CONFERENCE ON THE PHONETICS-PHONOLOGY INTERFACE 11-13 October 2001 Zentrum fuer Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft Berlin, Germany - S E C O N D C A L L F O R P A P E R S - In recent years there has been increased interest among phonologists and phoneticians in incorporating phonetic explanations in phonological analyses and in conducting experimental work within the framework of "laboratory phonology". The goal of this conference is to discuss the relation between phonetics and phonology from a broad perspective. We welcome papers focussing on both the overall status of phonetic (articulatory as well as per- ceptual) explanations in phonological theory and also specific laboratory studies. Invited speakers who have agreed to participate are: Paul Boersma (University of Amsterdam) Edward Flemming (Stanford University) Carlos Gussenhoven (University of Nijmegen) Ian Maddieson (University of California at Berkeley) Janet Pierrehumbert (Northwestern University) In addition to these speakers there will be slots for 15-20 papers. While abstracts are invited on papers dealing with any aspect of the phonetics-phonology interface of particular interest are papers dealing with the following topics: 1. The phonetic basis for phonological elements (features, segments, syllables, sonority, stress) 2. The phonetic basis for typological generalizations (contrasts, inventories) and diachronic change 3. The relationship between phonological and phonetic representations 4. The role of perception in phonology Papers will be 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes discussion. Deadline for submission of abstracts is 15 July 2001. There will be no conference fees.
