    Workshop on Syntax: Theoretical Approaches to Case

    Organizer: Jong-Bok Kim (Kyung Hee U) Invited Speakers: Joan Maling (Brandeis U), William O'Grady (U of Hawaii), Peter Sells (Stanford U), James H-S Yoon (U of Illinois) Workshop Description: Case marking remains a central topic in generative grammar for several reasons, including the fact that it: (1) plays a central role in argument licensing; (2) signals grammatical functions; (3) has the potential to mark properties of information structure; (4) has a core role in defining properties of the syntax-morphology interface. Different theoretical approaches offer different perspectives and formal tools for the exploration of these topics. We hope that the workshop will involve diverse views on the theoretical nature of case marking, with the goal of achieving greater insight into issues relating to the topics above. We invite abstracts that address any empirical or theoretical issues relevant to the analysis of case, from any theoretical perspective. Workshop on Phonology & Morphology: Issues on Loanword Adaptation

    Organizers: Yongsoon Kang (SungKyunKwan U) & Chung-Kon Shi (KAIST) Invited Speakers: Francis Katamba (Lancaster U), Ki-Moon Lee (Seoul NU), Hyoung-youb Kim (Korea U), Mira Oh (Cheonnam N U)

    Workshop Description: Loanword adaptation would be one of the great objects of research in the areas of Phonology and Morphology for such reasons as (1) it provides the window for the internal structure of mother tongue (2) it sheds light on the interaction of neighboring languages, and (3) it would have its own mechanism through which foreign words are introduced. Despite the significance of the phenomena, many of loanword issues are still open to debate and discussion. We hope that the workshop makes a great place to discuss and get the insight of the borrowing process. We sincerely invite abstracts that address any empirical or theoretical issues relevant to the loanword adaptation.

    Workshop on Semantics & Pragmatics: Representation and Computation of Presupposition

    Organizer: Hae-Kyung Wee (Korea Cyber U) Invited Speakers: Hans Kamp (Stuttgart U), Chungmin Lee (Seoul N U), Jae-Il Yeom (Hongik U), Keumhyun Moon (Sookmyung WU)

    Workshop Description: Presupposition involves a variety of semantic/pragmatic issues, including projection problem, accommodation, and binding, which have motivated formal semantic theories to evolve into the current states of dynamic semantics, and its interrelation with other semantic/pragmatic phenomena. The aim of the workshop is to explore these issues, regarding the representation and computation of presupposition in particular, and their implications to other related issues. Topics to be discussed include, but are not limited to: 1) The treatment of presupposition and/or its implementation in semantic or pragmatic frameworks, 2) the interrelation between theories of presupposition and theories of other related semantic and/or pragmatic phenomena, e.g., anaphora, focus, topic, information structure, etc., and 3) the proper and consistent treatment of different types of presuppositions. Abstracts are invited for papers on any theoretical or empirical issues related to these and other related topics.

    Abstract Submission: Abstracts should be submitted electronically to the organizers by March 15, 2004: Abstracts for a Workshop on Syntax to jongbokkhu.ac.kr

    FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

    Twelfth Manchester Phonology Meeting

    20-22 MAY 2004

    Special session: 'Phonology and Loanword Adaptation' (featuring Michael Kenstowicz, Carole Paradis, Moira Yip)

    Held in Manchester, UK; organised through a collaboration of phonologists at the University of Edinburgh, the University of Manchester, the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, the Universite Toulouse-Le Mirail, the Universite Montpellier-Paul Valery and elsewhere.

    Conference website: www.englang.ed.ac.uk/mfm/12mfm.html

    BACKGROUND We are pleased to announce our Twelfth Manchester Phonology Meeting (12mfm). The mfm is the UK's annual phonology conference, held in late May every year in Manchester and organised by people in various parts of the country, and abroad. In an informal atmosphere, we discuss a wide range of topics, including the phonological description of a wide range of languages, issues in phonological theory, aspects of phonological acquisition and implications of phonological change; anyone interested in phonology can submit an abstract on anything phonological. Full papers will last around 30 minutes with around 10 minutes for questions, and there will be a high-profile poster session lasting one and a half hours.

    SPECIAL SESSION There is no conference theme - abstracts can be submitted on anything, but, following the success of such sessions in previous years, a special themed session has been organised on 'Phonology and Loanword Adaptation'. This will feature invited speakers and conclude in an open discussion session when contributions from the audience will be very welcome. Abstracts on this theme are also certainly welcome.

    SPECIAL SESSION SPEAKERS (in alphabetical order) * Michael Kenstowicz (MIT, USA) * Carole Paradis (Universite Laval, Canada) * Moira Yip (University College London, UK)

    ABSTRACT SUBMISSION **This is a summary - please consult the website for full details**

    * There is no conference theme - abstracts can be submitted on anything. Abstracts should be sent to Patrick Honeybone by email (patrick.honeyboneed.ac.uk) by 15th February 2004.

    * Abstracts should be no longer than one side of A4, with 2.5cm or one inch margins, single-spaced, with a font size no smaller than 12, and with normal character spacing.

    * Please send two copies of your abstract - one of these should be anonymous and one should include your name, affiliation and email at the top of the page, directly below the title.

    * Please use one of these formats for your abstract: rtf, Word, pdf, or plain text. If you need to use a phonetic font in your abstract, either embed it in a pdf file, or use the SILdoulos93 font, which can be downloaded for free from this site: www.sil.org/computing/fonts/encore-ipa2.html.

    * Please indicate whether you would prefer to present your work as an oral paper or a poster, or whether you would be prepared to present it in either form.

    * If you need technical equipment for your talk, please say so in the message accompanying your abstract and we will do our best to provide it, although this cannot be guaranteed.

    * We aim to finalise the programme, and to contact abstract-senders by mid-March. At present, there are no plans for publishing the general proceedings of the Meeting. We would like to keep the mfm as an informal forum where speakers can air new ideas which are still in the early stages of development.

    **Further important details** concerning abstract submission are available on the conference website - please make sure that you consult these before submitting an abstract: www.englang.ed.ac.uk/mfm/12mfm.html
