Meeting Description:

PAC 2017 - Phonology and interphonology of contemporary English: from native
corpora to learner corpora

International conference:
Thursday, September 28 to Saturday, September 30 2017
at Université Paris Nanterre / Paris Nanterre University

Guest Speakers:

Jacques Durand, Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès
Dan Frost, Université de Grenoble
Patrick Honeybone, University of Edinburgh

All papers focusing on the main theme summarized by the title of the
conference are welcome but, to contextualize this forthcoming event,
participants should be aware that PAC 2017 is a logical extension of the
conferences that the PAC project has organized annually since 2000, on a
European level, at the universities of Toulouse II, Montpellier III and
Aix-Marseille I, and reflects the developing activities of this project. All
contributions on the phonology and phonetics of contemporary English as well
as on the interphonology of English are welcome.

General PAC Session:

The general PAC session will be dedicated to the following theme:

Usage-based accounts and phonological models: how to articulate
phonetic-acoustic studies and phonological theory.

In recent years, usage-based accounts, especially within the framework of
Exemplar Theory (Pierrehumbert 2001, 2006), have been put forward as relevant
explanations for various phenomena observed, on the basis of oral corpora, in
the different varieties of oral English. By relying on frequency effects, such
accounts have shed light on the emergence and evolution of New Zealand and
Australian English (Trudgill 2004, Gordon et al. 2004) or on the dynamics of
rhoticity and r-sandhi phenomena in contemporary non-rhotic varieties (Cox et
al. 2014) for example. However, such accounts are often criticised for lacking
phonological abstraction and for not being able to fully account for the
phenomena in question as they do not model their underlying mechanisms at the
phonological level. That is why many phonologists have rejected these
accounts. However, other phonologists have shown how the results provided by
phonetic-acoustic studies and usage-based accounts of corpora can lend
themselves to theoretical analyses and help model the emergence and evolution
of phenomena at the phonological level (see Patrick Honeybone's work on T-to-R
in Liverpool English (to appear) for an example of such an approach).


Call for Papers:

Abstracts should be no longer than one side of A4, with 2.5 cm margins,
single-spaced, with a font size no smaller than 12, and with normal character
spacing. All examples and references in the abstract should be included on the
one single page, but it is enough, when referring to previous work, to cite
''Author (Date)'' in the body of the abstract - you do not need to include the
full reference. Please send two copies of your abstract - one of these should
be anonymous and one should include your name, affiliation and email at the
top of the page, directly below the title. All abstracts will be reviewed
anonymously by members of the scientific committee or other experts in
the field. The named file should be camera-ready, as it will be used in the
abstracts booklet if the proposal is accepted.

Abstracts should be submitted in the same form, in a PDF file, by email to
cecile.viollain at u-paris10.fr with copy to
sylvain.navarro at univ-paris-diderot.fr and nadine.herry at univ-paris8.fr.

Time for papers: 30 minutes, plus 15 minutes for questions.

Dates and Deadlines:

Conference: September 28 - September 30 2017
Final deadline for submissions: March 31 2017
Results of refereeing of abstracts: Friday June 30 2017
