Meeting Description:

Evolang 5: FIFTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE EVOLUTION OF LANGUAGE
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig

CALL FOR PAPERS

One-page abstracts are now solicited.

CONTENT: The conference welcomes substantive contributions relating to
the evolution of human language from any relevant discipline,
including Anthropology, Genetics, Population Biology, Linguistics,
Psychology, Primatology, Ethology, Paleontology, Archeology,
Artificial Life, Mathematical Modelling.  Normal standards of academic
quality apply. Thus, submitted abstracts should aim to make clear
their own substantive claim, relating this to relevant scientific
literature, and briefly setting out the method by which the claim is
substantiated, the nature of the relevant data, and/or the core of the
theoretical argument concerned.

FORMAT: Each abstract should conform to the following specifications:

* Length: a single page of A4/8.5 x 11, single-spaced, font size 12pt
or larger, with 2.5cm margins all round.  Any diagrams must fit on
this single page.

* Head material: Give:
      - Title of paper,
      - Author name(s),
      - Author affiliation(s) in brief (1 line),
      - Email address of principal author.
  (This head material must be at the top of the single page.)

METHOD: Email your abstract to evolang5 at ling.ed.ac.uk, as an
ATTACHMENT (i.e. not included in the message) in PLAIN TEXT (i.e. NOT
as a MSword document or similar).

Finite-State Language Resources and Language Processing

The recent availability of sophisticated toolkits for developing
large-scale finite state systems has fostered the development of
manually-constructed finite-state language resources and applications
for many languages.  As a follow-up to the recent Workshop on
Finite-State Methods in Natural Language Processing, FSMNLP 2003, held
during EACL 2003 in Budapest, we would like to solicit from the
workshop participants, as well as other researchers, full length
papers on the use of finite-state techniques for the development of
language processing resources and applications.  We would especially
encourage submissions addressing novel issues and aspects of
lesser-studied languages.

SCHEDULE
Call for papers issued: 2 June 2003
Papers due: 3 October 2003
