Workshop on the Analysis of Varieties of English intonation and prosody

12th -14th December 2000
Victoria University of Wellington
New Zealand

This workshop will bring together researchers from around the world with
an interest in the analysis of intonation and prosody in varieties of
English. The workshop will contain a mix of discussion papers and
hands-on analysis of speech materials.

We welcome contributions on the analysis both of 'standard' varieties of
English such as General American, Australian, New Zealand, or Southern
British English, and of emerging varieties of English such as Singapore
or Hong-Kong English, as well as of geographic and sociolinguistic
variation in intonation and prosody.


Registration cost is likely to be around NZ$100 (NZ$50 for students).

A limited amount of accommodation can be arranged through the
University.
