Linguistic Field(s): Phonology 

Meeting Description: 

The mfm is the UK's annual phonology conference, with an international set of
organisers. It is held in late May every year in Manchester (central in the
UK, and with excellent international transport connections). 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.

Registration/booking is now open for the 24mfm. Everyone who would like to
attend needs to book and pay in advance. The deadline for booking is 15 May.
All details are on the website, which also has a full programme for the
conference:

The special session at the 24mfm is entitled 'Evidence in phonology', and
features (in alphabetical order): 

- William Idsardi (University of Maryland) 
- Janet Pierrehumbert (University of Oxford) 
- Sharon Rose (University of California, San Diego) 

Discussant: 
- Adam Albright (MIT) 

NB: there will also be a FRINGE workshop on the afternoon of Wednesday 25 May,
timed to coincide with the mfm, entitled 'Computation and learnability in
phonological theory' - details of this can be found here:

which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department

returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.
