ANNOUNCING A CONFERENCE ON:  MODERN GREEK DIALECTS AND LINGUISTIC THEORY

12-14 October 2000

CALL FOR PAPERS

An international conference on "Modern Greek Dialects and Linguistic
Theory", organised by Angela Ralli (Patras), Mark Janse (Ghent) and
Brian D. Joseph (Columbus, Ohio) will be hosted by the Department
of Philology of The University of Patras from 12-14 October 2000.

Our expectation is that some papers will focus on particular dialects
and the relevance to linguistic theory of phenomena they show, whereas
others will focus on particular issues in linguistic theory and their
interpretation in particular dialects; that is, papers should not be
purely descriptive in their orientation.  Prospective participants are
asked to keep these workshop goals in mind as they prepare their
abstracts.

"Theory" is to be understood broadly here, with no restriction as to
area within linguistics (so that, for instance, speech act theory is
as relevant to the workshop's goals as is syntactic theory) or as to
particular theoretical schools of thought.  Thus we invite abstracts
in any theoretical framework covering any area of linguistic
investigation.

There will be several invited speakers:

Franco Fanciullo (University of Torino)
Eric Hamp (University of Chicago)
Paul Kiparsky and Cleo Condoravdi (Stanford University)
Angeliki Malikouti-Drachman and Gaberell Drachman (University of Salzburg)
Peter Trudgill (University of Fribourg)

as well as speakers selected from submitted abstracts.  In all, eighteen
speakers will each be allotted 40 minutes, 30 minutes for their papers,
followed by 10 minutes of discussion time.

The Workshop will be held in the Conference Center in the Faculty of
Letters at the University of Patras (Rio).

Prospective speakers should send an abstract of approximately 500 words
(2,500 characters) to Janse (for European -- including Greek -- submissions)
or Joseph (for American submissions) before 15 MARCH 2000. Electronic
submission of abstracts is encouraged, but not mandatory (though be sure
to specify values for any special symbols that are used as these do not
always travel well in cyberspace); abstracts should include title, author's
name and affiliation, and both postal and e-mail addresses.

Further details regarding accommodation, meals, and travel will be given
in a second circular.
