THE ESSLLI'98 STUDENT SESSION
August 17-28, 1998, Saarbruecken, Germany
Deadline: February 15th, 1998
http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/esslli/
We are pleased to announce the Student Session of the 10th European Summer
School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI'98) organized by DFKI and
the University of Saarbruecken, Germany. and taking place at the
University of Saarbruecken in August 17-28, 1998. We welcome submissions of
papers for presentation at the ESSLLI'98 Student Session and to appear in
the proceedings.
PURPOSE:
This is going to be the third ESSLLI Student Session and as before, it will
provide an opportunity for ESSLLI participants who are students to present
their own WORK IN PROGRESS and get valuable feedback from other researchers
and fellow-students. Presentation of creative and innovative ideas is
encouraged.
The ESSLLI'98 Student Session welcomes submissions from students at any
level, that is, from undergraduates (before completion of Master degree) as
well as postgraduates (before completion of PhD degree). Note also that
all authors of ESSLLI'98 papers have to be students, papers co-authored by
non-students cannot be accepted.
As in the previous years, the ESSLLI'98 Student Session will consist of
paper presentations. The ESSLLI'98 Student Session has its own timeslot in
the ESSLLI'98 schedule: 60 minutes every day for two weeks, provided that a
sufficient number of good quality papers is accepted. Each presentation
will last 30 minutes (including 10 minutes of discussion).
REQUIREMENTS:
The Student Session papers should describe original, unpublished work,
completed or in progress that demonstrates insight, creativity, and
promise. No previously published papers should be submitted. All topics
within the usual six ESSLLI subject areas are of interest, without further
restrictions. The areas are as follows: Logic, Linguistics, Computation,
Logic & Linguistics, Logic & Computation, and Linguistics & Computation.
The accepted papers will be published in the ESSLLI'98 Student Session
proceedings, which will be made available along with the readers for the
ESSLLI'98 courses.
FORMAT OF SUBMISSION:
Student authors should submit an anonymous extended abstract headed by the
paper title, not to exceed 4 pages of length exclusive of references and a
separate identification page (see below). Note that the length of the full
papers will not be allowed to exceed 10 pages.
Since reviewing will be "blind", the body of the abstract should omit
author names and addresses. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the
authors' identity (e.g., ``We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...'') should
be avoided. Instead, use references like ``Smith (1991) previously showed
...''.
To identify each paper, a separate identification page should be supplied
containing the paper's title, the name(s) of the author(s), the author(s)'
affiliation(s) and complete addresse(s) a short (5 line) summary and a
specification of the subject area into which the paper belongs. The
subject areas considered are: Logic, Linguistics, Computation, Logic &
Linguistics, Logic & Computation, and Linguistics & Computation.
MEDIA OF SUBMISSION AND FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS:
The student authors should submit their papers electronically to:
korbay at ufal.mff.cuni.cz
For any kind of submission a plain ascii text version of the identification
page should be sent separately by email, using the following format:
title: <title>
author: <name of first author>
address: <affiliation and address of first author>
...
author: <name of last author>
address: <affiliation and address of last author>
short summary (5 lines): <summary>
subject area (one of):
[ Logic | Linguistics | Computation | Logic&Linguistics |
Logic&Computation | Linguistics&Computation ]
Please always submit the identification page in a separate message.
The submissions should be in one of the following formats:
- self-contained LaTeX source (the most encouraged)
- PostScript
- ASCII text

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Third Utrecht Biannual Phonology Workshop
Rene Kager & Wim Zonneveld
Utrecht Institute of Linguistics: OTS

11-13 June 1998
Theme: Typology and Language Acquisition
Invited speakers: Bruce Hayes (UCLA) and Joe Pater (UBC)
Deadline for abstracts: 1 March 1998
==========================================
It is a standard assumption that the striking structural resemblances
between human languages are explained from the common starting point:
U.G. The study of the striking resemblances (and range of
differences) is called `typology'. The direct study of the common
starting point is that of `first language acquisition'.
Since the introduction of so-called `constraint-based theories', the
field of typology and language acquisition is a candidate for a
redefinition of its contents and its goals. Questions that can be
raised inlcude the following: - What is the nature of the common
starting point? Is it an unstructured pool of constraints, where the
process of language acquisition consists of providing structure? Is
it highly structured (is there a common completely `unmarked', but
structured) point of departure), where language acquisition consists
of adding markedness? - Is the learning task larger (although not
necessarily more difficult) than previously imagined? - To what
extent is learning guided by factors of markedness that have an
extralinguistic source, e.g., production and/or perception factors? -
Is the methodological process of excluding impossible languages
different in constraint-based theories, and if so, how? - Is it
possible to imagine combined theories of constraints and traditional
parameters, both in the area of (adult) typology and language
acquisition?
==========================================
Abstracts are requested to have a length of 800 words (References incl.).
They will be judged according to the following priority scale:
- integration of acquisitional and typology issues
- acquisitional issues
- typological issues
