Meeting Description:

The workshop deals with the phonetic and phonological factors involved in the inception of sound change, and with its lexical and social diffusion mechanisms.

The 4th Workshop on Sound Change will be held at the University of Salamanca, Spain, on Friday, October 18, 2019. The goal of this workshop is to gather phonologists, phoneticians and historical linguists working on the phonetic and phonological factors involved in the inception of sound change and on its lexical and social diffusion mechanisms. Experimental and descriptive evidence calls for the need to develop better models of sound change which incorporate data on articulatory and acoustic variation and on how phonetic variability leading eventually to sound change is shaped by linguistic and social structures. The major contributions to the three previous workshop sessions were published by Lincom Europa in
– D. Recasens & F. Sánchez Miret & K. Wireback, eds., Experimental Phonetics and Sound Change, München, Lincom Europa, 2010.
– F. Sánchez Miret & D. Recasens, eds., Studies in Phonetics, Phonology and Sound Change in Romance, München, Lincom Europa, 2013.
– D. Recasens & F. Sánchez Miret, eds., Production and Perception Mechanisms of Sound Change, München, Lincom Europa, 2018.
