We'd appreciate your limiting conference announcements to 150 lines,
so that we can post more than 1 per issue.  Please consider omitting
information useful only to attendees, such as information on housing,
transportation, or rooms and times of sessions.  Please do not use
abbreviations or acronyms for your conference unless you explain
them in your text.  Many people outside your area of specialization
will not recognize them.   Thank you for your cooperation.

The  LACL  conferences
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first edition of the LACL conference, which was held in Nancy in
September 1996, was very successful.This proves that there is a
growing interest in the use of logic in natural language processing,
both for syntactic and semantic models. LACL'97 will continue to bring
together linguists, logicians, philosophers and computer scientists
around this theme in order to present the latest results and to
discuss the different approaches.

Subject:  19th Annual Conf of the Cognitive Science Society



The Nineteenth Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society will
be held at Stanford University August 7-10, 1997. This year's meeting
will run four days. In addition to research talks and poster sessions,
the conference will include eight half-day symposia on selected topics
such as Distributed Cognition, Semantics, Spatial Cognition, Cognitive
Neuroscience, Scientific Discovery, Social Cognition, Language
Acquisition, and Motor Behavior. Each symposium will run for half a
day, and will include two survey talks by senior scientists and two
invited research talks describing recent advances in the area.

For information about registration and housing, see the conference web
site at

	http://www-csli.stanford.edu/cogsci97/cogsci97.html

which also contains information about other aspects of the
meeting. The conference web site includes both postscript and
electronic versions of the registration and housing form. We look
forward to seeing you at Stanford this August.
