Abstract

Abstract 1. Evolutionary Phonology The primary goal of Evolutionary Phonology is to explain recurrent sound patterns in spoken languages across time and space. One domain of explanation is diachronic, and much of my own work has focused on diachronic explanations (e.g. Blevins 2004, 2006a, to appear a, to appear b, to appear c, this volume). Another domain of explanation is synchronic. A range of synchronic factors, from the mechanics of speech perception and production (e.g. Myers and Hansen 2005, To appear), to aspects of languages use (e.g. Blevins 2005a, 2005b), to general cognitive strategies in learning, categorization, and pattern-matching (e.g. Wedel 2004a, 2004b, to appear a, to appear b), are likely to play a major role in defining recurrent aspects of sound patterns.
