****************************************************************************************

Following Barcelona (1990), Montpellier (1993), Rome (1995), Nice (1998),
Lausanne (2000), Saint-Malo (2002) the 7th International Conference on the
Statistical Analysis of Textual Data will be held in Louvain-la-Neuve
(Belgium), on March 10-12, 2004. This biennial conference, which has
constantly been gaining in importance since its first occurrence, is open to
all scholars working in the vast field of textual data analysis; ranging from
lexicography to the analysis of political discourse, from documentary
research to marketing research, from computational linguistics to
sociolinguistics, from the processing of data to content analysis. After the
success of the previous meetings, the three-day conference in Belgium will
continue to provide a workshop-style forum through technical paper sessions,
invited talks, and panel discussions.
