Second Call for Papers
Fifteenth Manchester Phonology Meeting
24-26 May 2007
Deadline for abstracts: 1st March 2007
Conference website: www.englang.ed.ac.uk/mfm/15mfm.html
Background
We are pleased to announce our Fifteenth Manchester Phonology Meeting
(15mfm). The mfm is the UK's annual phonology conference, with an
international set of organisers; it is held in late May every year in
Manchester. The meeting has become a key conference for phonologists
from all corners of the world, where anyone who declares themselves to
be interested in phonology can submit an abstract on anything
phonological in any phonological framework. In an informal atmosphere,
we discuss a wide range of topics, including the phonological
description of a wide variety of languages, issues in phonological
theory, aspects of phonological acquisition and implications of
phonological change.
Special Session
There is no conference theme - abstracts can be submitted on anything,
but, following the success of such sessions in previous years, a
special themed session has been organised, entitled 'Where is
allomorphy?' This will feature invited speakers and conclude in an
open discussion session when contributions from the audience will be
very welcome. Abstracts which attempt to deal overtly with the issues
involved with this (from any perspective) are certainly welcome.
Special Session Speakers (in alphabetical order)
- Ricardo Bermudez-Otero (University of Manchester)
- Mirjam Ernestus (Radboud Univeristy & Max Planck Institute, Nijmegen)
- John McCarthy (University of Massachusetts)
- Glyne Piggott (McGill University)
