Second Call for Papers

Old World Conference in Phonology I

A three-day conference at Leiden University, hosted by the Leiden
Centre for Linguistics on January 9-11, 2003, partly devoted to the
special theme of segmental phonology.

Dates: 9-11 January, 2003 (Thursday-Saturday)

Keynote speakers: G.N. Clements (CNRS, Paris) (confirmed) and Aditi

Call for papers
We invite abstracts in all areas of phonology, and particularly on the
conference theme:

Segmental phonology

The phonological segment is one of the oldest traditional topics of
study, yet many questions remain unresolved. How abstract is the
internal structure of the phonological segment? What is the status of
feature geometry, for instance, or the phonological skeleton in more
recent constraint-based frameworks? What is the current consensus on
the set of distinctive features?

Besides the main conference, there will be room for two workshops, one
dealing with nasality, headed by Prof. G.N. Clements and Prof. W.L.
Wetzels (Free University of Amsterdam), and the other dealing with the
relation between diachronic and synchronic evidence in phonology.
Abstract submissions in these two areas are especially welcome.

During the conference there will also be a business meeting at which
the future of phonology conferences in Europe will be discussed.

Please submit six copies of an abstract for a 30 minute presentation
of maximally two pages before September 15, 2002. Only one of the
abstracts should identify the author and her/his affiliation. The
program will be announced on or before October 15.

We plan to publish a book on the topic of segmental phonology,
including selected papers presented during the conference.

Please submit abstracts to:

    Jeroen van de Weijer
    OCP 1
    ULCL/ATW
    P.O. Box 9515
    2300 RA  Leiden
    The Netherlands

Abstracts submitted by e-mail (PDF or Word) before September 15 will
be considered on the condition that a hard copy follows within a week.
Submissions by email should go to Jeroen van de Weijer
(j.m.van.de.weijer at let.leidenuniv.nl).
