Subject:  Symposium on Estonian Prosody
 
 
                Symposium on Estonian Prosody
 
Aim:    to provide an opportunity for scholars who have been
        interested in Estonian prosody to meet each other and
        discuss their theories and findings.
 
Purpose: to see if it is possible to arrive at some kind of
        consensus as to what the Estonian three-way quantity
        system really means: what is its phonetic
        manifestation, which of several interpretations is most
        reasonable, and what can it contribute to linguistic
        theory.
 
Time:   October 29-30, 1996.
 
Place:  Institute of Estonian Language (Eesti Keele Instituut),
        Tallinn, Estonia.
 
Format: there will be four sessions of invited papers and a
        concluding panel.  Each paper will be followed by
        discussion.  Others besides the invited speakers are
        welcome to attend the symposium (upon payment of a
        small registration fee) and participate in the
        discussions. If you are interested in attending the
        symposium, please contact Jaan Ross before May l5,
        l996 (address below).
 
Language: the language of the conference will be English.
 
Publication: it is planned to prepare and publish a bilingual
        volume containing the presented papers, to appear in
        l997.  The printed version of the papers may be longer
        than the actual presentations;  they will be provided
        with an extensive (approximately five-page) summary in
        the other language.  The volume will be edited by
        Ilse Lehiste.
