Call for Papers:
Virtually all phonological theorizing references phonological typology in some respect. For example, cross-linguistic tendencies are routinely invoked in support of claims about markedness and the constraint set. At the same time, there remain major divides in the field with respect to evidential and explanatory standards.

These resources are organized into 鈥渟emiotic channels鈥� which are categories based on the mode of information being conveyed. These channels run the gamut from the manipulation of the acoustic signal to the choice and arrangement of words and even facial expressions and gestures. The
