SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

	From Letter to Sound
        Third International Workshop on Writing Systems
        University of Cologne, Germany, September 23-24, 2002.

        This workshop is the third in a row of international
        meetings dealing with questions of writing systems. The two
        predecessors took place at the Max Planck Institute for
        Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen (Netherlands) under the titles
        'What Spelling Changes' (1997) and 'Writing Language'
        (2000). The workshops offer a forum of discussion between
        researchers from different fields of writing research like
        theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, computational
        linguistics or language education, coming from different
        countries and working on different languages.
        The aim of this workshop is to focus on the
        letter-to-sound-perspective. Especially welcome are
        contributions to the following subjects:

        - How does a theory of orthography have to look like that
        takes written forms as basic (as opposed to a theory that
        derives written forms from spoken forms)?
        - Which aspects of the psycholinguistics of reading are
        capable of explaining the form of writing systems?
        - Which aspects of learning to read are informative for a
        theory of orthography?
        - How can reading be modeled? Both psycholinguistic models
        and computational models for text-to-speech-synthesis may
        reveal the exact relation between reading and writing.

        We plan to publish a selection of papers of the workshop as
        an issue of the journal 'Written Language & Literacy'.

        Submission deadline: March 28, 2002
        Notice of acceptance: May 17, 2002

        INVITED SPEAKERS:
        Charles Perfetti (University of Pittsburgh) (sponsored by
        the Flemish Funding Agency for Scientific Research,
        Scientific Research Community on the theme
        'Psycholinguistics: the Processes of Reading and Writing')
        Richard Venezky (University of Delaware)

        PROGRAM COMMITTEE:
        Martin Neef (German Department, University of Cologne),
        Anneke Neijt (Dutch Department, University of Nijmegen),
        Beatrice Primus (German Department, University of Cologne),
        Dominiek Sandra (Dutch Department, University of Antwerp)

        FORMAT OF SUBMISSIONS: Authors should submit abstracts of
        max. 2 pages for 30 minute presentations, with 15 minutes
        discussion.
        Please submit abstracts electronically (rtf, pdf or Word) to
        neef at uni-koeln.de

        PARTICIPATION: In addition to the speakers, we kindly invite
        researchers who want to attend the workshop without
        presenting a paper themselves. The latter participants
        should register for the workshop at the address above.
        Information on lodging and travel directions, the program
        and the abstracts of the accepted papers will be circulated
        among the participants electronically well before the
        workshop.
