Morphology in production and perception (MPP 2022)
Phonetics, phonology and spelling of complex words
7-9 February 2022 in Düsseldorf, Germany
Call for papers
Aims and Scope
Recent research on the production and comprehension of morphologically complex words in speech and writing has shown that morphological structure may influence their phonology, articulation, acoustics and spelling. So far, the range of investigated phenomena and languages is still small. Nevertheless, the results obtained so far pose serious challenges for current theories of phonology-morphology interaction, of the mental lexicon and of language production, perception and comprehension. The following questions are at the center of the debate:
- How does morphological structure affect the articulatory, acoustic, orthographic and phonological properties of complex words?
- Seen from the reverse angle, what do the phonological, phonetic and orthographic properties of complex words reveal about morphological structure?
- What are the implications of the answers to the above questions for theories and models in these domains?
We invite contributions on the articulation, acoustics, phonology and spelling of complex words that address the above-mentioned questions.
