Calques is pleased to note that the call for papers for the 2020 Berkeley Linguistic Society Workshop has now been issued and abstracts are now being accepted! The workshop will take place February 7-8, 2020, with the theme of "Phonological Representations: At the Crossroads of Gradience and Categoricity".
Abstract submission info be found here. Abstracts are due November 1, 2019.
Describing the nature and behavior of the sounds of language is a central concern in linguistics. Topics such as categoricity vs. gradience, the information included in representations, and the place of abstraction in the larger linguistic system are central to many theoretical debates. This workshop aims to bring together different approaches to capturing the behavior of speech sounds by fostering discussion among researchers from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
Invited Speakers:
Katie Drager (University of Hawai'i at Mānoa)
