FORUM FOR GERMANIC LANGUAGE STUDIES

Fourth biennial conference - second notice.

The "Forum for Germanic Language Studies" is an association of
university teachers and researchers in the United Kingdom and
Ireland interested in the linguistic study of German and related
Germanic languages (excluding English). It was formed in October
1994 and has since held conferences every two years at venues in
the UK. President is currently Professor Martin Durrell (Department
of German, University of Manchester).

The fourth biennial conference will be held in Manchester on 24-25
November 2000, jointly organised by the University of Manchester,
Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of
Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, with the kind
collaboration of the Goethe Institute Manchester and the Swiss
Consulate Manchester.

The conference will open at 16.00 in the Arts Building, University of
Manchester on Friday 24 November and continue on Saturday 25
November in the Goethe Institute Manchester (09.15 - 16.30),
Churchgate House, Oxford Street, Manchester 1.

Plenary papers:

Professor Dr. Peter Eisenberg (Potsdam), "Zur morphologische
Integration von Fremdwörtern im Deutschen" Professor Dr. Dietmar
Rösler (Gießen), "Zum gegenwärtigen Stand der DaF-Forschung".
It is hoped that a colleague from Switzerland will be able to accept
an invitation to give a further plenary.

Aside from a business meeting on Friday 24 November, when it is
intended that the Forum should be formally constituted as an
association, there will be time for up to 16 papers (in English or
German: 25 minutes delivery, 15 minutes discussion), in two
sessions. All colleagues and postgraduates will be cordially invited
to submit abstracts (at most 300 words) of papers on a linguistic
topic in relation to German or another Germanic language (except
English). These should be sent or (preferably) e-mailed to
Professor Martin Durrell, Department of German, University of
Manchster, Manchester M13 9PL (Martin.Durrell at man.ac.uk) by 1
October 2000.

The conference fee will be £20, which will include the cost of a
buffet lunch in the Goethe Institute on 25 November. Colleagues
wishing to attend should send a sterling cheque for this amount,
made payable to 'University of Manchester', to Martin Durrell by 15
October 2000.

Colleagues who wish to attend the conference and require
accommodation in Manchester for the Friday (and/or Saturday)
night may consult the Manchester University Department of
German website
[ http://www.art.man.ac.uk/german/8mfm/traccomm.htm ] which
contains a list of hotels and guest houses convenient for the
university and the city centre.

The committee of the Forum was elected at the meeting held at the
University of Kent in February 1999 and consists of Barbara Fennell
(Aberdeen), Piklu Gupta (Hull), Ann Lawson (IDS), Cliona Marsh
(UCDublin), Victoria Martin (Oxford), Nicola McLelland (TCDublin),
John Partridge (Kent) and Sheila Watts (Cambridge).

There is at present no formal membership, but an e-mail list of
those known to be working in the field has been compliled from
previous records by Mathias Schulze at UMIST. This notice has
been sent to those at present on this list (and circulated through a
number of mailbases). All colleagues are invited to notify him of any
others (especially postgraduates) who may not have received this
notice directly so that they may be added to the list. Similarly,
anyone who received this notice who does not wish to remain on
the list should notify Mathias Schulze.

Further information may be obtained from any one of the organisers:

Martin Durrell, University of Manchester [Martin.Durrell at man.ac.uk]
Bernd Herhoffer, Manchester Metropolitan University
[b.herhoffer at mmu.ac.uk]  Mathias Schulze, UMIST
[Mathias.Schulze at umist.ac.uk]

We are looking forward to seeing you in Manchester in November
and hearing your paper.
