Subject: Workshop on Logical Phonology


This is the first workshop on Logical Phonology (LP), a inimalist,
substance-free theory of phonology which makes limited ontological
commitments. It uses set-theoretic representations and a rule
interpretation procedure based on subsumption. LP provides a precise
definition of possible phonological rules, and thus of possible (i.e.,
computable) phonological grammars. LP derives locality and
long-distance phonological effects using a unified search procedure.
LP rejects the stipulation that segments must be fully specified,
allowing it to express many generalizations previously analyzed as
morphophonological within the narrow phonology. LP reject appeals to
phonetic substance, deriving typological tendencies from the
diachronic filter. LP seeks to develop a theory of the phonological
language acquisition device. LP is a work in progress and many open
questions remain.
