Dear colleagues,

As organizer of the Linguistics Session at this year's PAMLA meeting, I'm
writing to let you know that I'm extending the original April 1 deadline
for abstracts to accommodate (& encourage!) late submissions.

The 1996 meeting of the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association
(formerly Philological Association of the Pacific Coast) will be held
November 8-10 at UC Irvine. While the conference is mainly devoted to
literature, there are sessions devoted to other topics, including ours on
Linguistics. It's also a nice opportunity to meet colleagues in foreign
languages from around California & the West Coast. Presentors must be PAMLA
members by May 1 (dues are $20 per annum). If you are interested in making
a presentation, please send me a brief abstract (50-100 words) ASAP.

Since Linguistics usually comes up short at such meetings, support from
linguists in language and linguistics departments would be especially
appreciated. If you can't submit an abstract, please consider attending.
Please also pass the word along to colleagues.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Best wishes

Thomas F. Shannon
Presiding Officer,
Linguistics Session, 1996 PAMLA

HPSG Grammars in ALE

The Language Technology Group of the Human Communication Research centre
is pleased to
announce the release of teaching materials for HPSG grammars under Bob
Carpenter's ALE
formalism. A hypertext version of the document can be found at:

<http://www.ltg.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/projects/ledtools/ale-hpsg/> with
the sample grammars at:

<http://www.ltg.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/projects/ledtools/ale-hpsg/grammars/>
and LaTeX and Postscript source in:

<http://www.ltg.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/projects/ledtools/ale-hpsg/docs/>

The material has been class tested and proved successful, both at
masters level and in an intensive
3-day course. The main author is Colin Matheson, with substantial
contributions from Suresh
Manandhar and Claire Grover. The has been prepared with the aid of
funding from the Joint
Information Systems Committee's New Technology Initiative, under the
project ``Tools for
Language Education''

Alternate versions are also available on request from
Colin.Matheson at ed.ac.uk. The
hyperlinked version is usually the most convenient
 (the document is over 100 pages). We expect to
be updating this document a little more in the coming weeks.
