CUNY CONFERENCE ON PRECEDENCE RELATIONS

The CUNY Phonology Forum and the CUNY MA/PhD Program in Linguistics co-sponsored a conference focused on investigating all aspects of precedence (temporal or sequential) relationships in phonology January 25, 26, 2007. This conference, like the Syllable Conference, was organized thematically. The term “precedence relations” refers to any aspect of temporal or sequential relationships in phonology. Showing a degree and type of diversity similar to the Syllable Conference, scholars asked such questions as: Are precedence relations unique to phonology, or derivable from more general cognitive functions? How are they represented in the phonology, in phonetics, in acquisition, etc. Starting with the Precedence Conference, the Forum plans to publish the full proceedings of every conference on the web. This includes audio files. The Proceedings of the Precedence Conference are accessible by means of the links below.
