For over forty years, Prof Piggott has been a supporter of the highest quality research in phonology, the study of how sounds are organized into grammatical systems. He is well recognized for maintaining the most rigorous approach to theory building and testing, coupled with intellectual breadth and curiosity. This has resulted in outstanding contributions in terms of his own research, his influence on his peers, and his training and supervision of new generations of linguists. He instills in those around him the need to have a wide perspective on thinking in the field, and challenges his students to become independent scholars who will survive the theoretical whims of the time. Although the conference is organized to honour Prof Piggott, its theoretical objective is to highlight phonological research at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, evaluating the contributions of the past forty years in light of the primary theoretical and empirical concerns of today.
