Main and special themes

Submissions from any school or theoretical framework of phonology are welcome. Topics of interest may relate to phonology in general or in specific language, in synchronic or in diachronic dimensions. Issues focusing on phonology and its interfaces, epistemology, descriptive phonology, experimental phonology,  phonological modeling or formalism are awaited.

This year's conference, we especially encourage submissions focusing on the two following topics:

Multi-level approach of the phonology-phonetic interface and / or description of minority languages, dialects, spatial variation, phonological changes, language and sound system typologies;

Development and acquisition of phonological representations.
