Following the huge success of the first DCU International Postgraduate

on April 1st and 2nd 2005 and again is open to all young researchers doing
work in translation studies. The conference is designed to provide a
supportive environment for emerging scholars and an opportunity to meet
others who are conducting research in the field. There will be several
established translation studies scholars and guest speakers in attendance
to provide feedback and advice to delegates. Conference fees will be kept
to a minimum to encourage widespread participation. 

The conference is open to:
a) those engaged in PhD research in translation studies
b) those who have completed their Master's research and who intend pursuing
translation studies at doctoral level
c) those who have only recently completed their doctoral studies.

Delegates are invited to submit abstracts from all areas relating to
translation studies, including fields such as contrastive linguistics,
terminography and lexicography, translation and gender, literary
translation, translation theory, translation technologies, interpreting
studies, localization, audiovisual translation, Bible and religious
translation, translator and interpreter training, history of translation,
corpus-based translation studies, translation and cultural studies,
translation and human rights, etc.

Papers should be no longer than 20 minutes, and will be followed by 10
minutes of questions. Abstracts of not more than 300 words should be
submitted to John Kearns (kearns at pro.onet.pl) by January 15th 2005.
Candidates will be encouraged to speak about their topics rather than
reading directly from a prepared script. 

Selected papers will be published in a special edition of the new, on-line,
peer-reviewed journal New Voices in Translation Studies, published in
association with the International Association of Translation and
Intercultural Studies and DCU Centre for Translation and Textual Studies.

Delegates will also have reference access to the extensive collection of
translation studies literature in DCU Library for the duration of the
conference.

Subject: Conference on Manner Alternations in Phonology 

Full Title: Conference on Manner Alternations in Phonology 

Date: 23-Jun-2005 - 25-Jun-2005
Location: Berlin, Germany 
Contact Person: Marzena Zygis
Meeting Email: cmap at zas.gwz-berlin.de
Web Site: http://www.zas.gwz-berlin.de

Linguistic Field(s): Phonetics; Phonology 

Call Deadline: 08-Apr-2005 

Meeting Description:

The topic of this conference is the category manner in phonology, i.e.
(traditional) features such as [nasal], [lateral], [continuant], [strident], as
well as processes which alter these features. Manner features are necessary to
distinguish classes of sounds such as stops, affricates, fricatives, nasals,
laterals, as well as lesser understood sounds such as rhotics. Manner categories
are also instrumental in defining what is meant by sonority.

The two invited speakers are:
Wolfgang Kehrein, Phillips Universitaet Marburg
Moira Yip, University College London

In addition to these speakers there will be slots for approximately 15 papers.
While abstracts are invited on papers dealing with any aspect dealing with
manner in phonology, papers dealing with the following topics are of particular
interest:

1. Phonological processes (synchronic or diachronic) which alter manner features
and their phonetic and/or phonological motivation

2. Connection between manner features and other features (e.g. place,
laryngeal, major class)

3. Connection between manner changes and prosodic structure (e.g. processes
motivated by the syllable contact law, definitions of sonority)

4. Features for rhotics (i.e. central approximants, trills, taps/flaps)

5. Phonetic correlates for manner features

Papers will be 30 minutes, followed by 10 minutes discussion. Deadline for
submission of abstracts is 8 April 2005. Notification of acceptance for program
by 30 April. There will be no conference fees. Please submit electronically an
anonymous, two page abstract (pdf, word or rtf) to:

cmap at zas.gwz-berlin.de

Please indicate the authors name and affiliation in the email.
