We are pleased to announce the second annual (but first full-scale) meeting of the Northwest Phonetics & Phonology Conference (NoWPhon), to be held May 13-15, 2016 at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon. This meeting is intended to be an informal gathering of researchers in the Northwestern region of North America working in all areas of phonetics and phonology, broadly defined. We invite submissions of abstracts for both oral talks and posters on all topics in theoretical, descriptive, computational, and experimental phonetics and phonology. Abstract submission is open to all researchers in the region, but students are especially encouraged to submit (in consultation with their relevant professors).
Abstracts are due by midnight (Pacific time) on April 5, 2016.
Abstract submission will be conducted online via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nowphon2).
We’re happy to say that we are able to offer a small number of travel awards for the best student abstracts. Please indicate when submitting your abstract whether you would like to be considered for this award. (Undergraduate and graduate students are eligible.)
Abstracts should be no more than 1 page in 12 pt. font with 1-inch margins, with an optional second page for references. At the top of the abstract, please put: the title of the paper, author name(s) and affiliation(s), and author e-mail address. Submissions should be in .pdf (preferred) or .doc format; please ensure that all phonetic fonts are embedded (if relevant). Submitters will be able to specify in EasyChair whether they would prefer an oral presentation or a poster presentation. We will attempt to provide everyone with their preferred presentation format but the number of oral presentation slots may be limited, as there will not be parallel sessions.
Notification of acceptances and scheduling will be issued by mid-April. Please direct any questions to Melissa Baese-Berk at mbaesebe@uoregon.edu.
You can contact Melissa using the form below. The ‘website’ line is optional. Note: the e-mail and form are for questions, NOT abstracts.
