<OT> Phonology in GLOW 2004

Phonology in GLOW 2004
=====================

This year's GLOW Conference will take place in Thessaloniki, Greece on 
April 18-21. It will feature 14 talks on phonology: there is a workshop 
in 'Markedness in Phonology' on Sunday April 18, 2004, and a parallel 
session on phonology within the Main Session (which does not have a 
topic this year) on Monday. There will be a long break in the Monday 
session so that phonologists will be able to attend the invited talk by 
Noam Chomsky in the syntax session.

A full programme for the conference, as well as all the abstracts in 
pdf will soon appear on http://glow.uvt.nl/.  Information on 
registration etc. can be found on http://www.auth.gr/del/GLOW2004/. We 
hope to wellcome many colleagues this year.

Ioanna Kappa, Marc van Oostendorp, Anthi Revithiadou.
