We are also pleased to announce that there will be a pre-conference Workshop on Licensing, starting at 10 a.m. on Thursday 31st October 2002. There will be no presentations, but just a brief introduction by Harry van der Hulst, sketching the history of licensing in phonology, followed by discussion. All conference participants are invited to come along.
The Mayor of Vienna has kindly invited all conference participants to a reception (with buffet) in the Town Hall at 7 p.m. on Friday, 1st November 2002. Please make sure you arrive before 7 p.m. -- most of us will walk there together after the last session of the afternoon.
About the Meeting
The Ninth International Phonology Meeting will be held from 1-3 November 2002
in Vienna, Austria. Like the previous meeting in 1996, it will have a general
theme.
The choice of the theme "Structure and Melody" reflects the current
concern of many phonologists about the relationship between prosody and syllable
/ foot / word structure on the one hand and the melodic content of skeletal
positions within those structures.
Topics
Under the general theme of "Structure and Melody" there will be 3 topics:
1. Syllable structure and melody
2. Prosody and melody
3. Acoustic, cognitive and computational issues
The invited speakers are (alphabetically):
Grzegorz Dogil, Patrick Honeybone, Larry Hyman
Nancy Ritter, Grazyna Rowicka, Péter Szigetvári
Workshops
As mentioned above, we encourage participants to organise further afternoon / evening workshops or discussion groups on any phonological topic to be held on Sat. 2nd Nov. (only!). Workshops will be in complementary distribution. Please write or e mail if you wish to organise one. Currently two workshop is planned, on The Phonology of African Languages (organised by Rose-Juliet Anyanwu & John Rennison) and on Templates (organised by Jean Lowenstamm and Tobias Scheer).
Fee
The conference fee is € 50 (ca. U.S. $50), payable in cash, in Euros at registration (€ 25 for students). Participants from countries who need an entry visa for Austria pay no conference fee. The fee includes the abstracts volume, tea, (real) coffee & biscuits during breaks, drinks at registration on 31 Oct. and an evening reception with buffet on 1 November. There is no pre-payment because of the horrendous banking charges.
