Call for Papers:
Thirteenth North American Phonology
Conference—NAPhCxiii—[næ᷈ɸˈkxi̤̤ʔi̤̤ʔi̤̤]
The Concordia Center for Cognitive Science is pleased to announce a
call for papers for the 25th year anniversary of the North American
Phonology Conference: NAPhCxiii. The conference will be held from May
9 to May 10, 2025 at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec.
Invited speakers:
Sammy Andersson (Yale)
Anja Arnhold (University of Alberta, Edmonton)
Oriana Kilbourn-Cerón (Concordia)
Magdalena Markowska (Stony Brook)
Tutorials:
Analyzing phonological patterns in terms of logical and algebraic
structures: Dakotah Lambert (Haverford)
Tutorial on Logic Phonology: Rim Dabbous (Concordia), Kyle Gorman
(CUNY) & Charles Reiss (Concordia)
Optional Theme: Phono–Logical Reasoning
NAPhC seeks submissions that contribute to the understanding of the
phonological component of the human language faculty. We particularly
welcome papers on the relationship of formal reasoning to I-language
phonology in (at least one of) the three following interrelated
senses:
 - The logic1 of phonological computation and representation: Do
rules/constraints make explicit use of quantificational logic and set
theoretic notions? What is the logical structure of segments and other
representational units?
 - The logic2 of phonological acquisition: What logical apparatus must
be used by the Phonological Language Acquisition Device to discover
the rules and representations that end up in long term memory?
 - The logic3 of phonology-the-discipline: What kinds of reasoning do
phonologists use to figure out the contents of logic1 and logic2
For example, one might argue that logic2 and logic3 make reference to
meaning contrasts in the lexicon, say, by comparing minimal pairs, but
this does not entail that logic1 makes reference to contrast, for
example, by avoiding derivations that result in homophony, or treating
non-contrastive features as inert. Of course, some scholars  have
argued that logic1 does make reference to contrast, and such questions
are open to discussion.
Talks will be 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion.
There will be a poster session.
Deadline for abstracts: Sunday, February 23 at 23:59  wherever you are
located. Evaluation of abstracts should be complete by March 2.
Abstracts should be pdf documents of 2-5 pages;  they should be sent
directly to cognitivescience at concordia.ca attached to an email
containing the following information:
Subject line: NAPhC submission
Authors' names and affiliations
Authors' ranks (student, faculty, etc):
Only for poster consideration? YES or NO
