anglistik.uni-siegen.de>CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on the Phonology and Morphology of Creole Languages August 22-24, 2001 University of Siegen, Germany Until very recently, phonology and morphology have been neglected areas in the study of creole languages. Available phonological studies were largely confined to segmental aspects, and morphology was generally held to be marginal in these languages, if not totally absent. Some more recent studies have shown, however, that the investigation of creole phonology and morphology is of considerable importance for the field of creole studies, both theoretically and empirically. The aim of this workshop our aim is to discuss issues in creole phonology and morphology in a pleasant atmosphere. (A more detailed call for papers mentioning more specific research questions to be addressed at the workshop is available at the workshop's web-site, URL given below) Invited speakers: Anne-Marie Brousseau (University of Toronto) Hubert Devonish (University of the West Indies, Jamaica) Claire Lefebvre (Universit� du Quebec � Montr�al) John McWhorter (University of Berkeley) Norval Smith (Universiteit van Amsterdam) There will be approximately 24 slots for papers. Each paper will be allotted 25 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion. We are planning a half-day excursion for Thursday, August 23, so that an informal gathering of creolists will be possible. The workshop is organized by Prof. Ingo Plag, Chair in English Linguistics, University of Siegen. Accomodation: All paper presenters will be provided free accomodation in a centrally located hotel.
