Date: 07-Sep-2017 - 08-Sep-2017
Location: Vienna, Austria 
Contact Person: Nikolaus Ritt
Meeting Email: dpt17 at univie.ac.at

Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics; Morphology; Phonetics; Phonology 

Call Deadline: 15-Mar-2017 

Meeting Description:

The first Diachronic Phonotactics Workshop (dpt17) will address questions such
as:

- How are changes in stem-level, word-level and phrase level phonotactics best
described and accounted for?
- Do phonological constituents larger than segments (segment clusters,
syllables, feet, prosodic words, etc.) represent units with histories of their
own?
- How does phonotactic complexity arise, and under what circumstances does it
achieve historical stability?
- Are there constraints or preferences concerning the mapping of phonological
structure on morpho-syntactic structure, and are the effects of such
constraints visible in diachronic developments?
- What roles do the perception and the production of phonotactic structures
play for their diachronic development?
- What are the roles of acquisition and usage in the emergence and the
evolution of phonotactic patterns?

The workshop will feature a plenary session, in which papers by invited
speakers will be presented and discussed, and a poster session, which is open
for general contributions (see call).

Invited Speakers:

- Andrew Wedel (University of Arizona)
- Basilio Calderone (Université de Toulouse Jean Jaurès)
- Donka Minkova (University of California, Los Angeles)
- Elissa Pustka (University of Vienna)
- Elzbieta Adamczyk (Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań)
- Katarzyna Dziubalska-Kołaczyk (Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań)
- Patrick Honeybone (University of Edinburgh)
- Rhona Alcorn (University of Edinburgh)
- Roger Lass (University of Edinburgh, University of Cape Town)
- Wolfgang U. Dressler (University of Vienna)


Call for Papers:

The first Workshop on Diachronic Phonotactics (Vienna, September 7 - 8, 2017)
invites submissions for poster presentations on themes relating to diachronic
phonotactics. Posters may deal with any language, and any issue in the
thematic domain of the workshop. They are encouraged to address - but are not
limited to - questions such as the following:

- How are changes in stem-level, word-level and phrase level phonotactics best
described and accounted for?
- Do phonological constituents larger than segments (segment clusters,
syllables, feet, prosodic words, etc.) represent units with histories of their
own?
- Are changes in phonotactics mere epiphenomena of changes that happen to
individual segments, or are there dynamic, bi-directional and potentially
systematic interactions between constituents from different levels of
phonological organisation?
- Is there a diachronic explanation of the fact that phonotactic constraints
appear to be strictest on the stem level and loosest on the phrase level?
- What role do the perception and the production of phonotactic structures
play for their diachronic development?
- How does phonotactic complexity arise, and under what circumstances does it
achieve historical stability?
- How do constraints governing phonological structure interact with principles
of morphological organisation (governing inflection, derivation, compounding)?
- How does such interaction affect the diachronic development of phonological
and/or morphological constituents? 
- Are there constraints or preferences concerning the mapping of phonological
structure on morpho-syntactic structure, and are the effects of such
constraints visible in diachronic developments?
- How do systematic differences between the phonotactics of lexical and
functional items come about?
- What are the roles of acquisition and usage in the emergence and the
evolution of systematic phonotactics?

Contributions may approach diachronic phonotactics from any current
theoretical perspective and employ any suitable combination of methods (corpus
based research, experiments, computational modeling, etc.). Although its focus
is on language history, it explicitly welcomes contributions that deal with
related areas as well, as long as they can be made relevant to problems of
diachrony (such as language acquisition, or aspects of variation in a wide
sense).

Best Poster Award: all posters will be automatically considered, unless their
authors prefer to opt out.

Detailed information about abstract submission can be found under
http://dpt17.univie.ac.at/submission-and-registration/. 

Submission deadline: 15 March 2017.
