Recent years have witnessed an increased interest in computational
approaches (broadly construed, encompassing all species of formal,
algorithmic, and quantitative methods) to phonology and morphology. How
have they contributed to our understanding of language, particularly with
regard to the domains of phonology and morphology? What are the unsolved
issues in phonology and morphology on which computational approaches may
shed light? Along the theme of big data of the 2015 LSA Summer Institute at
the University of Chicago, how does---or not---the availability of larger
and more accessible data alter the landscape of research among phonologists
and morphologists, and what are the (new) challenges in light of big data?

The Workshop on Computational Phonology and Morphology, to be held on
Saturday July 11, 2015, at the LSA Summer Institute at the University of
Chicago, is devoted to these topics and questions of general interest to
linguists, featuring invited talks by Institute instructors whose research
concerns phonology and morphology from computational perspectives.
