<OT> Calls: 6th NWCL Conference - Prosody and Pragmatics

[Carlos Gussenhoven]

International  Conference on Tone and Intonation
Santorini (Greece), 9-11 September 2004
ESF Network Tone and Intonation in Europe
***

Abstracts are invited for the International Conference on Tone and
Intonation, to be held at the Santorini Image Hotel in Massaria (Santorini,
Greece), 9-11 September 2004. The conference is the closing event of a
three-year scientific exchange programme funded by the European Science
Foundation as the Network ‘Tone and Intonation in Europe’ (TIE). The aim of
the network has been to stimulate and coordinate research on the prosody of
European languages and language varieties, with special emphasis on languages
that feature lexical tone. The workshops have been devoted to tonogenesis,
experimental procedures, and typology, and have attempted to embed the
discussion of the European languages in a global typological perspective.

The conference intends to close off the Network programme  in the same
spirit, and will thus include contributions dealing with European as well as
non-European languages. While there will be a preference for papers on the
interaction between intonation and lexical tone,  typologically, historically
and psycholinguistically oriented work, including brain imaging research, on
either tone or intonation is welcomed.
