DGfS Conference (March 6-8, 2019)
09 Mar 2019The 41st Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS) took place at the University of Bremen from March 6th to 8th. We had the pleasure to contribute to AG6: Phonetic Contrast and Phonemic Opposition successfully organized by Felicitas Kleber (University of Munich), Stefanie Jannedy (ZAS Berlin), and Melanie Weirich (University of Jena). The invited talk by Andrew Wedel (University of Arizona) discussed how the optimization for lexical information transmission shapes systems of phonological contrast.
