Subject:  Creole Phonology and Morphology

                                        FINAL, updated

                                    CALL FOR PAPERS


                                    International Workshop
                                               on the
                   Phonology and Morphology of Creole Languages

                                     August 22-24, 2001

                               University of Siegen, Germany


Until very recently, phonology and morphology have been neglected
areas in the study of creole languages. Available phonological studies
were largely  confined to segmental aspects, and morphology was
generally held to be  marginal in these languages, if not totally absent.
Some more recent studies have shown, however, that the investigation
of creole phonology and morphology is of considerable importance for
the field of creole studies, both  theoretically and empirically. The aim of
this workshop is to bring together scholars working on these problems
to discuss creole phonology and morphology in a pleasant atmosphere.

(A more detailed call for papers mentioning more specific research
questions to be addressed at the workshop is available at the
workshop's web-site, URL given below)

Invited speakers:

Anne-Marie Brousseau (University of Toronto)
Hubert Devonish (University of the West Indies, Jamaica)
Claire Lefebvre (Université du Quebec à Montréal)
John McWhorter (University of Berkeley)
Norval Smith (Universiteit van Amsterdam)

There will be 20-24 slots for papers. Each paper will be
allotted 25 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion. We
are planning a half-day excursion for Thursday, August 23, so that an
informal gathering of creolists will be possible.

The workshop is organized by Prof. Ingo Plag, Chair in English
Linguistics, University of Siegen.

Accomodation:
All paper presenters will be provided free accomodation in a centrally
located hotel.

Abstracts:
Send in three anonymous copies of your abstract (for review) and one
copy including your name, mailing address, e-mail address, fax and
telephone number via regular mail to the address given below. In
addition, provide an  electronic version of your abstract, either as a disk
accompanying the hard  copies, or via e-mail. Abstracts should not
exceed a maximum length
of one  1 page, 1.5-spaced.

The deadline for the receipt of abstracts is

             March 1, 2001.

Acceptance notices will be sent out no later than April 15, 2001.

Send your abstract to the following address:
