*ABC↔Conference*

18–19 May 2014

University of California, Berkeley

Agreement by Correspondence (ABC) is a theory of similarity-based 
surface phonological interaction, originally introduced to account for 
the behavior of long distance consonant assimilation patterns (Walker 
2000; Hansson 2001; Rose & Walker 2004; et seq.). Recent years have seen 
an upsurge in work that extends ABC beyond its originally intended 
empirical and formal parameters. This growing body of work positions ABC 
as a potentially powerful framework that can account for vowel harmony, 
dissimilation patterns, and local segmental interactions. Investigations 
have reached a point where essential issues about the development of ABC 
need to be addressed:

  * the developing architecture of surface correspondence theory;
  * the extensibility of surface correspondence beyond long distance
    consonant assimilation;
  * the relationship between ABC and alternative frameworks based on
    licensing or autosegmentalism; and
  * the functional bases, in phonetics or psycholinguistics, underlying
    surface correspondence and phonological similarity.

The aim of ABC↔Conference is to bring together key participants in the 
development of ABC and related areas to address these issues outlined 
above, in talks, discussion, and a poster session. Invited speakers and 
discussants (tentatively confirmed; subject to adjustment) include the 
following.

*Call for Posters*

We invite abstract submissions for posters on all aspects of Agreement 
by Correspondence theory from but not limited to phonetic, 
psycholinguistic, and phonological approaches. Submissions that directly 
address an alternative or opposing view contra ABC (in part or in whole) 
are also welcome. We especially encourage submissions based on 
cross-linguistic, experimental, or corpus-based evidence, or evidence 
from under-investigated languages. The poster session will be a crucial 
element for this workshop in order to facilitate one-on-one discussion 
between researchers.

Please submit abstracts to stephsus at berkeley.edu 
<mailto:stephsus at berkeley.edu?subject=ABCC%20Abstract%20Submission> by 
*5pm PST on Friday, February 28^th , 2014*. Include your name, email, 
affiliation, and title of submission in the body of the email and an 
anonymous PDF as an attachment to the email. The abstract guidelines are 
as follows:

No more than 2 US letter-sized pages, inclusive of all examples, 
figures, and references

One-inch margins, Times New Roman 12-pt. font

Anonymous PDF, with all special fonts and characters embedded

Please direct questions to inkelas at berkeley.edu
