Professor LABOV, William University of Pennsylvania, USA
Professor WANG, William S.-Y. The Chinese University of Hong Kong
"A Dialogue on Sound Change: Past, Present and Future"
The 19th century Neogrammarians held that sound change is phonetically conditioned, gradual, regular, and affects all words of the lexicon at the same time. The last century saw breakthrough developments in the study of how sound change spreads through the lexicon, and how it takes place through variation in real time. This forum brings together two pioneering scholars whose seminal ideas have advanced the theory of sound change, in a dialogue with a panel of Chinese historical linguists and sociolinguists.
