NOTE: EXTENDED DEADLINE!
Call for Papers for the
Conference on the Optimization of Interpretation
Location: UiL OTS, Utrecht University
Date: 4-5 January, 2000
Invited speakers:
REINHARD BLUTNER (Humboldt University, Berlin)
GISBERT FANSELOW (University of Potsdam)
BARBARA PARTEE (Umass, Amherst)
PAUL SMOLENSKY (Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore)
Organizers:
Petra Hendriks, Helen de Hoop, Fabien Reniers, Frank Wijnen
The aim of this conference is to elucidate the processes that
characterize natural language interpretation. The basic question is
whether interpretation can be characterized as an optimization
problem. By testing candidate interpretations against a set of ranked
constraints in a parallel fashion, interpretation can attain the high
speed that is typical of normal language processing. Constraints that
play a role can be semantic, pragmatic, syntactic or intonational in
nature. The interpretation that arises for an utterance within a
certain context maximizes the degree of constraint satisfaction and is
as a consequence the best alternative (hence, optimal interpretation)
among the set of possible interpretations.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together theoretical and
empirical considerations on the optimization of interpretation.
The conference includes four presentations by invited speakers
as well as a forum with invited participants.
Invited forum participants:
Renate Bartsch (University of Amsterdam)
Ken Drozd (University of Groningen)
Wietske Vonk (MPI, Nijmegen)
Henk Zeevat (University of Amsterdam)
The conference has additional room for 10 selected talks of 40
minutes, including discussion. Authors should submit five copies of an
anonymous abstract of one to two pages and one camera-ready copy
indicating the author's name, affiliation, address and e-mail
address. Please send your abstract to:

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
The 14th PACIFIC ASIA CONFERENCE
ON
LANGUAGE, INFORMATION AND COMPUTATION
February 15-17, 2000
The Logico-Linguistic Society of Japan is pleased to announce that the
14th Pacific Asia Conference on Language, Information and Computation
(PACLIC 14) will be held at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan, on
February 15-17, 2000. The Conference is an annual meeting of scholars
with a wide range of interest in theoretical and computational
linguistics from the Pacific Asia region.
PACLIC 14 solicits papers treating any field in theoretical and
computational linguistics, including, but not limited to, syntax,
morphology, phonology, semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis,
typology, corpus linguistics, formal grammar theory, natural language
processing, and computer applications.
Submission may be made either for a long paper or a short paper. The
long paper should not exceed 20 letter- or A4-sized pages, with font
size 11 point, double spaced throughout. The maximum length for the
short paper is 2000 words. The first page of the submitted paper
should bear the following information: the title of the paper, the
name(s) of the author(s), affiliations, mailing address, and Email
address for correspondence. E-mail submission is also acceptable (but
no fax submissions). The e-mail submission should be in such popular
formats as ASCII plain text, PDF, PostScript, MS Word, and LaTeX.
Accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings. The
submission should be sent to either of the following addresses.
