Meeting Description:

'r-atics 5, The Fifth International Workshop on Phonetic, Phonological, Acquisitional, Aociolinguistic and Dialect-Geographic Aspects of Rhotics, will be hosted from 18-20 May 2015 at the Fryske Akademy in Leeuwarden/Ljouwert, The Netherlands.  Previous ‘r-atics symposia were organised in Nijmegen (2000), Brussels (2002), Bozen/Bolzano (2011) and Grenoble (2013). The workshop brings together scholars from different linguistic disciplines researching various aspects of rhotics in a wide range of languages. Studies addressing rhotics often have similar goals and produce mutually informing results, but they are commonly presented in distinct conferences and journals, creating barriers to the integration of the insights and hampering our understanding of rhotics and the role they play in a wide number of phenomena (e.g., speaker identification, language variation and change, language acquisition).

Invited speakers:

- Michael Proctor (Macquarie University, Sydney)
- Cédric Gendrot (Paris 3 Sorbonne nouvelle)
- Odette Scharenborg (Radboud University Nijmegen)

Organizers:

- Hans Van de Velde (Fryske Akademy)
