We welcome abstract submissions for the workshop „Tone in Grammar“ that will precede the main sessions of the OCP21:
- to be held in-person in Leipzig, Germany, on February 13, 2014
- Deadline for abstracts: September 15, 2023
We are delighted to announce the following invited speaker:
Yuni Kim (University of Surrey)
Background:
In the last years, many of the most substantial insights into the formal complexity of human languages have been based on grammatical tone, i.e. the tonal and intonational reflexes of morphosyntactic constructions. Thus morphological tone seems to be able to perform otherwise undocumented counting operations (Marlo et al., 2015) and intonation has been shown to resort to multiple recursive registers without parallel in other phonological modalities (Truckenbrodt, 2002). In addition, grammatical tone provides the most transparent cases where morphological and syntactic structure are directly reflected in phonological substance (Inkelas 2014, McPherson and Heath 2016, Rolle 2018, Korsah and Murphy 2019) but also shows the most dramatic mismatches between phonological and morphosyntactic domains (Bonet et al. 2019, Zimmermann & Trommer 2015).
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from diverse empirical and theoretical backgrounds to explore the range of cross-linguistic grammatical tone phenomena documented so far, to evaluate the explanatory value of theoretical proposals to account for them and to contribute to the further development of formalisms for the modeling of tone.
Submission instructions:
