CALL FOR PAPERS
The North-West Centre for Linguistics and the Netherlands Graduate School
of Linguistics (LOT) announce
The 8th Manchester Phonology Meeting
University of Manchester (UK), Thursday 18 - Saturday 20 May 2000
We are pleased to announce our 8th Manchester Phonology Meeting. For
the past seven years, this meeting has been one of the important venues for
phonologists from all corners of the world. In an informal atmosphere, we
discuss a wide range of topics, from the phonological description of
languages to the acquisition of phonology by children. We, therefore, invite
abstracts for full papers or poster presentations from phonologists,
phoneticians, psychologists, sociolinguists, computational linguists - in
short, anyone interested in exploring current models of phonological theory
and the (cognitive, phonetic, sociological, computational...) implications of
such work. Talks on a variety of languages are welcome.
There will be 13 talks and a 90-minute poster session for up to 17 posters.
The Meeting also includes a special session on markedness and syllabic
position, organised by Norval Smith (University of Amsterdam), Patrick
Honeybone (Edge Hill College of Higher Education) and Wiebke Brockhaus
(University of Manchester), with financial support from LOT. The invited
speakers are Ellen Broselow (State University of New York at Stony Brook),
John Harris (University College London), Norval Smith (University of
Amsterdam), Bert Botma (University of Amsterdam) & Erik Jan van der Torre
(University of Leiden).
The conference venue is the Hulme Hall lecture suite at the University of
Manchester, which is located only a couple of miles south of the city centre.
Participants are asked to arrange their own accommodation, and details of
inexpensive local hotels (rooms from c. GBP20.00 per night, incl. breakfast)
can be found on our travel and accommodation page at
http://www.art.man.ac.uk/german/8mfm/traccomm.htm
If you would like to present a paper or a poster, please e-mail a title and a
one-page abstract no later than Monday 27 March 2000 to:
[log in to unmask]
Abstracts should be no longer than one side of A4 (21 c x 29.7 c; 12pt, 2.5
cm margins), including references. They can be sent as part of normal e-
mail messages, or as Word or WordPerfect files. Please indicate whether
your abstract is for a poster or a paper, bearing in mind that the organisers
reserve the right to accept an abstract for a format other than that suggested
by the author(s). If you are unable to submit your abstract by e-mail, please
post or fax it to:
Dr Wiebke Brockhaus
Department of German [not Linguistics, please note!]

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
VIEW 2000: Variation Is EveryWhere
14-16 September, 2000. University of Essex, Colchester, England
INTRODUCTION
VIEW is newly organized to provide a regular forum in the British Isles
for scholars concerned with language variation. The regional emphasis
is on the British Isles -- either because scholars are part of the
British variationist community, or because their work concerns
variation in the British Isles. (Not restricted to varieties of English.)
VIEW 2000 is the second in a series of meetings organized to strengthen
this research community. (It is the follow-up to the First UK Language
Variation Workshop, held April 1997 in Reading.) There is a VIEW
Standing Committee whose members will participate in the conference,
review abstracts, and meet during the conference to plan future events.
VIEW 2000 Organizing Committee:
Enam Al-Wer, David Britain, Peter Patrick (chair).
THE CONFERENCE
VIEW 2000 will be a small- to medium-sized conference with no parallel
sessions. Our hope is to give presenters enough time to talk freely,
and other participants enough space to interact with them, so that the
conference will not merely display the state-of-the-art, but advance
it. VIEW is open to post-graduate students presenting their own or
collaborative research as well as to established scholars, and encourages
submission of preliminary results or work in progress, esp. as posters.
We invite colleagues to submit papers on any aspect of language
variation, including but not limited to contemporary social
dialectology (rural or urban areas), quantitative variationist
sociolinguistics, geolinguistics, variation in discourse,
sociophonetics, dialect contact, creolistics, historical variation and
linguistic change, theoretical models of variation and change,
instrumental phonetic research, grammatic(al)ization, perceptual
dialectology, and sociolinguistic studies of language and social
class, status, sex, gender, age, ethnicity and other social factors.
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION Submission deadline: 30 April 2000.
Colleagues wishing to present a paper/poster should send ONE
camera-ready copy of their abstract (150-250 words, no more than 1 side
of A4, 12-point type), indicating the title of the paper/poster,
author's full name, name and address of institution, and email; and
THREE copies of their abstract with no identifying information. Mail to:
Prof. Peter L. Patrick, VIEW Organizing Committee
Dept. of Language and Linguistics, University of Essex
Wivenhoe Park, Colchester CO4 3SQ, U.K.
[No faxed abstracts, please.]
IN ADDITION, send an identical e-mail version of abstract and author
info to: [log in to unmask] with "VIEW 2000 abstract submission" in the
"Subject:" line. This email abstract should be sent in plain text, not as an
attachment of any kind, from the email address at which you wish to receive
acknowledgement of receipt.
Finally, in addition to the abstract text and author info, please list
up to 5 key-words or phrases representing significant themes or
elements your submission addresses. This will help us create
thematically coherent sessions and conference.
ACCEPTANCE AND ATTENDANCE
Because of constraints on the number of presentations and the need for
discussion time to exchange ideas, we anticipate that not all the high-quality
papers submitted will be accepted. Abstracts will be reviewed and rated by
the Standing Committee. The Organizing Committee will then select
appropriate papers from among the well-rated abstracts, attempting to
organize sessions around prominent themes and strands of research.
We hope all those submitting will make every effort to attend and
participate in discussions. We plan to provide time and space for
poster display as well, and will all encourage submissions not accepted for
talks to be displayed in poster sessions, as the authors find appropriate.
These will be eligible to be considered for publication (see below).
FURTHER INFORMATION is forthcoming on all of the following:
The draft timetable includes morning registration on Thursday 14
September with a possible workshop 10 to 12 noon; papers and discussion
between 1.30 to 6pm Thurs, 9.00am and 6.00pm Friday, and 9.00am and
1.00pm Saturday. Accommodation and meals will be available on campus.
Costs to follow. Registration forms will be made available in the near
future. Selected papers will be published in the Essex Research Reports
series of working papers; papers derived from all conference talks and
posters will be eligible. A website will be mounted with conference
information. For a link to it, please consult the following site in the
near future: http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~patrickp/
