OT in the Nordic languages: CFP

[Kersti Borjars]

Workshop at the 18th Scandinavian Conference of Linguistics
Lund 18-20 May 2000


Optimality-theoretic approaches to Scandinavian languages

Keynote speakers: Peter Sells, Stanford
                  Sten Vikner, Stuttgart

This workshop will be devoted to papers in OT discussing phenomena in the
Nordic languages, widely understood to comprise Danish, Faroese,
Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Sami and Swedish. We invite contributions
dealing with phonology, syntax and/or semantics.

Each talk is allotted 20 minutes + 10 minutes for discussion. Abstracts
should not exceed two pages, including examples. Since the organisers
intend to post the abstracts on the conference website we prefer to receive
abstracts electronically.

Phonology abstracts should be sent to <tomas.riad at nordiska.su.se>
Syntax and semantics abstracts should be sent to
<elisabet.engdahl at svenska.gu.se>

Deadline for receipt of abstracts is January 15, 2000.
