Meeting Description:

The Linguistics Department at UC San Diego is pleased to announce that the 6th
Annual Meeting on Phonology (AMP) will be held on October 5-7, 2018 in San
Diego, CA, USA.

Updated information will be available at http://phonology.ucsd.edu/.

Invited Speakers:

- Junko Ito and Armin Mester (UC Santa Cruz)
- Laura McPherson (Dartmouth College)
- Bert Remijsen (University of Edinburgh)

Methods workshop tutorials:

- Investigating underdocumented tone systems
 (Bert Remijsen, University of Edinburgh)

- Electroglottography for voice analysis
 (Marc Garellek, UC San Diego)

- Underdocumented language data corpus construction
 (Gabriela Caballero, UC San Diego)

SPOT tutorial:

- Syntax-Prosody in Optimality Theory (SPOT) (Jennifer Bellik and Nick
Kalivoda, UC Santa Cruz)

SPOT (https://people.ucsc.edu/~jbellik/research/spot/interface1.html) is a web
application which performs automatic candidate generation and constraint
evaluation over prosodic parses of sentences. It is designed for use in
conjunction with OTWorkplace (https://sites.google.com/site/otworkplace/), a
tool for manipulating OT tableaux, determining rankings, and calculating
factorial typologies.

In association with the SPOT tutorial, we are hoping to gather both
experienced and novice OTWorkplace users to share OTWorkplace uses and tools.
If you are interested in attending an OTWorkplace workshop at AMP 2018, please
fill out the form at https://tinyurl.com/otworkplace-amp2018 by the abstract
deadline.


Call for Papers:

We are seeking high-quality unpublished research in all areas of theoretical,
experimental, and computational phonology for presentation at the 2018 Annual
Meeting on Phonology (AMP 2018), to take place October 5-7, 2018 and hosted by
the Linguistics Department at the University of California, San Diego. We
welcome submissions that address issues in the phonologies of spoken and/or
signed languages. This is the sixth installment of the Annual Meetings on
Phonology, following the 2013 inaugural meeting at the University of
Massachusetts Amherst, and subsequent meetings hosted by MIT, UBC/SFU, USC,
and NYU.

This year’s conference features a workshop entitled “Methods in phonological
data collection and analysis of underdocumented languages,” with associated
tutorials and invited speakers. We are particularly interested in high-quality
research submissions that address the workshop theme.

Submission Guidelines:

We invite abstracts for either oral presentation (20 minutes, followed by 10
minutes of discussion) or poster presentation. Abstracts must be anonymous, so
please be sure to eliminate any identifying information and metadata from the
document. Length is limited to a maximum of two single-spaced pages (US
Letter), figures and references included. Font size should be 12-point, with
margins of at least one inch (2.54cm) left on all sides. Abstracts must be
submitted in .pdf file format.

Submissions are limited to three per author, with at most one submission being
single-authored.

The deadline for abstract submission is Friday, June 1, 11:59pm PDT (23:59
GMT-7).

All questions about the conference should be emailed to phonology at ucsd.edu.

Publication:

All presentations (in both the general and workshop sessions) are eligible for
publication in the open-access on-line conference proceedings hosted by the
Linguistic Society of America. Oral presentations will appear in the main
Proceedings and poster presentations will appear in the Supplemental
Proceedings.

Sponsors:

Financial support for AMP 2018 is provided by the UC San Diego Division of
Social Sciences. (Additional support from the National Science Foundation is
pending for the Methods in phonological data collection and analysis of
underdocumented languages workshop.)
