CALL FOR PAPERS
The North-West Centre for Linguistics and
the Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics (LOT)
announce
The 9th Manchester Phonology Meeting
University of Manchester (UK)
Thursday 24 May to Saturday 26 May 2001
We are pleased to announce our 9th Manchester Phonology Meeting. For the
past eight 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 be13 talks and a 90-minute poster session for up to 17 posters.
The Meeting also includes a special session entitled 'Phonology and syntax
- the same or different?', organised by Patrick Honeybone (Edge Hill
College of Higher Education), with financial support from LOT.
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
