Meeting Description:

Recursivity is assumed to be a central property of linguistic structure, most
central in syntactic structure. Recursive constituent structure is however
also found in phonology. In prosodic phonology, a hierarchy of a limited set
of prosodic constituents is assumed. In early days, the strict layering of
these constituents was assumed such that each layer dominates the
constituent(s) of the next higher level starting from the syllable - the
metrical foot - the phonological word - the phonological phrase - the
intonational phrase - the utterance (Nespor & Vogel, 1986). Within prosodic
phonology, there is a debate on how recursivity is best be modelled.
Strict-layering on the one hand, alignment of syntactic and prosodic
constituents, or most recent, match of syntactic and prosodic constituents in
combination with phonological well-formedness (Selkirk 2011). The latter
approach assumes recursive prosodic structure of the form of maximal,
non-maximal and minimal prosodic constituents (Itô & Mester, 2012).

This workshop is about recursive higher-ordered prosodic categories, in
particular phrasal prosodic categories. The aim of this workshop on
“Recursivity in Phrasal Phonology” is to bring together researchers working on
issues on phrasal phonology to discuss new developments with respect to
recursivity. The workshop will discuss new theoretical or empirical
developments with respect to phrasal phonology above the word. The aim is to
discuss current issues on syntactic and phonological constituency above the
word from both syntactic perspectives and phonological perspectives based on
samples from various languages.

We welcome contributions on any aspect related to the workshop theme
‘Recursivity in Phrasal Phonology’. We also encourage junior researchers to
submit their work. We welcome both paper and poster presentations. Length of
presentations is 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes for discussion.
