		CALL FOR PAPERS


The Linguistic Association of Finland organizes a workshop


          PROSODY AND GRAMMAR IN INTERACTION

      to be held at the University of Helsinki
		August 13-15, 1997


The workshop provides an opportunity for researchers of prosody and
grammar to discuss issues such as the following: What kind of interplay is
there between prosody and grammar? Is it possible to study the grammar of
spoken language without taking prosody into account? Are syntactic and
prosodic units related to each other? How do lexicon and meaning
participate in producing prosody? What is the relationship between
prosody, syntax of utterances and interactional meaning of utterances?
What is the role of prosody in constituting different kinds of
conversational activities? What kind of impact does prosody have on
turn-taking in conversation? What kind of physiological and acoustic
factors do prosodic features emerge from?
