We invite abstracts for poster presentations

3rd ICPP features the following three main topics:

　　　　　(a)　sokuon, or geminate consonants　　
　　　　　(b)　accent and tone
　　　　　(c)　rendaku and voicing

Your abstract must involve at least one of the three main topics. If it does, any presentation is welcome even if your presentation is not concerned with Japanese. There will be a special session on tonal change. Abstracts on this topic will be particularly welcome.

Oral presentations will be by invitation only. We will not be accepting abstracts for oral presentations.
