Travel Support for the VIth Conference on Laboratory Phonology, York University, U.K., Summer, 1998

这项资助是为参加1998年7月2日至4日在英国约克大学举行的第六届实验室音韵学会议的10名美国研究人员提供旅费补贴。两年一次的实验室音韵学会议是一个重要的国际交流理论观点和最新研究成果的论坛，这些研究集中在使用实验方法来回答有关特定语言的音韵学结构的问题，以及关于一般语言语音结构的本质。将于今年夏天举行的会议有望将国际学者聚集在一起，讨论几个对当前音系理论发展至关重要的主题。美国国家科学基金会的支持将使美国与会者能够展示广泛的当前研究成果，以便与欧洲听众进行批评和讨论，反过来也将使美国学者能够接触到历史上有些不同的英国和大陆语音和语言传统的当前发展。

This grant awards travel funds to subsidize the airfare for 10 U.S. researchers to participate in the VIth Conference on Laboratory Phonology, to be held at York University, United Kingdom, July 2-4, 1998. The biennial Conference on Laboratory Phonology has been an important forum for international exchange of theoretical views and recent research results that focus on the use of experimental methodology in answering questions about the phonological structure of particular languages, and about the nature of linguistic sound structuring in general. The conference to be held this summer promises to bring together international scholars around several topics which are critical in the current development of phonological theory. NSF support will enable American conferees to present a broad range of current research for criticism and discussion with a European audience, and in turn will allow American scholars to be exposed to current developments in the historically somewhat different British and Continental phonetic and linguistic traditions.
