What do we need to consider in order to understand the innovation and propagation of phonological change, and to reconstruct past phonological states? The Seventh Edinburgh Symposium on Historical Phonology will offer an opportunity to discuss fundamental questions in historical phonology as well as specific analyses of historical data.
Plenary speaker: David Natvig (University of Stavanger)
The invited speaker will address foundational issues in the discipline over two one-hour slots, one on each day of the symposium.
Submission instructions:
Submit your abstracts via this EasyAbs system, as a pdf file. Abstracts should not exceed one A4 or US Letter page with 2.5 cm or 1 inch margins in a 12pt font. The file should not include any information identifying the author(s). All examples and references in the abstract should be included on the one single page, but it is enough, when referring to previous work, to cite ‘Author (Date)’ in the body of the abstract — you do not need to give the full reference at the end of the abstract. Please do not submit an abstract if it goes over one page — it will be rejected. (If you have any problems submitting, let us know: [email protected].)

Please make sure that you LIST ALL ABSTRACT-AUTHORS CLEARLY, and make sure that you include a UNIVERSITY/AFFILIATION for all authors when you submit your abstract. List authors' names in the 'Authors' section of the abstract-submission form and universities in the 'State all universities/institutions that author(s) are affiliated with here' section of the abstract-submission form - if there are multiple authors, simply list all relevant universities in the 'State all universities/institutions that author(s) are affiliated with here' section.
LIST ALL AUTHORS' EMAIL ADDRESSES IN THE 'Add an email address for each abstract-author here' SECTION of the abstract-submission form (if you are the only author, give your email address; if there are multiple authors, give all authors' email addresses).
All abstracts will be considered for either a talk or a poster presentation (with the assumption that you would rather have a talk). You may state (in the 'comments' section) if you would like your abstract to be only considered for a poster presentation.
