Linguistic Field(s): Phonology 

Meeting Description: 

The mfm is the UK's annual phonology conference, with an international set of
organisers. It is held in late May every year in Manchester (central in the
UK, and with excellent international transport connections). The meeting has
become a key conference for phonologists from all over the world, where anyone
who declares themselves to be interested in phonology can submit an abstract
on anything phonological in any phonological framework. In an informal
atmosphere, we discuss a broad range of topics, including the phonological
description of languages, issues in phonological theory, aspects of
phonological acquisition and implications of phonological change.

Special session: 'Typology and Phonological Theory', featuring (in
alphabetical order): 

- Birgit Alber (Universita di Verona)
- Juliette Blevins (Graduate Center, City University of New York)
- Mark Donohue (Australian National University)

Held at Hulme Hall, Manchester, England. Organised through a collaboration of
phonologists at the University of Edinburgh, the University of Manchester, and
elsewhere. 

There will also be a FRINGE workshop on the afternoon of Wednesday 24 May,
timed to coincide with the mfm, organised by the Phonological Theory Agora. 
The topic will be 'Ternarity in English'. Details of this are available here:
