<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000066"><font size=+0>COLING
2000 will provide the foremost opportunity at the beginning of the new
millenium to exchange original research papers on a very broad range of
topics in computational linguistics. Accordingly, the program committee
now solicits suitable hitherto unpublished contributions of high quality
on every aspect of the field.</font></font></font>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000066"><font size=+0>In
line with the practice established in previous COLING conferences, authors
will be asked to place their submission in one of two categories:</font></font></font>
<ul>
<li type="1">
<font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000066"><font size=+0>Regular
papers, of not more than seven pages, presenting results of original completed
research, and</font></font></font></li>
<li type="1">
<font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000066"><font size=+0>Project
notes, of five pages or less, describing ongoing research or demonstrating
a system.</font></font></font></li>
</ul>
<font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000066"><font size=+0>All
papers should describe original work, completed or in progress, rather
than merely planned, and clearly indicate the current state of advancement
of the work. No previously published papers should be submitted. Simultaneous
submission to other conferences is allowed provided it is explicitly indicated
on the identification page.</font></font></font>
