Dear colleagues,
As presiding officer of the Linguistics Session of the 1995
Annual Meeting of the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language
Association (formerly PAPC), I would like to invite sub-
missions of abstracts on any topic of linguistic research.
The meeting will be held November 3-5 at UC Santa Barbara,
and presentors must be PAMLA members.
Brief abstracts can be submitted to me until April 1.
Since Linguistics usually comes up short at such meetings,
support from linguists in language and linguistics
departments would be especially appreciated. If you
can't submit an abstract, please consider attending.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Thomas F. Shannon
Professor, Germanic Linguistics, UC Berkeley
Presiding Officer, Linguistics Session, 1995 PAMLA

International Conference
"RECENT ADVANCES IN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING"
14-16 September 1995
Velingrad, Bulgaria
TOPICS OF INTEREST:
Papers reporting on recent advances in all aspects of Natural Language
Processing and Language Engineering are invited, including but not
limited to: pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax, and the lexicon;
phonetics, phonology, and morphology; text understanding and
generation; multilingual NLP, machine translation, machine-aided
translation, translation aids and tools; corpus-based language
processing; written and spoken natural language interfaces; knowledge
acquisition; text summarization; computer-assisted language learning;
language resources; evaluation, assessment and standards in language
engineering; and theoretical and application-oriented papers related
to NLP of every kind.
The conference welcomes also new results in NLP based on modern
alternative theories and methodologies to the mainstream techniques of
symbolic NLP such as analogy-based, statistical, connectionist as well
as hybrid and multimedia approaches.
In view of the recent explosion of the use of on-line language
resources the conference especially welcomes contributions in the area
of language engineering.
