FOURTH   CONFERENCE   ON   UKRAINIAN   TECHNICAL   TERMINOLOGY

        Lviv  Polytechnic  University  will  host  the  Fourth
International Conference on "Problems of  Ukrainian Scientific
and Technical Terminology" in  Lviv,  Ukraine September 24-27,
1996.
        The  Conference  is  organized  by  the  Committee  on
Standardization  of   Ukrainian   Scientific   and   Technical
Terminology in Lviv.  Ukraine's Ministry of Education and  the
State Committee on Standardization, Metrology and
Certification have authorized the  Lviv Committee  to  develop
national terminological standards.
        The  conferences  are   a  forum  for  discussions  of
problems  related   to   updating   and  developing  authentic
Ukrainian terminology.  They  have  drawn  together  technical
specialists and linguists from  all parts  of Ukraine, Europe,
and North America.  The current emphasis is on the compilation
of Russian-Ukrainian dictionaries, but  there  are efforts  to
publish English-Ukrainian and Ukrainian-English glossaries  in
a variety of important fields.
        The committee has  published collections of  abstracts
from each of the previous three conferences (1992, 1993, 1994)
(LC  catalog record numbers  for  these:  '92: 94-215856, '93:
94-156616 and '94: 94-214890 --JD)
        The  committee  also  issues  the  annual  publication
NAUKOVO-TEKHNICHNE SLOVO  (LC record no. 94-641892 --JD) which
features articles and selected papers  from  past conferences.
In  addition,  it  publishes  a  series  of occasional topical
papers called the TERMINOLOHICHNYI METELYK (sorry, no  LC  no.
yet --JD) and supports publication of specialized
dictionaries.
        The conference is  organized  into  six  sections:  1)
history  and  current developments in Ukrainian scientific and
technical style, 2) theoretical foundations, 3) principles and
methods  of  lexicography,  4)  Ukrainian-language  sport  and
military style,  5) formation and standardization of Ukrainian
scientific and technical terminology, and 6) computer-assisted
dictionaries, terminological databases and publication systems
for scientific and technical literature./
        Applications  and  abstracts  of   papers  should   be
submitted  by  March   15   to  Committee  chairman  Volodymyr
Perkhach,  Lviv  Polytechnic  University,  12  Stepan  Bandera
Street, Room 112, Lviv-13, 290646, Ukraine.
