2nd Workshop on Spoken Morphology: Phonetics and Phonology of Complex Words

Meeting URL: http://www.spoken-morphology.hhu.de/events/2nd-workshop-on-spoken-morphology-phonetics-and-phonology-of-complex-words.html 

Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Phonetics; Phonology; Psycholinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

Spoken morphology, i.e. the pronunciation of morphologically complex words,
poses two big challenges to theories of the mental lexicon and grammar. The
first is the recent insight that supposedly categorical morpho-phonological
alternations are much more variable than previously conceived. What is
responsible for this variation, and how can models of grammar and the lexicon
accommodate it? The second, and more general, challenge is to determine the
role of morphological structure in the phonetic realization of words.
Recently, there are conflicting findings whether (and if so, how)
morphological structure influences the articulation and acoustics of complex
words, and how this in turn influences perception and comprehension. Research
in this area has important implications for current theories of the mental
lexicon and of speech production, perception and comprehension.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together contributions on the
articulation, acoustics or phonology of complex words that address the
above-mentioned issues.
