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. 

NB: 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.

Abstract Submission: 

This mentions only a few details - please consult the website for full
information: http://www.lel.ed.ac.uk/mfm/25mfm.html 

- There is no obligatory conference theme for the 25mfm - abstracts can be

submission. Abstracts should be uploaded to the 25mfm's page on the
EasyAbstracts site by or on 1 March 2017:

and there will be high-profile poster sessions lasting one and a half hours.
When you submit your abstract, you will be asked to indicate whether you would
be prepared to present your work (i) either as a talk or a poster paper or
(ii) only as a poster. 

- We aim to finalise the programme, and to contact abstract-senders by late
March, and we will contact all those who have sent abstracts as soon as the
decisions have been made.

the conference website. Please make sure that you consult these before
