Location: Amsterdam and Leiden
Dates: September 11 and 12, 2008
Here are some nice pictures.
The phonetic difference between b and p, or z and s has been described as a difference in (timing of) vocal fold vibration, but it well-known that there are subtle differences in the precise implementation of 'voicing', as well as its function in the phonologies of the world's languages. This workshop brings together researchers who study the phenomenon from a variety of perspectives, both theoretical and empirical, and both synchronic and diachronic. What's the right phonological interpretation of voicing? How does it interact with other phonological features? How do phonological processes involving voice --- such as intervocalic voicing, devoicing and voicing assimilation --- interact with other phonological processes?
The workshop took place in Amsterdam and Leiden. The last talk was a Dutch-style inaugural address, followed by a party, which was open to participants in the workshop.
