Meeting Description:

The MIT Linguistics Department is hosting a Conference on Metrical Structure: Text-setting and Stress for September 20-21, 2013. The conference marks a number of new developments in these fields as well as a number of 90th anniversaries: among them, the publication of Roman Jakobson’s O češkom stixe (1923), the first typological study of meter and stress, hailed as the beginning of Prague School phonology; Eduard Hermann’s Silbenbildung im Griechischen und in den andern indogermanischen Sprachen (1923), the first typological study of syllable weight as applied to quantitative meter; and other 1923 events of significance for the theory of metrical structure. The abbreviated name of the conference is M90.

Invited Speakers:

Stress:

MeganCrowhurst, Matt Gordon, William Idsardi, Junko Ito, Mark Liberman

Call for Posters:

The abstracts should be limited to two pages including references and data and submitted in pdf format. Abstract deadline is April 30, 2013. Accepted poster presenters will be notified by May 20, 2013. The address to which abstracts should be sent is stressmetermit.edu.
