Íme a rövid absztraktok:
1. Substance-free representations We will discuss a model of substance-free phonology (term introduced by Hale & Reiss 2000), that is, a model where phonological representation and phonetic interpretation are in a many-to-many relationship. I will compare the different schools of thought within this approach, and present a proposal using privative features and a minimalist feature geometry.
2. Substance-free constraints I will outline a version of Optimality Theory in which constraints are neither phonetically grounded nor innate, and show that it is still possible to create factorial typologies and make generalisations about possible and impossible language types, but that these will be of a more abstract nature.
3. Case studies I present 2 applications of the model outlined on the first 2 days, analysing Hungarian /j/ and /h/ in voicing assimilation, and height and tenseness harmony in Pasiego Spanish. I will argue that both featural dependencies and violable constraints are crucial for the analysis.
