alcor.concordia.ca>Final 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 26-28th, 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) SPECIAL Pre-CONFERENCE EVENT: The Concordia Linguistics Students Association will be hosting a talk entitled "We don't memorize words" by Alec Marantz of MIT on the evening of Thursday, April 25th, so conference participants will want to arrive early enough to attend this special event. The theme of the conference is "I-Phonology", in the sense of "I-language" discussed, among other places, 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 naphcMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
