Theme
The conference theme will be:
Segmental phonology
The phonological segment is one of the oldest traditional
topics of study, yet many questions remain unresolved. How
abstract is the internal structure of the phonological segment?
What is the status of feature geometry, for instance, or the phonological skeleton
in more recent constraint-based frameworks? What is the current
consensus on the set of distinctive features?
Besides the main conference, there will be room for
two workshops. One workshop will be onm nasality, the other on
laryngeal features. The workshop papers have been selected from
the submitted abstracts.
We plan to publish a book on the topic of segmental phonology,
including selected papers presented during the conference.
