Call for papers

Second North American Phonology Conference (NAPhC2)

The Linguistics Program at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec will
host the Second North American Phonology Conference (NAPhC2) from
April 27-29th, 2002. 

We are pleased to announce that the following phonologists
have all accepted invitations to the conference:

Patricia Keating (UCLA)
John McCarthy (UMass)
David Odden (Ohio)
Carole Paradis (Laval)
Douglas Pulleyblank (UBC)


The theme of the conference is "I-Phonology", in the sense of
"I-language" discussed in Chomsky's _Knowledge of Language_ (1986). 
We thus encourage submission of empirical and formal investigations 
into the nature of individual I-phonologies, as well as into the 
nature of the human phonological faculty. 

Students are encouraged to submit abstracts.

Abstract length is not limited--complete papers may be submitted for
evaluation. Papers may be submitted and presented in French or English.

Accepted papers will be allotted 40 minutes, including discussion time.
Papers not accepted as talks will be considered for the Poster Sessions.
Please indicate in your message if you do NOT want to be considered for
a poster presentation. 

Abstracts must be submitted electronically to 

naphcmodlang-hale.concordia.ca

Deadline for receipt of abstracts is December 1, 2001. Registration
information will be provided after the announcement of the program in
January.
 
Preferred formats in decreasing order are pdf, ps, plain text, rtf, WORD
(Mac or Windows), WordPerfect (Linux, Mac or Windows). Word and 
Wordperfect users should use no other phonetics fonts than SIL Doulos 
(available at http://www.sil.org/computing/fonts/encore-ipa.html ). 
If you make a ps or pdf file under Windows or Mac, please verify its 
integrity before sending it. Do not send any compressed files--make 
sure your mail program does not compress automatically.

Further information will soon be available at
