University of Bielefeld, Germany

TAPS 2001: Workshop on Typology of African Prosodic Systems

TAPS 2001 will bring together international experts to discuss the
typology of African prosodic systems. The workshop will be held in
Bielefeld, Germany, from May 18 - 20, 2001. Since this is the first
workshop of its kind, it would be premature to focus on one specific
issue. We anticipate that topics such as the following will be of
interest to participants: type of tone language or Pitch accent
languages; type of tones with reference with discrete levels or
terrace, number of level and/or contour tones; tonal downstep and
floating tones; tonal processes such as spreading, assimilation,
simplification, deletion; downtrend phenomena such as downdrift,
upstep, upsweep, suspension of downdrift; functional load of tone
(lexical, grammatical); historical emergence and disappearance of
tones and pitch accents; prosody of intonation languages spoken in
Africa (e.g. English, French, Portuguese).

Full papers will be prepared for distribution before the workshop
and subsequently revised with a view to publication.

For further details, including the procedure for preparation of
papers, please check our webpage

Colloque international / International Conference

Langues : français, anglais / Languages : English, French

Faisant suite au colloque "Orage'98. ORAlité et GEstualité :
communication multimodale, interaction" (Santi S., Guaïtella I.,
Cavé C., Konopczynski G. (eds), 1998, L'Harmattan, Paris), ORAGE
2001 est organisé afin de promouvoir les recherches sur la
multimodalité dans la communication. L'objet de cette rencontre est
l'étude des gestes et de la voix dans l'interaction, ces modalités
permettant aux individus de gérer l'espace et le temps interactifs.
L'émergence de cette thématique et le développement
des travaux sur le "gestuo-vocal" ont donné lieu à la création de
l'association GeVoix qui est organisatrice de ce colloque, en
collaboration avec le Laboratoire Parole et Langage (CNRS ESA 6057)
de l'Université de Provence. / ORAGE 2001 is in straight line with
the ORAGE' 98 conference - ORAlité et GEstualité - Communication
Multimodale, Interaction, Santi S., Guaïtella I., Cavé C.,
Konopczynski G. (eds), 1998, l'Harmattan, Paris. Its objective is to
promote the importance of a multimodal approach in the study of
communication. The major theme of this
meeting is the use of voice and gestures in the management of
interactive time and space. The emergence of this set of topics and
the increasing research in gestural and vocal studies led to the
foundation of the GeVoix association which is organizing this
conference with the Laboratoire Parole et Langage (CNRS ESA 6057) at
the Université de Provence.

  POSITIONS VACANT
 ******************

Position at MPI, Nijmegen

The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics is offering a
postdoctoral staff position in the field of language comprehension.
This is a non-permanent position (term of appointment 3 to 5 years).
It is a research position and involves no teaching duties;
considerable technical support is available. The position will be
available in 2001; we would prefer the successful candidate to begin
earlier rather than later in the year.

Research at the institute in the area of language comprehension
currently focusses on spoken-word recognition and the role of
phonological structure in comprehension.  The research includes
strong components of cross-linguistic comparison and computational
modelling. Current members of the group have primary research
interests in infants' development of word recognition abilities, and
in adult processing of spoken language in native and non-native
languages. Current research focusses on phonetic perception, the
processing of suprasegmental structure, the recognition of word
forms and the segmentation of continuous speech.  The group
currently includes six scientists and six students working towards a
PhD degree.

To supplement the expertise of the group we are particularly
interested in a candidate with knowledge of experimental
phonetics/phonology.  Young scientists with a completed Ph.D. in a
relevant field are encouraged to apply.  Relevant fields could
include experimental phonetics, laboratory phonology, experimental
psycholinguistics, or a related experimental discipline.  An
important criterion is a demonstrated ability to publish research
findings. Applications should include a c.v. and the names of two
referees who would be willing to write letters of recommendation;
examples of published work and a cover letter describing research
interests would also be helpful.

Send applications to:
