The following list of questions is meant to be suggestive and provocative. In fact the organizers wish to throw the field of discussion to all matters related to the syllable in phonology or phonetics. Do syllables exist? Are syllables derived? Is syllable structure ever lexically distinctive? What is the internal structure of the syllable? Are syllables hierarchically dominated by other prosodic categories? What principles guide the syllabification of a string of phonemes? What aspects of syllables are referred to by morphological and phonological rules/constraints? How do phonetic syllables relate to phonological syllables (and vice versa)? What is the role of sonority for syllables? Invited Speakers: Harry van der Hulst, University of Connecticut Paul Kiparsky, Stanford University Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel, MIT Donca Steriade, MIT Bert Vaux, University of Cambridge Submission Guidelines: Abstracts should consist of a one page description of the paper (12pt font) with a second page for references, data and/or illustrations. Talks will be 20 minutes with 10 minutes for discussion. Abstracts should be emailed as an attachment (PDF format) to syllablecunyphonologyforum.net no later than midnight, November 10, 2007. Authors should include title of the paper, name of the author(s) and affiliation in the body of the email. Important Dates and Information: November 10, 2007 deadline for abstracts submission December 1, 2007 notification of acceptance January 17-18, 2008 Conference on the syllable in phonology Contact and Further Information: syllablecunyphonologyforum.net Organized by Chuck Cairns, CUNY and Eric Raimy, University of Wisconsin Message 2: Thirteenth International Lexical Functional Grammar Conference
Date: 22-Oct-2007 From: Martin Forst <mforstparc.com> Subject: Thirteenth International Lexical Functional Grammar Conference E-mail this message to a friend Full Title: Thirteenth International Lexical Functional Grammar Conference Short Title: LFG 2008 Date: 04-Jul-2008 - 06-Jul-2008 Location: Sydney, Australia Contact Person: Jane Simpson Meeting Email: lfg08arts.usyd.edu.au Web Site: http://escholarship.library.usyd.edu.au/conferences/index.php/LingFest2008/LFG/ Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Linguistic Theories; Semantics; Syntax Call Deadline: 15-Feb-2008 Meeting Description Thirteenth International Lexical Functional Grammar Conference July 4-6, 2008 University of Sydney, Australia Conference website: http://escholarship.library.usyd.edu.au/conferences/index.php/LingFest2008/LFG/ Conference e-mail (not for abstract submission): lfg08 'at' arts.usyd.edu.au Abstract submission receipt deadline: 15 February 2008 Submissions should be submitted using the online submission system at http://www.easychair.org/LFG08/ The 13th International Lexical Functional Grammar Conference will be hosted by the University of Sydney from July 4th to 6th 2008. This LFG conference is one in a series of linguistics conferences, and will be followed by the Australian Linguistics Institute (http://www.lingfest.arts.usyd.edu.au/). LFG 2008 welcomes work within the formal architecture of Lexical-Functional Grammar as well as typological, formal, and computational work within the 'spirit of LFG' as a lexicalist approach to language employing a parallel, constraint-based framework. The conference aims to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers interested in non-derivational approaches to grammar, where grammar is seen as the interaction of (perhaps violable) constraints from multiple levels of structuring, including those of syntactic categories, grammatical relations, semantics and discourse. Further information about LFG as a syntactic theory is available at the following sites: - http://www.essex.ac.uk/linguistics/LFG/ - http://www-lfg.stanford.edu/lfg/ Thirteenth International Lexical Functional Grammar Conference July 4-6, 2008 University of Sydney, Australia Submissions: Talks and Posters The main conference sessions will involve 45-minute talks (30 min. + 15 min. discussion), and poster/system presentations. Contributions can focus on results from completed as well as ongoing research, with an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational. Presentations should describe original, unpublished work. Dissertation Session As in previous years, we are hoping to hold a special session that will give students the chance to present recent PhD dissertations (or other student research dissertations). The dissertations must be completed by the time of the conference, and they should be made publicly accessible (e.g., on the World Wide Web). The talks in this session should provide an overview of the main original points of the dissertation; the talks will be 20 minutes, followed by a 10-minute discussion period. The International LFG Association (ILFGA) will pay the conference fees for the students presenting at the student session. Students should note that the main sessions are certainly also open to student submissions. Timetable Deadline for abstracts: 15 February 2008 Acceptances sent out: 31 March 2008 Conference: July 4-6 2008 Submission Specifications Abstracts for talks, posters/demonstrations and the dissertation session must be received by February 15, 2008. All abstracts should be submitted using the online submission system. Submissions should be in the form of abstracts only. Abstracts can be up to two A4 pages in 10pt or larger type and should include a title. Omit name and affiliation, and obvious self-reference. Note: we no longer ask for a separate page for data and figures (c-/f- and related structures). They can be included in the text of the abstract, obeying the overall two-page limit. Please submit your abstract in .pdf or .doc format. If you have any trouble converting your file into any of these formats, please contact the Program Committee at the address below. All abstracts will be reviewed by at least three people. Papers will appear in the proceedings, which will be published online by CSLI Publications. Selected papers may also appear in a printed volume published by CSLI Publications. Organisers and Their Contact Addresses If you have queries about abstract submission or have problems using the EasyChair submission system, please contact the Program Committee.
