The Association for the Mathematics of Language is pleased to announce
that its sixth meeting (MOL6) will be held in July, 1999.  The biennial
MOL meetings are a workshop-style forum for presenting work relating to
mathematical linguistics.

SUBMISSIONS
Submissions are invited from all areas of study that deal with
the mathematical properties of natural language.  These areas
include, but are not limited to, mathematical models of phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics; mathematical properties
of linguistic frameworks/theories and models of natural language processing
and generation; mathematical models of language acquisition and change;
parsing theory; and statistical and quantitative models of language.

Submissions should give enough motivation to attract the interest of the
audience and enough details to attract people who follow the area of the
paper.


SUBMISSION FORMAT
Submissions should be no longer than 5000 words in length (about 10 pages,
11pt, excluding references).  Papers must include an abstract (200 words.
max).

All contributions to MOL6 are to be made electronically as an
uncompressed mime-encoded postscript attachment.  Please send
your submission to mol-submit at cis.upenn.edu.

 Notification of acceptance:		April 15, 1999
 Deadline for final drafts:		June 1, 1999
