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: 'Is there lexically-specific phonology?', featuring (in
alphabetical order) the following invited speakers: 

- Claire Moore-Cantwell (Simon Fraser University & UBC)
- Jennifer L. Smith (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)
- Jochen Trommer (Universitaet Leipzig)

Invited discussant:

- Ricardo Bermudez-Otero (University of Manchester)

The mfm is organised through a collaboration of phonologists at the University
of Edinburgh, the University of Manchester, and elsewhere. 

NB: there will also be a separately-organised Fringe Workshop on Wednesday
22nd May entitled 'Teaching phonology: the state of the art', organised by
Yuni Kim, Elisabeth Zsiga and Patrick Honeybone.


2nd Call for Papers:

This mentions only a few details - please consult the website for full
information: http://www.lel.ed.ac.uk/mfm/27mfm.html

- There is no obligatory conference theme for the 27mfm - abstracts can be
submitted on anything phonological.

- We are using the Linguist List's EasyAbstracts system for abstract
submission. Abstracts should be uploaded to the 27mfm's page on the
EasyAbstracts site by 28 January 2019:

http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/27mfm

- Full papers will last around 25 minutes with around 5 minutes for questions,
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 either as a talk or a poster paper or only as
a poster.

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

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.lel.ed.ac.uk/mfm/27mfm.html
