 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 is to bring together scholars working on these problems 
to discuss 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 20-24 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. 

Abstracts: 
Send in three anonymous copies of your abstract (for review) and one 
copy including your name, mailing address, e-mail address, fax and 
telephone number via regular mail to the address given below. In 
addition, provide an electronic version of your abstract, either as a disk 
accompanying the hard copies, or via e-mail. Abstracts should not 
exceed a maximum length
of one 1 page, 1.5-spaced.

The deadline for the receipt of abstracts is 

 March 1, 2001. 

Acceptance notices will be sent out no later than April 15, 2001.
