This is a session of the following conference:
15th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences
	
	
Meeting Description: 
	
This workshop - a satellite event at ICPhS 2003 - will give
researchers an opportunity to discuss and evaluate the application of
Autosegmental-Metrical approaches to the intonation of language
varieties.

It is anticipated that focus groups for a small number of languages
for which such varietal study has been undertaken will work on a
number of common themes, as indicated on the web-site for the
workshop, both prior to and at the workshop. The morning session of
the workshop will be given over to language-based guided group
discussion of these and other emergent themes. The afternoon session
will consist of a report-back session, a small number of invited
plenary addresses on central themes, and general discussion.
	
Please send expressions of interest in participating in this workshop
to Paul Warren (paul.warrenvuw.ac.nz) by February 15th. Please
include details of the language family of interest, and any specific
issues to be addressed.
