1. Welcome

A workshop on the theme of recursion in phonology will be hosted by the Restrictive Phonology Research Group on 1-2 September 2016. The venue will be Tohoku Gakuin University, Sendai, Japan. The event will bring together researchers working mainly within representation-based frameworks of phonology, and aims to provide a forum for exchanging ideas on the issue of recursive structure in current phonological theory. A European publisher has already expressed interest in publishing a collection of papers on the theme of recursion in phonology, and it is anticipated that a selection of papers from the workshop will contribute to this volume.
