Meeting Description:

DGfS 2018 Workshop: ''Variation and phonetic detail in spoken morphology'' 
Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Sprachwissenschaft 
Stuttgart, Germany 
March 7-9, 2018

Invited Speaker:
Sharon Peperkamp, Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistique,
Paris

Description:
The relation between phonetics, phonology and morphology is much more complex
than is assumed in current theories. For example, stress preservation in
derived words is more variable than hitherto assumed. A word like orìginálity
preserves main stress in its base oríginal as secondary stress, but other
words have variable secondary stress (e.g. antìcipátion ~ ànticipátion,
derived from antícipate, e.g. Collie 2008). In addition, there is evidence
suggesting that acoustic and articulatory detail may play a role in the
realization of morphologically complex words. For example, an [s] in American
English is longer if it is part of a stem than when it is a plural marker or a
clitic (cf. Plag et al. 2017). Pertinent work on both issues springs from
different linguistic disciplines, in particular psycholinguistics, theoretical
linguistics, phonetics, phonology, morphology, computational and quantitative
linguistics, and has led to novel proposals regarding the general architecture
of the morphology-phonology-phonetics interface. Different theories have been
proposed on the basis of lexical listing vs. computation, analogical models or
discriminative learning.

Within different linguistic disciplines, we see an increasing body of
empirical work that addresses problems of variation and phonetic detail in
morphology with the help of spoken data (e.g. Cohen 2015; Ben Hedia & Plag
2017, Strycharczuk & Scobbie 2017). Furthermore, there is more and more work
testing theoretical proposals with the help of computational simulations (e.g.
Arnold et al. 2017).

This workshop aims to bring together work from different disciplines that
study and model variation and phonetic detail on the basis of spoken data.
Relevant issues include: What new insights can spoken data bring to our
knowledge about morphophonological variation? Are speakers sensitive to and/or
aware of systematic subphonemic differences? What cognitively plausible
computational and psycholinguistic models do best account for this
variability? How can our theories of morphology deal with variation within and
between speaker? What is the status of morphophonological and morphophonetic
variation in grammar?
