General information

The Old World Conference in Phonology (OCP) is a European event, intended to be held every other year. OCP will provide a platform to phonologists of all theoretical convictions and other researchers interested in phonological theory. The OCP aspires to alternate with the North American Phonology Conference (NAPhC). OCP also complements the annual Manchester Phonology Meeting.

Based on expressions of interest at OCP1, future prospective venues for OCP Meetings include Rhodes/Crete, Berlin/Potsdam, London, Lille and Utrecht/Leiden/Amsterdam. An informal 'steering group' has been set up, which will consist of the organizers of the previous OCP, together with those of the next one. At present, this means that the following phonologists are in this informal committee at present: Patrick Bye & Curt Rice (Tromsø), Jeroen van de Weijer (Leiden), Marc van Oostendorp (Meertens Institute, Amsterdam).
