Workshop on Phonological Variation in Voicing

Location: Amsterdam, Leiden, Netherlands

Linguistic Field(s): Phonology

Meeting Description:

What is the place of devoicing and other voicing phenomena in phonological
theory? Which phenomena need to be accounted for by our theory? Which phenomena
CAN be understood by it? This will be the topic of a workshop at the Meertens
Instituut in Amsterdam on September 11, 2008, and the University of Leiden on
September 12, 2008.

The phonetic difference between b and p, or z and s has been described as a
difference in (timing of) vocal fold vibration, but it well-known that there are
subtle differences in the precise implementation of 'voicing', as well as its
function in the phonologies of the world's languages. This workshop brings
together researchers who study the phenomenon from a variety of perspectives,
both theoretical and empirical, and both synchronic and diachronic. What's the
right phonological interpretation of voicing? How does it interact with other
phonological features? How do phonological processes involving voice --- such as
intervocalic voicing, devoicing and voicing assimilation --- interact with other
phonological processes?

The workshop takes place in Amsterdam and Leiden. The last talk is a Dutch-style
inaugural address, followed by a party, which is open to participants in the
workshop. Participation is free; but please announce your presence beforehand to
marc.van.oostendorpmeertens.knaw.nl.
