many linguistic families.</span></p>

proposals for 20-minute talks that explore specific topics in the study of
sound change from any or multiple of the following (or related) subfields of
linguistics: Historical linguistics; phonology; philology; phonetics; typology;
sociolinguistics; corpus linguistics, etc.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">The study
of sound change has long been at the center of historical phonology and
historical linguistics more generally, with regular sound correspondences due
to regular sound change serving as the basis of lexical reconstruction of proto-languages
spoken thousands of years ago. During the last 40 years, a nuanced theory of
sound change based on articulatory, aerodynamic, and acoustic properties of
speech has evolved from a great deal of interdisciplinary research, inspired by
the research agenda of Ohala (see, for example, Ohala 2003), and has played a
central role in the explanation of synchronic sound patterns as well (Blevins 2004,
2015). The possibility of applying recent analyses of linguistic change to
problems in which the classical approach yielded limited results is one of the
reasons behind this resurgence (Honeybone & Salmons 2015). These new
interdisciplinary approaches include phonetic analyses of spoken data and
laboratory experimentation (Yu 2015; Harrington et al. 2019 and references
therein), the study of the influence of language contact and social and
population factors in its geographic spread (Labov 1994; Trudgill 2011), as
well as continued typological comparison between similar sound patterns found
in unrelated languages (Kümmel 2015). Innovations in these interdisciplinary
approaches have illuminated multiple aspects of sound change, including:</span></p>
