------------------------

BACKGROUND
We are pleased to announce the plans for our Nineteenth Manchester
Phonology Meeting (19mfm). 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.

------------------------

SPECIAL SESSION
There is no conference theme - abstracts can be submitted on anything,
but a special themed session has been organised for Friday afternoon,
entitled 'Contrast in Phonology'. This will feature the invited
speakers listed below (in alphabetical order) and will conclude in an
open discussion session when contributions from the audience will be
very welcome.

* Paul Boersma (University of Amsterdam)
* B. Elan Dresher (University of Toronto)
* Bruce Morén-Duolljá (CASTL, University of Tromsø)
* Jaye Padgett (UC Santa Cruz)
