Exploring Communication between Syntax and Phonology A workshop coming up at CASTL / the University of Tromsø Venues: September 16th: UB Auditorium; September 17th: Auditoriet Nedre Lysthus Organizers: Pavel Caha, Martin Krämer, Dragana ?urkalovi? Workshop description: Both syntax and phonology have undergone rather dramatic changes over the last decades. In this workshop we want to bring together phonologists and syntacticians to (i) re-visit the old connections in view of recent developments within both fields, as well as (ii) establish new potential areas of communication between the two fields. Since the late 80s, syntacticians have been working towards an increasingly articulate view of syntactic structure. The traditional split between lexical and functional categories is being lost and many lexical elements in the syntactic tree have been reanalyzed as a sequence of functional projections. What are the consequences of such proposals for phonologists, who count on the traditional distinction? Similarly, syntactic research has been progressively drifting away from the notion of a (morpho)syntactic 'word'; what consequences does this have for the mapping between syntax and phonology? On the other hand, what useful insights do phonological criteria, as used to establish the levels of Lexical Phonology or Stratal OT, or the domains of Prosodic Phonology, contribute to syntactic analysis? Do phenomena such as allomorphy and mutations tell us something about the ordering and interaction of syntactic operations, lexical look-up and phonology? To what extent can phonology use syntactic features in the specification of environments for the application of phonological processes?
