Conference: OCP 20

· by

OCP 20 will take place from 2023-01-25 to 2023-01-27 at Tours, France, hosted by Tours, France.

OCP is an annual event gathering researchers specializing in phonology and related fields, interested in both theoretical and experimental issues. It was founded in 2003 by a group of linguists from the Leiden University Center for Linguistics and the Meertens Institute, and has since grown into an international forum attended by both senior and junior linguists. Since then, OCP has been hosted in different places mainly in Europe: Warsaw, Verona, London, Düsseldorf, Budapest, Barcelona, Leiden, Istanbul, Berlin, Marrakech, Nice, Edinburgh, Toulouse, Rhodes, Budapest, Tromsø, Amsterdam, Leiden, Eivissa, Donostia/San Sebastian.

OCP 20 will be held in Tours (France), a lovely city across the Loire-river in the center of France (one hour south of Paris by train), on January 25-27, 2023. It is hosted by the University of Tours, the Laboratoire Ligérien de Linguistique (UMR 7270 CNRS) and Structures Formelles du Langage (UMR 7023). OCP 20 will span over three days with a main session only (no specific workshop will be held).

The invited speakers include

  • Sabine Arndt-Lappe (Univ. Trier)
  • Noam Faust (SFL / Univ. Paris 8 & CNRS)
  • Hannah Sande (Berkeley)
