CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: GENERAL SESSIONS
**************************************

	The 14th Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing is
soliciting abstracts for papers and posters presenting theoretical,
experimental, and/or computational research on any aspect of human sentence
processing. Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously, and will be considered
for the general conference sessions.


CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: SPECIAL SESSION
*************************************

	The special session for this year's conference will be
"World-Situated Language Use: Bridging the Language-as-Product and
Language-as-Action Traditions."  This special session will encourage
presentation of work that emphasizes language use in interactive
conversational settings.  Invited speakers for this session include Michael
Tanenhaus, from the University of Rochester, Susan Brennan from SUNY Stony
Brook, Boaz Keysar from the University of Chicago, Matthew Stone from
Rutgers University, and Justine Cassell from MIT.

	In addition to these speakers, we are encouraging abstract
submissions on this topic for presentation during this session.  We are
especially interested in experimental studies focusing on contextual
coordination in production and comprehension as well as computational and
linguistic theorizing on these issues (e.g., dynamic semantics, discourse
theories of reference) and any research (psycholinguistic, linguistic or
computational) that seeks to coordinate language use with real-world
reference to objects or actions (e.g., as in instructions).  Abstracts
submitted for the special session will be reviewed in the same way as
general submissions, with the added consideration of whether the
presentation belongs in the special or general session.


WHAT TO SUBMIT IN YOUR ABSTRACT
*******************************

     For all submissions, the abstract text should be no longer than 1 page
total (maximum of 500 words). In addition, you may include examples, data
summaries, and references; however the latter, together, should not exceed
15 lines.

      At the VERY TOP of the abstract, please include the names and
affiliations of all authors, and the email address of the author who will
handle correspondence. Also indicate whether you wish your abstract to be
considered for PAPER ONLY, POSTER ONLY, or PAPER OR POSTER. This category
means that you would be willing to present your work as a poster should the
abstract not be accepted for the spoken paper sessions.  Please also
indicate whether you want your abstract to be considered for the SPECIAL
SESSION.  This category does not exclude the possibility of acceptance for
the general sessions and does not decrease the chances of its acceptance.
Please leave several blank lines between this information and the abstract
proper (title and text), to facilitate anonymous review.


HOW TO SUBMIT ABSTRACTS
***********************

	We will accept e-mail submissions ONLY. These should be addressed
to: cuny2001 at ircs.upenn.edu.  Please use plain text, and use the
subject header: "Abstract"

	If you submit more than one abstract, each must be mailed
separately (and each will be acknowledged separately).  The conference
organizers reserve the right to shift some presentations from talks to
posters if two or more accepted talks are from the same author.
