ANNOUNCEMENT: HISTLING discussion list
 
HISTLING is a new discussion list dedicated to all aspects of historical
linguistics. It has been established to promote communication between
all those who are interested in any topic concerning language change.
To subscribe to this list, send the following e-mail message to
listserv at univscvm.csd.scarolina.edu:
 
     SUBSCRIBE HISTLING firstname lastname
 
where you enter your names in the appropriate places; leave the subject
line of the message blank.
 
After you subscribe, you will be sent a list of instructions for using
HISTLING.
 
HISTLING is supported by the Computer Services Division at the
University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC and is administered by

Subject:  Another Bibliographic proposal
 
There have been several very sound proposals for how to improve
our way of citing references recently (e.g., to use full first
names rather than just initials).  I wonder if it would also
make sense to use Library of Congress transliterations of non-
Roman-alphabet names and titles, so as to make it easier to find
things.  Of course, as linguists, we pride ourselves on our
own superior transcriptions, but in reality what we have is
a mess, since different authors or editors use different systems,
and unless one knows the language very well, it is sometimes
difficult to find what one is looking for in libraries, as I
have rcently discovered.  It would make sense to use the system
which libraries use and then everything would be simple.

          NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING IN ASIA - MAILING LIST
                            (NLPASIA-L)
 
 The purpose of NLPASIA-L is to provide an international scholarly forum
and central archive to facilitate and co-ordinate the documentation,
research, discussion, and dissemination of information on the computational
processing of languages in Asia. Main topics include:
 
        1. Natural language processing
        2. Computational linguistics
        3. Large scale corpora
        4. Speech processing
        5. Related fields
 
 The scope of discussion includes all aspects of computational processing
in and related to the languages of Asia including: linguistic theories;
linguistic data; databases; tools for language corpora and dictionaries;
systems for language and text processing and generation; algorithms; natural
language interfaces; multi-lingual systems; spelling checkers; parsing;
lexical and semantic analysis; pragmatics; discourse; knowledge
representation; machine translation; optical character recognition; font
design; speech recognition; speech synthesis; etc.
