Subject: NAMES (Socioling Journal)
The June 1999 issue of NAMES: A Journal of Onomastics will
be devoted to The Sociolinguistics of Names and Naming.
Papers should relate names and/or naming to one or more of the
standard areas of sociolinguists: regional or social variation,
stylistic or situational variation, ethnic or other cultural
variation, changes in names or naming practices over time, the
pragmatics of naming. Manuscripts submitted for this special should be
empirical rather than philosophical and should be based upon original
or existing research.
Potential contributors should send a proposal of one or two paragraphs
describing the paper as soon as convenient to:
Edward Callary, Editor NAMES
English Department
Northern Illinois University
DeKalb IL 60115
proposals by email are welcome. send to:
TB0EXC1 at MVS.CSO.NIU.EDU
make sure that's a zero after the TB and a letter o after
the cs.
regards to all

Subject: Partially Automated Techniques for Transcription
ACL/COLING-98
Workshop on
PARTIALLY AUTOMATED TECHNIQUES FOR TRANSCRIBING
NATURALLY OCCURRING, CONTINUOUS SPEECH
August 16, 1998 (following ACL/COLING-98)
University of Montreal, Montreal (Quebec, Canada)
CALL FOR PAPERS
DESCRIPTION
- ---------
The development of robust systems for speech analysis and synthesis
depends crucially on the availability of well-annotated corpora of
naturally occurring, continuous speech. Yet existing speech corpora
are rarely well-annotated. A key to proper annotation is the
availability of partially automated systems for linking selected
portions of a visual display of speech to the corresponding
transcriptions. To be of practical use, such systems must be able to
handle large files of digitized speech and they should permit
transcriptions at different levels of analysis.
This workshop will be devoted to the presentation and discussion
of papers and software demonstrations which reflect the current state
of the art. We invite proposals of up to 800 words which address the
development, use, evaluation, or potential commercial application of
such systems.
SUBMISSIONS
- ---------
Only email submissions in LaTeX or Ascii will be accepted. Authors
should submit an abstract of no more than 800 words to:
trans98 at cs.concordia.ca
Style files and templates for LaTeX submissions can be found at

The official language of the conference is English.
