Whamit!

To mark the centenary of Morris Halle’s birth, MIT will host a conference, Morris at 100, on September 8–10, 2023. The conference will consist of contributed posters grouped thematically into sessions on the following topics: evaluation metrics, distinctive features, morphology and the lexicon, rules and rule ordering, stress and meter. Each poster session will begin with an introduction to its theme, in relation to Morris Halle’s work. After each session, there will be a general discussion of the posters in it.

• We invite abstracts for poster presentations on the session topics above: evaluation metrics, distinctive features, morphology and the lexicon, rules and rule ordering, stress and meter. The posters need not be about Halle’s contribution to any of these topics, though such submissions are welcome. Whether connected to Halle’s work or not, we hope the posters will report new results bearing on the conference topics.
• Abstracts must be anonymous. Length is limited to two single-spaced pages (US Letter), figures and references included. Font size should be at least 11-point, with margins of at least one inch (2.54cm) on all sides. Abstracts must be submitted in .pdf format. Submissions are limited to two per author, with at most one submission being single- or primary-authored. More information here: http://m100.mit.edu/callforposters.html.
• The deadline for abstract submission is May 25, 2023 at 11:59 p.m(EDT). Abstract submission is open as of March 30, 2023. Submission should be made via EasyChair:
