dec59.ruk.cuni.cz>The Department of Linguistics and Finno-Ugric Studies and The Institute of Phonetic Studies Faculty of Philosophy and Arts Charles University, Prague (Czech Republic) under the auspice of the Rector of Charles University Professor JUDr. Karel Maly, DrSc. announce a conference LP'96: Typology: prototypes, items orderings and universals August 20-22 1996 This is the third LP (Linguistics and Phonetics) conference of the two departments within the space of six years. The first conference was held in 1990, the second in 1994. The term "item-order" served as the central theme of the LP'96 Conference. It was used to designate any linguistic unit such as the phone- me, morpheme, syllable, word, word-form, phrase, clause or sen- tence. The primary aim of LP'96 is to contribute to the clari- fication of the role of item order in linguistic typology and its interrelationship with other typological means. Topics will focus among other on following questions: 1) What are the basic building blocks of linguistic types? What parameters differentiate language from other phenomena? The topic includes among other: Biological, genetic and philo- sophical aspects of linguistic universals; function-form appro- ach to typology; the role of comparison of acoustic and percep- tion phenomena in both natural and synthetic speech signals; internal and external phonetic values; kinds of iconicity/ isomorphism/ economy at individual levels of linguistic analysis; markedness of item-orderings (e.g. is it meaningful to differentiate fixed and free word-order according to the dichotomy unmarked-marked?) 2) Which factors are relevant for classification of languages? The topic includes among other: the processses of reduction and clustering of linguistic phenomena; substruction of linguistic properties. 3) What is the foundation of typology as a linguistic discip- line? What kinds of typologies exist? The topic includes among other: traditional typologies (morpho- logical, syntactic, semantic), cognitive typologies (configura- tional vs non-configurational languages, Baker's incorporation, mirror principles, kinds of raising, etc.), classification of typologies (parameters) 4) Is linguistic typology only a theoretical discipline or has it consequences for linguistic application? The topic includes: consequences for language teaching, for linguistic databases, for development of text-editors, for mul- tilingual communication and multimedia in www in contrast with monolingual communication, etc. Organizing Committee: Frantisek Danes (Czech Academy of Sciences) Osamu Fujimura (The Ohio-State University) Laura A.
