CALL FOR PAPERS

Symposium on Historical Phonology

University of Edinburgh, 13?14 January 2014

Deadline for abstracts: 30th September 2013

A symposium to celebrate Historical Phonology and the forthcoming
publication of the Oxford Handbook of Historical Phonology.

Website: www.lel.ed.ac.uk/symposium-on-historical-phonology

------------------------

BACKGROUND

Early 2014 will see the publication of the Oxford Handbook of
Historical Phonology. In part to celebrate this, and in part because
Historical Phonology is inherently worth celebrating, we are
organising a Symposium on Historical Phonology, to be held at the
University of Edinburgh on 13th and 14th January 2014.

The Handbook aims to gather together perspectives on phonological
change and on the reconstruction of past phonological states from
across the discipline. The table of contents is available here:

http://www.joseph-salmons.net/handbook

Contributors to the Handbook have been invited to attend the
symposium, and those listed below provisionally intend to attend. The
symposium will consist of presentations by some of them, the
organisers, and anyone else who would like to attend (see the call for
papers below). The intention is for the event to be organised
informally but to involve serious discussion of theoretical and
practical issues in Historical Phonology.

* Ricardo Bermudez-Otero (University of Manchester)
* Andras Cser (Pázmány Péter Catholic University)
* Patricia J. Donegan (University of Hawai?i)
* B. Elan Dresher (University of Toronto)
* David Fertig (University at Buffalo)
* Mark Hale (Concordia University)
* Patrick Honeybone (University of Edinburgh)
* Madelyn Kissock (Concordia University)
* Roger Lass (University of Cape Town)
* Warren Maguire (University of Edinburgh)
* Donka Minkova (UCLA)
* Geoffrey S. Nathan (Wayne State University)
* Martha Ratliff (Wayne State University)
* Joseph Salmons (University of Wisconsin, Madison)
* Tobias Scheer (Laboratoire BCL, University of Nice)
* Daniel Schreier (University of Zurich)
* Laura Catharine Smith (Brigham Young University)
* Christian Uffmann (University of Sussex)
* Adam Ussishkin (University of Arizona)
* Marilyn Vihman (University of York)
* Andrew Wedel (University of Arizona)
* Malcah Yaeger-Dror (University of Arizona)
* Alan C.L. Yu (University of Chicago)

CALL FOR PAPERS

We would now like to open participation to the symposium to anyone
else with an interest in Historical Phonology. The fee for attendance
will be minimal. If you would like to present at the symposium, you
will need to send in a 250 word abstract explaining what you would
like to discuss by 30th September at the very latest. We anticipate
that most abstracts will be awarded a poster presentation slot. If
more abstracts are received than can be accommodated, abstracts will
be selected by the symposium organisers on the basis of the broadness
of their relevance, modified by an impetus to ensure that a wide range
of perspectives are represented. We welcome abstracts which discuss
any aspect of Historical Phonology.

Your abstract should be no more than 250 words long and should explain
the issues you aim to discuss and any results or conclusions you have.
References may be included, and can be ignored for the word-count. As
we hope not to have much, if anything, in the way of abstract
reviewing, abstracts should be identified, with the title of your
presentation and your name at the top. You should send your abstract
as a pdf file by midnight on 30th September (GMT/UTC) as an attachment
to an email to: patrick.honeybone at ed.ac.uk. Please make sure any
phonetic font that you use is embedded in the pdf.

Please see the symposium's website for further details:
