It is held in late May every year in Manchester. Second Call for Papers 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 broad 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: 'The History of Phonological Theory', featuring invited speakers: - John Goldsmith (University of Chicago) - Morris Halle (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) - D. Robert Ladd (University of Edinburgh) - Tobias Scheer (University of Nice) [Professor Halle's paper will either be presented in person, or may be read by another] Abstract Submission This is a summary - please consult the website for full details: http://www.englang.ed.ac.uk/mfm/17mfm.html - We are running a new system for abstract submission this year, using the Linguist List's EasyAbstracts system. - There is no obligatory conference theme - abstracts can be submitted on anything. - Abstracts should be uploaded to the 17mfm's page on the EasyAbstracts site by 2nd March 2009: http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/17mfm - Abstracts should be no longer than one side of A4, with 2.5cm or one inch margins, single-spaced, with a font size no smaller than 12, and with normal character spacing. - Your abstract should be anonymous. You will be asked to submit a version with your name and affiliation on it if your abstract is selected for presentation. All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by members of the organising committee and advisory board. - You should use one of these formats for your abstract: pdf, Word, or plain text. If you need to use a phonetic font in your abstract, either embed it in a pdf file, or use the Doulos SIL font - Full papers will last around 25 minutes with around 5 minutes for questions, and there will be a high-profile poster session lasting one and a half hours. When you submit your abstract, you will be asked to indicate whether you would prefer to present your work as an oral paper or a poster paper, or whether you would be prepared to present it in either form. - If you need technical equipment for your talk you will need to let the organisers know if your abstract is selected for presentation. We will do our best to provide it, although this cannot be guaranteed. - We aim to finalise the programme, and to contact abstract-senders by around the early April, and we will contact those who have sent abstracts as soon as the decisions have been made.
