30th Poznan Linguistic Meeting (PLM)

1-3 May 1997, Poznan

Recent developments in linguistic theory
and their application to language comparison

ANNOUNCEMENT
AND CALL FOR PAPERS


This is to announce a linguistic meeting intended to take up,
cherish and continue the long-established tradition of
International Conferences on Contrastive Linguistics organized by
Professor Jacek Fisiak. Prof. Fisiak has so far organized 29
conferences in this series and has kindly agreed to act as the
honorary Chairman of the organizing committee of the 30th
meeting.

Topic

The topic of the Meeting - Recent developments in linguistic
theory - invites papers which contribute in some way to the
contemporary models of linguistic description and explanation (be
it optimalist, minimalist, naturalist, conventionalist or
other). As the subtitle suggests, the papers are expected to
point to an ultimate application of those models to linguistic
typology.
