Meeting Description:

The workshop 'Controversial issues in Polish phonetics and
phonology'will bring together phoneticians and phonologists interested
in the phonetic realizations and the underlying representations of
Polish speech sounds. Second call for papers for the workshop
"Controversial issues in Polish phonetics and phonology" which will be
part of the 35th Poznan Linguistic Meeting to be held in Poznan,
Poland, 18 �Euro" 20 May 2004.

The workshop will bring together phoneticians and phonologists
interested in the phonetic realizations and the underlying
representations of Polish speech sounds. Current controversial topics
in this field include, e.g.:
- the classification of the post-alveolar fricatives as
palato-alveolar or retroflex;
- the phonological interpretation of secondarily palatalized labials
as underlying one or two segments;
- the nature of the secondarily palatalized post-alveolar, is it
palatalized throughout and thus identical to the alveolo-palatal or a
palato-alveolar with a palatal off-glide;
- the classification of palatalized velar stops as secondarily
palatalized or palatal segments.

Although the focus of the workshop is placed on segmental phenomena,
other controversial issues of Polish phonetics and phonology are also
welcome for discussion.

We are also pleased to announce that Prof. Wiktor Jassem will be our
discussant.

Organizers are Silke Hamann and Marzena Zygis (both ZAS Berlin,
Germany).

Meeting Description:

FIRST JOINT CONFERENCE OF THE SOCIETY FOR PHILOSOPHY & PSYCHOLOGY AND
THE EUROPEAN SOCIETY FOR PHILOSOPHY & PSYCHOLOGY
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
 
July 3 - July 6 2004
Barcelona, Spain
http://www.eurospp.org/2004/
http://www.ub.es/grc_logos/spp_espp_04/

The aim of the European Society for Philosophy & Psychology is "to
promote interaction between philosophers and psychologists on issues
of common concern". Psychologists, neuroscientists, linguists,
computer scientists and biologists are encouraged to report
experimental, theoretical and clinical work that they judge to have
philosophical significance; and philosophers are encouraged to engage
with the fundamental issues addressed by and arising out of such
work. In recent years ESPP sessions have covered such topics as
spatial concepts, simulation theory, attention, joint attention,
reference, problems of consciousness, introspection and self-report,
emotion, perception, early numerical cognition, infants' understanding
of intentionality, memory and time, motor imagery, counterfactuals,
the semantics/pragmatics distinction, minimalism in linguistic theory,
reasoning, vagueness, mental causation, action and agency, thought
without language, externalism, connectionism, hypnosis, and the
interpretation of neuropsychological results.
 

The Society for Philosophy and Psychology is among the premier
organizations of its kind in the world. SPP was founded in 1974 to
provide a forum for exchanging ideas on the very latest empirical and
philosophical approaches to the mind. The name of the Society signals
the traditional liaison between philosophy and psychology, but our
interests extend well beyond these fields. Our membership includes
scholars from linguistics, neuroscience, evolutionary biology,
cognitive anthropology, artificial intelligence, psychopathology, and
cognitive ethology.
 
Some of the most important and well-known research themes in the
cognitive sciences were discussed in their nascent stages at the
Society's annual meeting. These meetings are lively and collegial, and
present an unrivaled opportunity for conversations that cross
disciplines. The Society takes special pride in creating a supportive
atmosphere for researchers at the beginning of their careers,
including graduate students. Many of them have gone on to become
prominent contributors to their fields and to the present life of the
Society.
 
In addition to invited lectures and symposia and contributed papers
and posters, the Society has recently added focused workshops on
empirical topics of interest to our members.

THE 2004 WILLIAM JAMES PRIZE 
History: At the 1996 annual Business Meeting, SPP membership moved to
create AN AWARD FOR GRADUATE STUDENT PAPERS accepted for oral
presentation in contributed sessions at subsequent annual
meetings. The SPP funds up to two awards yearly, with no more than one
award per discipline. Awards are $250 paid out of SPP funds, and a
certificate. The yearly panel of judges includes the Program Co-Chairs
and the President, as well as any other willing SPP officers,
executive committee members, or regular members requested by this
group. Having a paper accepted for oral presentation in a contributed
session alone is not sufficient for receiving an award. At the 1997
meeting, membership moved to rename the award The William James Prize,
in light of James' contributions to both philosophy and psychology.
 
Rules for Submission 
 
1. To be eligible for the William James Prize, one must be pursuing a
doctoral degree in philosophy, psychology, or other relevant
disciplines, and must not have received the Ph.D. by the submission
deadline for contributed papers. This year's submission deadline is
February 20, 2004.
 
2. The William James Prize committee will determine the prize-winners
(if any) only after the program decisions have been made.
 
3. Prize-winners will be acknowledged by a special insert in the
conference program, and will receive their check and certificate at
the annual Presidential Address and Banquet.
 
4. The author(s) of the winning paper(s) will have the option to
publish a version of their paper, revised in light of the conference
discussion, in the journal Philosophical Psychology.

William James Prize in a cover letter accompanying your submission, if
