    Redefining Elicitation: Novel Data in Phonological Theory

    Date: 09-Apr-2004 - 11-Apr-2004 Location: New York, NY, United States of America Contact: Lisa Davidson Contact Email: lisa.davidsonnyu.edu Meeting URL: http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/lingu/events/novel_data/index.html

    Linguistic Sub-field: Phonology

    Meeting Description:

    In recent years, new approaches to data acquisition and data analysis have raised questions about the nature of phonological representations and the organization of the phonological component of the grammar. Such approaches include data acquired by acoustic and articulatory methodologies, first and second language acquisition, computer simulations, and large corpora. As a result, many traditional problems in phonological theory can now be seen in a new light. The goal of the workshop is to explore novel kinds of data and the ways in which they can inform phonological theory.

    Please see the updated website for details about the confirmed speakers, conference time, and registrationinformation.

    The NYU Linguistics Department is pleased to announce the program for the workshop ''Redefining Elicitation: Novel Data in Phonological Theory'', to be held at NYU on April 9-11, 2004. For more information, including paper abstracts, please visit our website at:
