Subject: Germanic Linguistics Conference
Seventh Germanic Linguistics Annual Conference (GLAC-7)
Banff, Alberta, Canada
Saturday, April 21 to Monday, April 23, 2001
Call for Papers
Faculty and graduate students are invited to submit abstracts for 30-minute
papers on any linguistic or philological aspect of any historic or modern
Germanic language or dialect, including English (to 1500) and the
extraterritorial varieties. Papers from a range of linguistic subfields,
including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
socio-linguistics, language acquisition, contact, and change, as well as
differing theoretical approaches, are especially welcome.
Please send to the address below a one-page, 12-point font abstract that is
headed only by the title of your paper, as well as a separate 3" x 5" index
card with your name, institutional affiliation, mailing address, phone/fax
numbers, email address, and the title of your paper. Submissions must be
received by January 5, 2001. Notification of acceptance will be sent out by
February 11, 2001.

Location and Accomodation
Banff is the townsite of Banff National Park located in the Rocky Mountains.
This area is easily one of the most beautiful in the world and certainly an
ideal place to celebrate Earth Day on April 22.
The conference will take place at the Banff Conference Centre. Rooms,
including breakfast and lunch, are available at a special conference rate of
CDN $137.03 (U.S. $92.50) for a single or CDN $87.53 (U.S. $59.10) per
person for a double. Please note: These rates apply only to conference
participants. If two people (e.g. you and your spouse or a friend) share a
room and only one is attending the conference, the single rate applies; i.e.
CDN $137.03 (U.S. $92.50). There is an additional 5% provincial hotel room
tax, and a 7% Goods and Services Tax (GST). The GST on all accomodation is
refundable to Non-Canadian residents upon application. The Banff Conference
Centre is extending these rates for three days before and after the
conference, so we hope that you will find time to explore the area. Further
information will be provided later.
Please note: The exchange rate is presently U.S. $1.00 = CDN $1.48.
Transportation
Banff is most easily accessible from Calgary, Alberta, located about 120
kilometres (70 miles) to the east. There are some direct shuttle buses from
Calgary International Airport to Banff, and frequent buses from Calgary
downtown to Banff. We will provide full details on transportation later.
The Diebold Awards
Beginning with GLAC-6, thanks to generous funding from the Diebold
Foundation, a number of prizes in the amount of $250 are awarded to the best
graduate student papers presented at the conference. A jury of three members
appointed by the Executive Committee of the Society for Germanic Philology
will judge conference papers submitted in writing within four weeks of the
conference.
The Society for Germanic Philology
The Germanic Linguistics Annual Conference is sponsored by the Society for
Germanic Linguistics (SGL). The SGL also publishes the Journal of Germanic
Linguistics, a semiannual journal devoted to the study of all present and
historical Germanic varieties, including English (to 1500). Information on
submissions to the journal, as well as Society membership, are accessible
through the SGL website (http://www.germanic.ohio-state.edu/sgl/).

Subject: ACL 200 Workshop: WORD SENSES AND MULTI-LINGUALITY
************************
ACL 2000 Workshop
************************
WORD SENSES AND MULTI-LINGUALITY
Sponsored by the ACL Special Interest Group for the Lexicon (SIGLEX)
October 2000 (following ACL'2000)
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~ide/events/siglex00.html
With an increasingly global economy and the explosive growth of the
"World" in "World Wide Web", the computational linguistics community
is faced as never before with the challenges and opportunities of
multi-linguality. At the same time, the community has returned with
renewed enthusiasm to problems of word meaning, especially the
delineation and discrimination of word senses. An intimate
relationship between the two issues is becoming apparent -- for
example, in the consideration of translation equivalence in parallel
corpora, the construction of multilingual ontologies, and the
examination of senses in relation to specific natural language
applications such as machine translation, information retrieval,
summarization, etc. The issue of multi-lingual approaches to sense
distinctions was also a central topic of discussion at the first
SENSEVAL conference in 1998, and is one of the areas to be covered at
SENSEVAL-2 (to be held in Spring 2001).
This workshop is intended to address problems of word sense
disambiguation and delineation of appropriate sense distinctions, with
specific emphasis on approaches that involve more than one language
and the ways in which observations about cross-linguistic equivalence
affect our consideration of sense divisions in the individual
languages. More generally, we seek to foster discussion and exchanges
of insight in any area of computational linguistics where a
non-monolingual approach to word sense issues is being taken.
Some example topics include
o multi-lingual sense inventories and systems, e.g. EuroWordNet,
MikroKosmos
o use of parallel corpora in investigating word sense issues
o word senses and cross-language information retrieval
o word senses and machine translation
o comparative lexical semantics
We will also consider submission on issues in mono-lingual lexical
semantics relevant to sense distinctions, but priority will be given
to papers addressing multi-lingual approaches.
Where and when
===============
The workshop will be held for a full day on either October 7 or 8,
