with any other subject related to Experimental Phonetics will be accept
ed).
- E-mail, postal address and telephone number
The acceptance of the proposals will be known by the 1st of March, 2005
.
The whole and definitive version should be handed in just after being

PTLC2005 Phonetics Teaching and Learning Conference
Preliminary announcement and call for papers
PTLC2005 will take place at University College London from midday
Wednesday
27th July until midday Saturday 30th July 2005. These dates are
immediately
before the UCL Summer Course on English Phonetics
http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/scep/), which will begin on Monday 1

covered by the conference will include:
Teaching and learning in
- general phonetics
- pronunciation for EFL and other languages
- phonetics for clinical purposes, including audiology and
speech and language therapy
- phonetics for the performing arts
- phonetics for speech technology
Assessment methods for practical skills and theory in phonetics
Papers describing and evaluating the use of IT in any of the above areas
will also be welcome.
Please note that papers must be relevant to some aspect of the teaching
and
learning of phonetics. Papers which deal with general phonetic
description
or phonological analysis, but which do not have pedagogical relevance,
will
not be accepted.
Submission deadlines
Abstract: An abstract not exceeding 300 words should be submitted by
plain
text email ONLY to the following address: [log in to unmask]
The deadline for abstract submission is Tuesday 1 February 2005.
Abstracts
will be reviewed by an international scientific committee and a
decision on
acceptance will be given by Thursday 31 March 2005.

Conference on Manner Alternations in Phonology
Date: 23-Jun-2005 - 25-Jun-2005
Location: Berlin, Germany
Contact Person: Marzena Zygis
Meeting Email: [log in to unmask]
Web Site: http://www.zas.gwz-berlin.de
Linguistic Field(s): Phonetics; Phonology
Call Deadline: 08-Apr-2005
Meeting Description:
The topic of this conference is the category manner in phonology, i.e.
(traditional) features such as [nasal], [lateral], [continuant], [stride
nt], as
well as processes which alter these features. Manner features are necess
ary to
distinguish classes of sounds such as stops, affricates, fricatives, nas
als,
laterals, as well as lesser understood sounds such as rhotics. Manner ca
tegories
are also instrumental in defining what is meant by sonority.
The two invited speakers are:
Wolfgang Kehrein, Phillips Universitaet Marburg
Moira Yip, University College London
In addition to these speakers there will be slots for approximately 15 p
apers.
While abstracts are invited on papers dealing with any aspect dealing wi
th
manner in phonology, papers dealing with the following topics are of par
ticular
interest:
1. Phonological processes (synchronic or diachronic) which alter manner
features
and their phonetic and/or phonological motivation
2. Connection between manner features and other features (e.g. place,
laryngeal, major class)
3. Connection between manner changes and prosodic structure (e.g. proces
ses
motivated by the syllable contact law, definitions of sonority)
4. Features for rhotics (i.e. central approximants, trills, taps/flaps)
5. Phonetic correlates for manner features
Papers will be 30 minutes, followed by 10 minutes discussion. Deadline f
or
submission of abstracts is 8 April 2005. Notification of acceptance for
program
by 30 April. There will be no conference fees. Please submit electronica
lly an
anonymous, two page abstract (pdf, word or rtf) to:

Please indicate the author's name and affiliation in the email.
