COMPUTATIONAL PHONOLOGY
Third Meeting of the ACL Special Interest Group in Computational Phonology
SIGPHON 97
In conjunction with ACL'97/EACL'97 Joint Conference Madrid, Spain,
12th [or possibly 11th] July 1997
The workshop will be devoted to all areas of computation, as applied
to contemporary phonology. Papers will be on substantial, original,
and unpublished research on any aspect of computational phonology,
including (but not limited to) finite-state, connectionist and logical
techniques; formalisms, implementations and complexity results;
computational, mathematical and psychological models; and the
integration of phonology with grammar and speech.
The workshop will occupy the whole day, with 8 papers, with a critical
discussion in the middle of the day.
Primary contact. All correspondence should be sent to:
John Coleman, Oxford University Phonetics Laboratory, 41 Wellington Square,
Oxford, OX1 2JF, UK
Tel. +44 (1865) 270444, Fax. +44 (1865) 270445, email:
john.coleman at phonetics.oxford.ac.uk
Registration. All participants must register for the main ACL/EACL conference.
Information about the main conference is available from the URL
