Subject: Workshop "Issues in Phonological Typology"


Full Title: Workshop "Issues in Phonological Typology"

Date: 27-Nov-2025 - 28-Nov-2025
Location: Tromsø, Norway
Web Site: https://phontyp.github.io/

Linguistic Field(s): Phonology; Typology

Call Deadline: 31-Aug-2025

Call for Papers:
Virtually all phonological theorizing references phonological typology
in some respect. For example, cross-linguistic tendencies are
routinely invoked in support of claims about markedness and the
constraint set. At the same time, there remain major divides in the
field with respect to evidential and explanatory standards.
Researchers often operate under distinct formal assumptions about
levels of representation, the nature of phonological alternations, and
the relationship between phonetics and phonology. A persistent
question concerns how well a theory can accommodate only and all the
attested patterns: formal accounts often face issues of
over-generation or under-generation, and the nature of typological
gaps remains elusive.
This workshop seeks to bring together researchers whose work connects
phonological theory and phonological typology across a broad range of
theoretical, methodological, and empirical domains and approaches. We
welcome contributions that
 - develop explanatory accounts of typological patterns and gaps that
are grounded in acquisition, historical change, or system-internal
factors;
 - apply experimental methods such as Artificial Grammar Learning or
other laboratory-phonological approaches to typological questions;
 - use novel sources of empirical data beyond traditional descriptive
materials;
 - bridge formal and functional approaches;
 - address methodological challenges in establishing and interpreting
generalizations across different types of empirical evidence.
