Keynote address: Grammar and non-grammar: an integrated model of phonological variation
Andries Coetzee presented a keynote address at the VI Congresso Internacional da ABRALIN (6th International Congress of ABRALIN) entitled”Grammar and non-grammar: an integrated model of phonological variation”.
In the talk, he develops an Harmonic Grammar model of phonological variation that simultaneously allows for grammatical and non-grammatical factors to impact variation. Over 3000 people from all over Brazil attended the conference, and it therefore felt like attending the LSA Annual Meeting.
