		CALL FOR PAPERS and PARTICIPATION

			    Announcing
		       SIGIR 2005 Workshop
				on
	STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF TEXT FOR INFORMATION ACCESS
		http://lingcog.iit.edu/style2005/

			 August 19, 2005
		     Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

HOW something is expressed, as opposed to WHAT is expressed is a
many-faceted and elusive, yet intuitively important and patent
characteristic of human linguistic expression.

This workshop will discuss issues in the automatic analysis and
extraction of stylistic variation of natural language texts --
especially but not exclusively addressing concerns related to
information access.

Major questions include:

    Style in Theory: What is style?

    Style in Engineering: How is style analyzable?

    Style in Applications: What tasks can stylistic information be
    used for?

    Style in Research: What tools and resources do you use, and can
    we use them too?

We encourage submissions from researchers working on all kinds of
style-related problems!

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: May 20
ORGANIZERS: Shlomo Argamon, Jussi Karlgren, Jimi Shanahan
