GENERAL INFORMATION
The Meeting was organised by the School of English, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, in association with the Poznań College of Modern Languages. The leitmotif of this edition was Language across disciplines: In search of bridge theories.
The honorary patron of PLM 2005 was Rector Magnificus of Adam Mickiewicz University Prof. Stanisław Lorenc.
PLM 2005 was accompanied by a parallel conference: The 2nd Language and Technology Conference: Human Language Technologies as a Challenge for Computer Science and Linguistics, 21-23 April 2005. The L&T Conference is organised by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, AMU, in association with the Infosystem Forum 2005 and PLM 2005.
PLM SESSIONS
The following sessions were held:
(1) A session on morphonology;
(2) A progress report on the Polish Literacy Tutor project;
(3) A session on sociolinguistics/gender studies;
(4) A workshop on "Approaches to language and meaning";
(5) A session on 'exotic' phonetics;
(6) A session on syntax and morphosyntax,
(7) A session on phonology (without the morpho-bit),
(8) A poster session.
Additionally, there was a linguistics vs. technology panel, a joint event of PLM 2005 and L&T'05. The idea of Technology for Linguistics, Linguistics for Technology, chaired by Dafydd Gibbon (Bielefeld), and organised by Katarzyna Dziubalska-Kołaczyk, and Zygmunt Vetulani, was to predict what technology and linguistics may contribute to one another in the nearest future.
Poznań's major local radio station Radio Merkury, and local TV station Telewizja WTK reported on PLM 2005 as the Conference progressed.
