             + System description: 2 pages (system demo)
             + Work in progress: 5 pages (short presentation)
             + Polished work: 15 pages (long presentation)
        o Submissions will be refereed primarily on a basis of relevance,
          for an informal proceedings distributed only at the workshop.
          Since an intention of the workshop is to survey current work,
          versions of papers that have been, or may, appear elsewhere are

          of refereeing, for proper publication as a book or journal special
          issue.

Subject:  Semantics and Linguistic Theory--SALT 8

NOTE: Abstracts for SALT 8 are due this coming Tuesday December 2, 1997!


                       SALT 8 - Call for Papers

                     Semantics and Linguistic Theory
                          Eighth Annual Meeting
                  Massachusetts Institute of Technology
                             May 8-10, 1998


Invited Speakers:

Angelika Kratzer
Fred Landman
Richard Larson
Tanya Reinhart


SALT 8 welcomes submissions for 30-minute presentations (with 10 additional
minutes for discussion) on any topic in the semantic analysis of natural
language emphasizing the connection to linguistic theory. Authors should
submit 10 copies of abstracts, no more than 2 pages (1000 words) long.
Authors' names, address, affiliation, status (faculty/student), phone
number and e-mail address, paper title, and list of prior or planned
presentations at other conferences should accompany the abstracts on a 3x5
card. Fax or E-mail submissions will not be accepted.

- -------------
Guidelines:

SALT does not accept papers that by the time of the conference have
appeared or have been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Preference will be given to presentations not duplicated at other major
conferences (including LSA, NELS, WCCFL, etc.). Authors are asked to
indicate prior or planned presentations of their papers on the abstract
submission card.

Any person can submit at most one abstract as sole author and a second
abstract as co-author or two abstracts as co-author.

Choose a title that clearly indicates the topic of the paper. State the
problem or research question raised by prior work, with specific references
to relevant prior work. State the main point or argument of the proposed
presentation. Give at least one critical example, with explanation of why
and how it supports the main point or argument. When examples are in
languages other than English, provide word by word glosses. State the
relevance of your ideas to past work or to the future development of the
field. Describe analyses in as much detail as possible. Avoid merely saying
"a solution to this problem will be presented". [adapted from the LSA
guidelines for abstract submissions]
- -------------

Deadline for submission of abstracts is Tuesday December 2, 1997.
The program will be announced in February 1998.

Send abstracts to:

SALT 8 Organizing Committee
Department of Linguistics & Philosophy
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
E39-245, 77 Massachusetts Avenue
Cambridge, MA 02139
U.S.A.

Further announcements will be made as the conference approaches.

In conjunction with SALT, there will be a one day workshop on French syntax &
semantics. Details will be announced soon.

Inquiries are welcome to the address above, or e-mail to salt8 at mit.edu.
