BACKGROUND
We are pleased to announce our Thirteenth Manchester Phonology Meeting (13mfm).
The mfm is the UK's annual phonology conference; it is held in late May every
year in Manchester (central in the UK and easily accessible from the whole of
the country, and with excellent international transport connections), and is
organised by people in various parts of the country, and abroad. For the past
twelve years, this meeting has been a key conference for phonologists from all
corners of the world, where anyone who declares themselves to be interested in
phonology can submit an abstract on anything phonological. In an informal
atmosphere, we discuss a wide range of topics, including the phonological
description of a wide variety of languages, issues in phonological theory,
aspects of phonological acquisition and implications of phonological change. 

SPECIAL SESSION
There is no conference theme - abstracts can be submitted on anything, but,
following the success of such sessions in previous years, a special themed
session has been organised, entitled 'What is a phonological fact?'. This will
feature invited speakers and conclude in an open discussion session when
contributions from the audience will be very welcome. Abstracts which attempt to
answer this question (from any perspective) are certainly also welcome.

SPECIAL SESSION SPEAKERS (in alphabetical order)
* Juliette Blevins (Max Planck Institute, Leipzig, Germany) 
* Bruce Hayes (UCLA, USA)
* Charles Reiss (Concordia University, Canada)

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
**This is a summary - please consult the website for full details**
http://www.englang.ed.ac.uk/mfm/13mfm.html

* There is no obligatory conference theme - abstracts can be submitted on
anything. Abstracts should be sent to Patrick Honeybone as attachments to an
email (patrick.honeybone at ed.ac.uk) by 28th February 2005.

* Abstracts should be no longer than one side of A4, with 2.5cm or one inch
margins, single-spaced, with a font size no smaller than 12, and with normal
character spacing. 

* Please send two copies of your abstract - one of these should be anonymous and
one should include your name, affiliation and email at the top of the page,
directly below the title. All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by members
of the organising committee and advisory board.

* Please use one of these formats for your abstract: pdf, Word, rtf, or plain
text. If you need to use a phonetic font in your abstract, either embed it in a
pdf file, or use the SIL IPA93 Doulos font, which can be downloaded for free
from this site:
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=encore-ipa. 

* Full papers will last around 25 minutes with around 10 minutes for questions,
and there will be a high-profile poster session lasting one and a half hours.
Please indicate whether you would prefer to present your work as an oral paper
or a poster, or whether you would be prepared to present it in either form.

* If you need technical equipment for your talk, please say so in the message
accompanying your abstract and we will do our best to provide it, although this
cannot be guaranteed. 

* We aim to finalise the programme, and to contact abstract-senders by late
March. At present, there are no plans for publishing the general proceedings of
the Meeting. We would like to keep the mfm as an informal forum where speakers
can air new ideas which are still in the early stages of development.

**Further important details** concerning abstract submission are available on
the conference website - please make sure that you consult these before
submitting an abstract: http://www.englang.ed.ac.uk/mfm/13mfm.html

The Conferences of series ''Cognitive Modeling'' has being held with success
since 1998. In 2000 a title was specified as ''Cognitive Modeling in
Linguistics''. In 1998 and 2000 the conferences were held as part of the
National Conference for Artificial Intelligence (CAI). In 2001- as a part of the
International Congress for Artificial Intelligence (ICAI-2001), which took place
in Divnomorskoe. In 2002 the conference was hold in Divnomorskoe also as a part
of the IEEE International Conference ''Artificial Intelligence Systems'' (IEEE
AIS'02). In 2003 and 2004 the conference took place in Varna (Bulgaria).

The aim of the conference is an integration of efforts of specialists in
cognitive psychology, learning theory, neural networks, cognitive linguistics,
knowledge engineering, semiotics, psycholinguistics etc. in investigation of
cognitive processing of language information.

Conference Location

The VIIIth International Conference "Cognitive Modeling in Linguistics - 2005"
will be held in Varna at the base of Konstantin Preslavski University of Shumen
(Bulgaria) near the oldest Bulgarian Black Sea resort of St. St. Constantine and
