Registration
will begin at 11.30 on
Thursday 28th
May and the conference will finish around 5pm on Saturday 30th May.
Notes for poster-presenters: The poster displays will be set up on the evening before the poster session. Hulme Hall have just told us that we need to order new poster boards for this year. These have the following dimensions: 2.1m high x 1.2m wide. This is somewhat different to what we had been told originally, so do let us know if you think this will be a problem. (We imagine that it shouldn't be a problem, but do let us know if so.) Each person presenting a poster will be provided with the means to affix their posters to the display board. Please feel free to bring handouts with you, so that those viewing your poster also have something to take away. Posters in previous years have taken a wide variety of forms, and there is no one single way to produce a good poster; the important things are that the font size is not too small, that it is easily readable and does not have too much text on it, that it sets out the main points that you want to argue for clearly, and maybe that it's eye catching, too. Some presenters bring one big poster which takes up all the space (we recommend landscape/horizontal, rather than portrait/vertical if you do this), others bring a series of A3 or A4 sheets of paper which can be fitted together on the poster board. During your poster session, you will be asked to stand by your poster (for at least a fair amount of the session) as conference participants walk around the displays, read your posters and ask you questions about them.

Special session
A special themed session entitled 'Syllables' has been organised for Friday 29th May by
members of the organising committee and the advisory board. This will
feature the invited
speakers listed below, and will
also allow for open discussion when contributions from the audience will be
very welcome.
Syllables
Syllables and syllable boundaries - what are they or what should we replace
them with? We are hoping that our invited speakers will address
questions like the following: Does phonology need syllables and/or
syllabic constituents and boundaries? If so, do all languages have
them? If we assume so, how are they interpreted or instantiated in
representational terms? Do they exist in the lexicon? And are syllable
boundaries crisp? If we assume not, what should we do with the kind of
generalisations that have been talked about in syllabic terms?
Furthermore, what are the implications of articulatory studies of
gestural phasing for our understanding of syllables?
