ling.univie.ac.at>Announcement and call for papers Eighth International Phonology Meeting Syllables !? ============ 1-3 November 1996, Vienna The Eighth International Phonology Meeting will be held from 1-3 November 1996 in Vienna, Austria. It will be much smaller in scale than the previous "phonology olympiads" in Krems, Eisenstadt and Vienna, and for the first time will have a general theme. The choice of the theme SYLLABLES!? stems from the dissatisfaction of many phonologists with the status of what up to now has been called "the syllable". In several of the newer phonological theories, there is no provision for the syllable as a central or even relevant phonological concept. On the other hand, concepts of a lower level (such as onset, nucleus, beat, etc.) and of higher levels (foot, stress group, etc.) have been the focus of increased interest. The aim of this meeting is therefore to bring together phonologists concerned with establishing new theoretical constructs to replace traditional syllables _ whether they bear the name "syllable" or not. Topics ====== Under the general theme of SYLLABLES !? there will be 3 topics : 1. Structure and content of syllables. 2. External evidence for phonological syllables and their constituents. 3. Inter-syllable relations. Invited speakers include: ======================== Pier Marco Bertinetto, Kasia Dziubalska, John Harris, Jonathan Kaye, Elke Ronneberger-Sibold Papers ====== There will be 6 main papers (2 per topic) by invited speakers (45 min. presentation and 15 min. discussion) and up to 34 section papers (20 min. presentation and 10 min. discussion), for which we invite the submission of abstracts. All papers will be plenary, and there will be no other types of session or workshop during the day, but we encourage evening workshops or discussion groups to be held on 2nd November (only). Please write or e-mail if you wish to organize one. Abstracts ========= Please submit one one-page camera-ready original of your abstract for a 20-minute section paper to the address given at the end of this announcement, and indicate which topic you are submitting for. No email or fax abstracts, please! The deadline for submission is 31st May 1996 ============= The abstracts will be available electronically by anonymous FTP before the meeting, and in printed form at registration. Fee === The registration fee is ATS 350, payable in cash, in Austrian Schillings at registration (for students ATS 250). We have decided against pre-payment because of the horrendous banking charges. The fee includes coffee during breaks and hopefully (depending on sponsors) a wine party on 1st November.

cogs.susx.ac.uk>AISB96 Workshop: Multilinguality in the lexicon FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS 1st December 1995 ** SUBMISSION DEADLINE 18th December ** Dates: 1st - 2nd April, 1996 Venue: University of Sussex, Brighton, UK Organisers: Dr Lynne Cahill, University of Sussex Dr Roger Evans, University of Brighton Outline - ----- This workshop aims to bring together active researchers with an interest in the issues surrounding multilingual aspects of lexicons. Traditionally, multilingual issues in the lexicon have primarily been a concern of applied NLP research, notably machine translation and more recently multilingual generation; the recent upsurge of work on more theoretical aspects of lexical representation has focussed on a monolingual view. However, these two strands are now beginning to come together: theoreticians are branching out into multilingual issues, and applied researchers are beginning to exploit some of the newer developments in lexical representation. This workshop provides an opportunity for lexical practitioners of all sorts to focus on the particular problems and questions associated with multilingual lexical representation. Papers are invited on any aspects of multilinguality in the lexicon including but not limited to: pragmatics, semantics, syntax, morphology, phonology, orthography; machine translation, generation, understanding; bilingual and multilingual issues; related and unrelated languages; issues of representation and access. In addition, we invite proposals to demonstrate working systems. Submission - -------- Extended abstracts (up to 5 A4 pages) and demonstration proposals (up to 2 A4 pages) should be submitted to Lynne Cahill either electronically (our preference) in plain ASCII text or LaTeX, or hard copy (three copies). Submission deadline is 18th December. Authors will be notified of acceptance by 15th January. Final papers will be due 1st March. AISB Workshops - ------------ This workshop is part of the AISB96 workshop series, comprising 10 or so independent workshops on various aspects of AI, running simultaneously over 1st-2nd April 1996. While the technical programme of each workshop is separate and self-contained, registration and accommodation will be organised centrally through the AISB96 organisers (contact details below), and participants of all the workshops will be able to mix freely outside of the technical sessions (mealtimes, evening etc.).
