Phonology Reading Group
Linguistics Department, Leipzig University
Organized by Jochen Trommer and Eva Zimmermann.

We meet every week to discuss recent and/or important work in phonology. Most of the time we agree on a paper that we all read and then discuss, but we also include talks/discussions about our own work in progress.

Starting with the summer term of 2021, the reading group is exclusively organized via Moodle.

Winter term 2020/2021 (Mondays, 17:15)
We'll meet on zoom.
More organizatorial details are distributed via E-Mail: Please let me know (Eva.Zimmermann[at]uni-leipzig[dot]de) if you want to be added to the mailing list and get all relevant informations!
