Meeting Description:

The mfm is the UK's annual phonology conference, with an international set of
organisers. Anyone who declares themselves to be interested in phonology can
submit an abstract on anything phonological in any phonological framework. It
has been held in late May every year since 1993, although it had to be
cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19. We are now determined to hold some kind of
mfm in 2021. The mfm has long been a truly international meeting, with
participation from all inhabited continents, and we intend to run a conference
in 2021 that is still open to the world.

There will be no Special Session this year in the conventional mfm sense. We
have decided not to have invited speakers at all at the 28mfm, given that it
will in all likelihood need to be online. The mfm organisers are keen to
organise some special events during the conference, including opportunities
for people to chat with each other informally, and we will advertise these
when the programme is announced.

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.

the decisions have been made.
