Meeting Description:

Sixth North American Phonology Conference
(NAPhC 6)
Concordia University, Montreal
April 30-May 2, 2010
http://linguistics.concordia.ca/naphc6/

Theme: A celebration of the 51st anniversary of the publication of The Sound
Pattern of Russian.

A celebration of the 51st anniversary of the publication of Morris Halle's The
Sound Pattern of Russian (SPR). We invite papers (on any and all languages--not
just Russian!) that address issues raised by the conditions on phonological
theory proposed in SPR. 

2nd Call for Papers

Morris Halle's (1959) The Sound Pattern of Russian (SPR) proposes 6 formal
conditions that a phonological theory should fulfill, paraphrased as follows:

Condition 1: Phonological representations consist of segments and boundaries.

Condition 2: The phonetic properties of segments are characterized by a set of
binary distinctive features.

Condition 3: A phonological description of a language must provide a
deterministic algorithm for mapping from an input  representation (containing
only phonological information) to an output representation.

Condition 4: The phonology must interface with other modules of grammar, such as
syntax.

Condition 5: In phonological representations the number of specified features is
consistently reduced to a minimum compatible with satisfying Conditions (3) and (4).

Condition 6: Morphological boundaries have to be eliminated or converted by the
phonology.

These six conditions serve as the theme of this year's NAPhC. We invite papers
(on any and all languages-not just Russian!) that address issues raised by these
conditions and other aspects of SPR. Are these conditions met by current models?
Has their acceptance or rejection been sufficiently justified? For example, do
Halle's arguments for binarity still hold? Are other arguments available for
binarity? Have models that evaluate alignment of, say, syllables and morphemes
justified the rejection of Condition 6?

Please submit an anonymous 2 page abstract in pdf format to submissions by March
26, 2010. Authors of accepted papers will be notified on March 29, 2010.

Invited Speakers:
Lee Bickmore (SUNY Albany)
Daniel Currie Hall (Meertens Instituut)

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

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.
