Theme Issue on
Interactive Natural Language Processing
Computer has planned to devote the July 1996 issue to Interactive
Natural Language Processing. Manuscripts reporting survey, original
research, design and development, and applications of Interactive
Natural Language Processing are sought immediately in the following
areas:
+ Speech Understanding and Generation Platforms
+ Natural Language Interfaces and User Interface Management Systems
+ Dialog/Discourse Management and Story Understanding Environments
+ Interactive Machine Translation systems (and Translator's Workbenches)
+ Intelligent Writing Agents
Papers on successful large-scale natural language processing systems,
integrated speech and natural language understanding applications,
dialog management and story understanding systems, and toolbeds for
developing such applications are especially desired.
The particular focus of this theme issue is the special considerations
in theory and practice of "real-time" processing of natural language as
opposed to "batch-mode" processing. How do the theoretical and
processing assumptions differ when the input stream is "live", thus
increasing the emphasis on response time and throughput? What are the
trade-offs? What are the mechanisms (symbolic, statistical,
connectionist, hybrid)? Finally, what are the strategies that enable
interactive natural language processing to either be effected or
finessed?
Instructions for Submitting Manuscripts:
Manuscripts should be no longer than 20 double spaced, single sided
pages, including all text, figures, and references. No more than 12
references should be cited. Papers must not have been previously
published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts
should have a title page that includes: the title of the paper, full
name, affiliation, physical address, electronic address, and telephone
numbers of all of the authors, a 100 to 150 word abstract, and, a list
of keywords that identify the central issues of the manuscript's
content.
Deadlines:
+ 100 to 150 word abstract of the manuscript September 19, 1995
+ Seven copies of the manuscript December 19, 1995
+ Notification of decisions April 1996
+ Final version of the manuscript May 14, 1996
+ Date of special issue July 1996

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR APPLIED LINGUISTICS
(AAAL)
Annual Meeting, March 23-26, 1996,
Chicago, Illinois
Conference Theme: DISCOURSE COMMUNITIES
Program Chair: Elinor Ochs, UCLA
Throughout the life span, people participate
in multiple communities which are defined to a
great extent by discourse practices. Discourse
knowledge and praxis are essential to establishing
membership in families, peer groups, classrooms,
neighborhoods, professions, intellectual paradigms,
religions, ethnic and other culturally significant
groups. Given the linguistic and social
heterogeneity of societies today, people find
themselves participating in sometimes overlapping,
sometimes disconnected social worlds. The 1996
American Association for Applied Linguistics
Conference brings together psychological, socio-
cultural, and linguistic insights into how
discourse is organized, socialized, acquired, and
assessed within and across such worlds.

ALL PAPERS IN THE LARGER FIELD OF APPLIED
LINGUISTICS ARE WELCOME, but submissions addressing
the conference theme are strongly encouraged.
ABSTRACTS are invited for individual papers and
colloquia on topics in applied linguistics,
including language acquisition and socialization,
discourse analysis, psycholinguistics,
sociolinguistics, second and foreign language
pedagogy, literacy, language for specific purposes,
assessment, language policy and planning, rhetoric
and stylistics, translation and interpretation.
INDIVIDUAL PAPERS will be 20 minutes long,
with 10 minutes for discussion. Send 3 copies of a
typed double-spaced abstract no more than 250 words
long. In the upper left-hand corner of the first
