          Ninth International Phonology Meeting
                 "Structure and Melody"
          First announcement and call for papers
                1-3 November 2002, Vienna

The Ninth International Phonology Meeting will be held from
1-3 November 2002 in Vienna, Austria. Like the previous
meeting in 1996, it will have a general theme.
The choice of the theme "Structure and Melody" reflects the
current concern of many phonologists about the relationship
between prosody and syllable / foot / word structure on the
one hand and the melodic content of segmental skeletal
positions within those structures.

Topics
Under the general theme of "Structure and Melody" there will
be 3 topics:
  1. Syllable structure and melody
  2. Prosody and melody
  3. Acoustic, cognitive and computational issues

The invited speakers are (alphabetically):
   Monik Charette, Grzegorz Dogil, Larry Hyman
   Nancy Ritter, Grazyna Rowicka, Péter Szigetvári

Papers
There will be 6 main papers by invited speakers (45 min.
presentation and 15 min. discussion) and up to 30 section
papers (20 min. presentation and 10 min. discussion), for
which we invite the submission of abstracts. All papers will
be plenary.

Abstracts
Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously. Please submit one
non-anonymous max. one-page camera-ready original of your
abstract for a 20-minute paper to the snailmail or email
address given at the end of this announcement, and indicate
which topic you are submitting for. Abstracts should be in
Times (New) (Roman) 12pt, paper size A4, with all margins
set to 1" (2.54 cm). Preferred electronic formats: MS Word
(.doc or .rtf), PostScript or PDF. Please either use
SILIPA93 phonetic fonts or save your document with the fonts
embedded.

        Deadline for abstracts: 30th April 2002

The abstracts will be available via
http://www.univie.ac.at/linguistics/conferences/phon02/ and in
printed form at registration.

Workshops
We encourage afternoon / evening workshops or discussion
groups on any phonological topic to be held on Sat. 2nd Nov.
(only!). Workshops will be in complementary distribution.
Please write or e-mail if you wish to organise one.
Currently one workshop is planned, on The Phonology of
African Languages (organised by Rose-Juliet Anyanwu & John
Rennison).

Fee
The conference fee is 50 Euros (ca. U.S.$45), payable in cash,
in Euros at registration (EUR 25 for students). The fee
includes the abstracts volume, tea, (real) coffee & biscuits
during breaks, drinks at registration on 31 Oct. and an
evening reception with buffet on 1st or 2nd November. There
is no pre-payment because of the horrendous banking charges.

The address for pre-registration (to receive further
circulars) and for abstracts is:
