Subject:  Phonology Conference (HILP 5)

Call for papers: The Fifth HIL [Holland Institute of Generative
Linguistics] Phonology Conference (HILP 5) will be held from January
11-13, 2001 at the University of Potsdam, Germany.  It is organized by
the Institute for Linguistics of the Potsdam University and sponsored
by the DFG (Research Group "Conflicting Rules")

deadline for abstracts : 1 October 2000

Abstracts are invited in all areas of phonology, and
particularly on the conference theme:

        Conflicts in Phonology

Since the emergence of constraint-based approaches to phonology,
conflicts and how to resolve them have been an important research
topic. We welcome talks on conflicts between different aspects of
phonology, but also between phonology and other domains of grammar,
like syntax, morphology and semantics.

        Besides the main conference, there will be three workshops.
Workshop themes will be:
        - Intonation in OT
        - Stratification of the lexicon and the phonology of loanwords
        - Language acquisition (with an emphasis on the areas of learnability,
acquisition and typology, and acquisition of stored representations)

Please submit six copies of an abstract of maximally two pages (plus one of
references) before 1 October 2000.
Only one of the abstracts should identify the author and her/his
affiliation. The program will be announced on 1 November.
Selected papers will be published in a reviewed volume of
proceedings. The contents of earlier volumes (HIL Phonology
Papers I, II and III, IV) are listed on the web site:
http://www.leidenuniv.nl/hil/various/publics/publics.htm

Please submit abstracts to:

        HILP 5 Committee
        Institute for Linguistics
        University of Potsdam
        Postfach 501553
        14415 Potsdam
        Germany
