Rutgers linguists represented our department with three talks at the 9th Workshop on Turkic and Languages in Contact with Turkic (Tu+9). The conference was held on March 23 and 24, 2024, at Cornell University.<\/p>\n

Prof. Adam McCollum<\/strong> was one of the keynote speakers, presenting a talk titled “O gradience, where art thou? Examining backness harmony in Uyghur”.<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/em>: Discreteness of representations is a core commitment of classical generative phonology.
\nHowever, one of biggest arguments levied against discreteness has come from the phenomenon of incomplete neutralization \u2013 where the output of some phonological process on a feature [F] is phonetically distinct from underived [\u00b1F]. A sizeable body of work has argued that incomplete neutralization crucially undermines the sufficiency of discrete representations, instead contending for the inclusion of gradient representations. In this talk, I investigate backness harmony in Uyghur, evaluating recent claims of
\nincomplete neutralization. Results from two production studies replicate findings from previous work on the language, but I show that, with proper experimental controls, the pattern is derivable without recourse to gradient phonological representations. I then discuss the conceptual and theoretical challenges for gradient representations along with criteria for true phonologically relevant gradience.<\/p>\n
