About this Event
Event: CNY Humanities Corridor Workshop: Bridging diverse subfields of linguistics through the documentation of speech communities
Date: Oct 26, 2024
Location: University of Rochester
About: Syracuse, Rochester, and Cornell are part of a cross-institutional collaboration – the Central New York Humanities Corridor – that supports research working groups in the humanities (https://www.cnycorridor.net/). The working group Language Sound Structures brings together scholars who work on the documentation and analysis of phonetic and phonological patterns in human language.
This year our workshop will be held at the University of Rochester, on October 26th (Saturday). The broad focus is on the relevance of phonetic investigation to linguistic research. Speech and gesture are the basic vehicle of human language and communication, not written text, but oral (& signed) communication. Phonetics and phonology address the essential aspects of the patterns and details of the linguistic speech code in its diverse presentation across languages and cultures.
Details and reminders are coming soon.
General plan:
We will start with introductions around 10:30AM, followed by a talk by Christian DiCanio (University of Buffalo), titled “Enriching Laboratory Phonology with Rich Language Data.” In the afternoon, there will be thematically arranged short talks by students and faculty. Lunch and dinner will be provided.
