                  **FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS**

              The 5th International Conference on
           Discourse Anaphora and Anaphor Resolution
                         (DAARC2004)

                  http://daarc2004.di.fc.ul.pt
               hosted by the University of Azores
                   September 23 - 24, 2004



Following the success of the previous international colloquia
on Discourse Anaphora and Anaphor Resolution at Lancaster
in 1996, 1998 and 2000, and Lisbon in 2002, the next colloquium
in the series will take place in S. Miguel, Portugal, in 2004.

DAARC2004 aims to continue the trend set by the previous DAARC
events, which brought together a wide variety of research on
discourse anaphora and anaphor resolution. Our goal will be
to review this diverse field and consider the results obtained
in recent years.

The DAARC2004 colloquium will be held on the 23-24th September
2004 in Azores. The working sessions will take place at Terra
Nostra Garden Hotel, located near to a superb botanical garden,
in the small village of Furnas, in the Furnas valley, a crater
of an extinct volcano. Furnas is known for its geysers, many of
them right in the center of the village. This village is located
in São Miguel Island, the largest island of Azores archipelago,
known for the untouched beauty of its ever green landscape,
with several lagoons in extinct craters.

We would like to invite anyone currently researching in the
areas of discourse, anaphora and anaphor resolution, from any
methodological perspective or framework, to submit a paper for
DAARC2004. The closing date for submission is 15/3/04. Notification
of acceptance will be sent by 3/5/04. Selected papers are
expected by 31/5/02 to be included in the proceedings.

Please send an anonymous abstract of no more than 2 pages,
together with a separate identification page with Name(s) and
Affiliation(s) of the author(s) and with the phone number and
email address of the contact person, to the DAARC2004 organisers
