Spring Meeting 1994: University of Salford

GENERAL INFORMATION AND CALL FOR PAPERS

The 1994 Spring Meeting will be held from Tuesday 5 April to Thursday
7 April at the University of Salford. The Meeting will be hosted by
the European Studies Research Institute and the Department of Modern
Languages.

The University of Salford stands one mile to the west of Manchester's
cosmopolitan city centre. Manchester, England's third largest city,
provides excellent cultural, leisure, shopping and sporting
facilities. Manchester is easily accessible by air, road and rail,
and the University of Salford has a railway station adjacent to the
campus.

The Linguistics Association 1994 Lecture on the Tuesday evening will
be delivered by Professor Ray Jackendoff of Brandeis University, and
is entitled `Lexical Insertion in a Post-Minimalist Theory of
Grammar'. Professor Jackendoff will also be participating in a
workshop on the topic of `Lexical Semantics: current perspectives' on
Tuesday afternoon. Other contributors to the workshop are Alan Cruse
(Manchester), Sue Atkins (OUP) and Antonio Sanfilippo (Sharp
Laboratories, Oxford).

On the Wednesday evening there will be a Parasession on `Sign
Languages from a Linguistic Perspective', organised by Bencie Woll,
with two invited speakers. BSL interpreters will be available.
Papers on sign language are also particularly invited for the general
session.

On the Thursday afternoon there will be a Parasession on `Topics in
Phonological Theory' with contributions from Jacques Durand (Salford),
Francis Katamba (Lancaster), Andrew Spencer (Essex) and Phil Carr &
Noel Burton-Roberts (Newcastle).

Kirsten Burrell (ESRC Psychology, Education and Linguistics Research
Support team) will be present at the conference.

Enquiries about the LAGB Meeting should be addressed to:
Dr M. O. Tallerman, Dept of Linguistics, University of Durham, Elvet

Full details of the programme and a booking form will be available
