    Message 1: "Questions" call update

    Subject: "Questions" call update


    In the first call for papers for the "Questions" conference to be held at the University of Liverpool 12th-14th November 1999 (LINGUIST 10.266) I inadvertently omitted an invitation for proposals on the phonology of questions. Phonologists and phoneticians are, of course, very welcome.
