<Outline>
In the field of linguistics, scholars have appealed to various properties of language which they argue
can shed light not only on the nature of language itself but also on how human language differs fromother human endowments and from the specialised cognitive abilities of non-human animals. In
phonology, for example, which is the branch of linguistics concerned with language sound systems, it isproposed that one such property is the use of certain types of relations between units. The units ofphonological description can be related to one another in two ways: asymmetrically (resulting in strongweak, head-dependent, or licensor-licensee pairs) and in terms of precedence (resulting in a linear
ordering of units). The role of relational properties is crucial because such relations have a significant
influence on the kinds of rules or constraints that can be imposed on language (Harris 1994, Nasukawa
2011). Ultimately, then, the form of language depends on which and how many properties we choose torecognize, since these properties determine which rules or constraints can be used to control the shapeof human languages. The rules/constraints in question constitute one aspect of the language knowledge
expressed by the phonological component of the grammar. So, in order to characterize the overall shapeof the phonological component and its evolutionary path, and to determine the place of phonology within
the language faculty as a whole, it is essential that scholars determine exactly what kinds of relational
properties are involved (Nasukawa 2017).
To this end, this workshop will provide a platform for discussing relational properties in phonology.
The aim is to encourage interaction between scholars from different approaches including diachronic
development, cross-linguistic variation, lexical-vs-non-lexical representations and language evolution.
