I begin by considering the original definition of phonologization (&quot;A universal phonetic tendency is said to become &apos;phonologized&apos; when language-specific reference must be made to it, as in a phonological rule.&quot; (Hyman 1972:170)), a concept which can be traced back at least as far as Baudouin de Courtenay (1895 [1972:184]). Particular attention is paid to the role of contrast in the phonologization process. After presenting canonical examples of phonologization (particularly transphonologizations, whereby a contrast is shifted or transformed but maintained), I suggest that the term &quot;phonologization&quot; needs to be extended to cover other ways that phonological structure either changes or comes into being. Throughout the talk emphasis is on what Hopper (1987:148)  identifies as &quot;movements towards structure&quot;: the emergence of grammar (grammaticalization) and its subsequent transformations (regrammaticalization, degrammaticalization). After showing that phonologization has important parallels to well-known aspects of &quot;grammaticalization&quot; (Hyman 1984), I conclude that phonologization is but one aspect of the larger issue of how  (phonetic, semantic, pragmatic) substance becomes linguistically codified into form.<\/P>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, we will have a special additional session of Phonology Circle, with a talk by Larry Hyman (UC Berkeley).
