Meeting Description:

Although syntax and phonology at first sight seem to study very similar
objects – modules of human cognition involved with the form of language – the
two disciplines seem to have grown apart, employing formal tools that differ
radically.

According to some scholars, this is a logical and even desirable development,
and a consequence of the methodological assumption that the mind is modular.
There is then no need to believe that different 'modules' of grammar have a
similar architecture or refer to similar objects. Others point out however,
that it seems unlikely that modules that have such similar tasks and
furthermore clearly have to interface would be so different.

What are the differences between syntax and phonology in terms of derivational
mechanisms and representational devices? Are syntactic findings on the working
of grammar still relevant to phonologists and vice versa? Do notions like
constituency, features refer to ontologically similar objects or are they
radically different?

On July 9, 2018, the Meertens Instituut will host a 1-day workshop on
parallels between phonology and syntax. This workshop is organized in
collaboration with the Leiden University Center for Linguistics and the Center
for Language Studies of Radboud University. The workshop will take place right
in the historical center of Amsterdam.

Invited speaker: Prof. Harry van der Hulst (University of Connecticut).
