As previously announced, John Benjamins Publishers <br>

a timely response to the growing demand for NLP literature. <br>
The first book of the series which covers Computational <br>
Pragmatics and is edited by H. Bunt and B. Black (see below), <br>
came out several months ago; a volume on Computational<br>
Terminology edited by D. Bourigault, C. Jacquemin and <br>
</font>M.C. L’Homme as well as a monograph on automatic <br>
summarisation <font size=3>by I. Mani will appear soon.<br>
<br>
The editor of the book series is Ruslan Mitkov (R.Mitkov@wlv.ac.uk);
<br>
managing editor at John Benjamins is Kees Vaes
(kees.vaes@benjamins.nl).<br>
