 GLiP-4

 (Morpho)phonological acquisition
 in the light of current phonological theories


DATE: 2 March 2002
LOCATION: Warszawa (Warsaw)

Sponsored by the Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw


 1st Call for Papers

GLiP-4 is the second meeting in the GLiP series devoted to phonology
and morphophonology, this time with a focus on language acquisition.

We invite abstracts on the acquisition of phonology and
morphophonology from the perspective of current adult-based theories.
We welcome discussion of learnability issues as well as
theoretically-oriented analyses of acquisitional data. Although the
focus is on L1 phonology, abstracts concerning aspects of L2
acquisition will also be considered.

The workshop is meant as a contribution to the on-going debate on (1)
how successfully current advances in phonology and morphophonology can
be applied to account for what Menn (1983) terms "detours of the
unskilled learner", and (2) the role that the analysis of
developmental data can play in evaluation of competing adult-based
(morpho)phonological theories.

We would also like to draw some attention to the rarely addressed
problem of acquisition of languages with complex morphophonology, and
to test the common belief that acquisitional data from such languages
can shed light on how children come to terms with the abstract
phonological structure of the target language. In other words, we are
interested in how and when children internalize adult phonological
processes and representations, and in how the acquired adult-based
processes interact with reduction processes in their interim
grammars.

The format of the workshop is 30 min for presentation + 15 min
question time. The language of the conference is English.

A volume of proceedings is also planned. See the GLiP pages at
http://venus.ci.uw.edu.pl/~glip/ for details about the previous
proceedings volumes.

ABSTRACTS:
- -------

Should be *anonymous* (i.e., they should contain no personal data or
explicit self-references) and consist of up to 700 words, together
with examples and references.

Because abstract forwarding to referees will be done by e-mail
exclusively, the following are the possible formats of attachments, in
*descending* order of preference:

 (Plain Text) > Postscript > PDF > (La)TeX > Word for Windows '97

In cases when there is no need to use special phonetic symbols or
phonological representations/rules, we strongly encourage PLAIN TEXT
submissions.

We regret to say that other formats will not be accepted.

Should the electronic version of the abstract need special phonetic
fonts apart from the SIL IPA fonts (http://www.sil.org/), please
attach them as well. (We strongly discourage this practice though, and
reserve the right to ask for a resubmission in a different format.)

Those who submit abstracts in (*self-contained*!) (La)TeX should best
use the tipa.sty package. See our web pages for pointers to the
relevant web sites.

Only one submission per person and one joint submission will be
considered.

Please note: do NOT send abstracts on diskettes. We will accept
*e-mail* submissions *exclusively*.

following information:
