Meeting Description:

PLM2010's thematic session on competing explanations in phonology. See our Call
for Papers for details. 

In line with PLM 2010's theme ''Competitive Explanations in Linguistics: In
Search of a Framework'', we are organising a thematic session on competing
explanations in phonology. The session will bring together discussants from
different perspectives, frameworks, and methodologies in an attempt to clarify
ways in which distinct approaches complement each other, overlap in coverage,
and/or make different empirical predictions. All relevant abstracts will be
considered, but we especially welcome presentations that deal with the theme set
out in the plenary talk by Juliette Blevins ''Advances in Evolutionary
Phonology: Holistic Explanations for Rare and Common Sound Patterns'' as well as
the following related topics:

- Predictive power of competing models
- Emergent vs. universal properties
- Explanatory vs. descriptive adequacy
- Evidence in phonology
- New evidence: simulation studies
- New evidence: artificial grammar studies
- New evidence: laboratory phonology
- Bridging the synchrony/diachrony divide; panchronic approaches
- Bridging the categorical/gradual divide; exemplar approaches
- Explanation in phonological acquisition, L1 transfer, and borrowing
- The role of computational models in phonological explanation
- The role of typology in phonological explanation

The session will begin with the plenary of the day, followed by six oral
presentations.

Abstracts are to be submitted according to the general guidelines for PLM 2010.
When submitting the abstract via Linguist List's EasyAbs system, please make
sure you select ''Phonology (discussion session)'' in the ''Abstract
Classification 1'' field. The deadline is 31 March 2010.

Conveners: 

Katarzyna Dziubalska-Ko?aczyk

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
