Workshop ‘PhonStraP’: Morphosyntactic conditioning of phonology in Stratal and parallel frameworks
Workshop description
This workshop aims to bring together researchers investigating how morphosyntactic structure conditions phonological computation, with a special focus on insights from Stratal Optimality Theory (Stratal OT), but also parallel frameworks. In Stratal OT, grammatical information influences the application of phonology through three principal mechanisms, level selection (stem, word, phrase), cyclic misapplication, and prosodic bounding, each offering a distinct window into the interaction between morphology, syntax, and phonology.
We invite contributions that explore how grammatical structure determines phonological domains and drives phonological alternations, whether through procedural (cyclic) or representational (prosodic) mechanisms. The workshop seeks to foster dialogue across theoretical models, from stratal architectures to monostratal OT, Cophonology Theory, and Output-Output correspondence approaches.
