 Symposium on Estonian Prosody

Aim: to provide an opportunity for scholars who have been
 interested in Estonian prosody to meet each other and
 discuss their theories and findings.

Purpose: to see if it is possible to arrive at some kind of
 consensus as to what the Estonian three-way quantity
 system really means: what is its phonetic
 manifestation, which of several interpretations is most
 reasonable, and what can it contribute to linguistic
 theory.

Time: October 29-30, 1996.

Place: Institute of Estonian Language (Eesti Keele Instituut),
 Tallinn, Estonia.

Format: there will be four sessions of invited papers and a
 concluding panel. Each paper will be followed by
 discussion. Others besides the invited speakers are
 welcome to attend the symposium (upon payment of a
 small registration fee) and participate in the
 discussions. If you are interested in attending the
 symposium, please contact Jaan Ross before May l5,
 l996 (address below).

Language: the language of the conference will be English.

Publication: it is planned to prepare and publish a bilingual
 volume containing the presented papers, to appear in
 l997. The printed version of the papers may be longer
 than the actual presentations; they will be provided
 with an extensive (approximately five-page) summary in
 the other language. The volume will be edited by
 Ilse Lehiste.
