Subject: sound symbolism organization update
Letting everyone know that over 90 people have now responded to our
announcement of an organization for folks interested in sound symbolism and
other nonarbitrary aspects of human language. The intention is to have the
real thing, something along the lines of SSILA or ALT. This includes meetings,
publications, an archive, and a comprehensive bibliography. A number of people
have expressed their desire for an e-mail discussion. If all this is something
you would like to participate in, please let me know. Thanks.

Subject: EAGLES PANEL AT LREC
At the First International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation
(LREC), to be held in Granada, Spain, May 28 - 30, 1998, there will be a
EAGLES PANEL ON LEXICAL SEMANTIC STANDARDS FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS on MAY
29, 1998 from 17:00 - 18:40.
To provide more detailed information about the work done sofar within
the EAGLES lexicon/semantics interest group, we have prepared a HTML
version of our most recent report, accessible at
http://www.ilc.pi.cnr.it/EAGLES96/rep2 (even though we are still working on
it). This is an interim report and should be considered as a ``polished
draft''. Moreover it is still only the survey part.
The final report, available in September 1998, will provide a revised
version of the present survey plus an additional part on Guidelines for
standards in the area of lexical semantic encoding with specific reference
to Machine Translation, Information Systems and related enabling technologies.
