 ==========================================================================
Please keep your conference announcement as short as you can; LINGUIST
will not post conference announcements which in our opinion are
excessively long.  Also, please remember that, once posted, your
announcement will be permanently available at our website:

For this reason, we discourage multiple submissions of the same
conference announcement.  Thank you for your cooperation.

The 11th Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing is
soliciting abstracts for posters presenting theoretical, experimental,
and/or computational research on human sentence processing.  Abstracts
will be reviewed anonymously and will be considered for both the
general poster session and for a special poster session on The Lexical
Basis of Syntactic Processing: Formal and Computational Issues.

SPECIAL SESSION:

Lexical influences on processing are currently a major focus of
attention in research on sentence comprehension, yet much of the work
remains isolated from investigations of the lexicon in other
disciplines.  The special session, The Lexical Basis of Syntactic
Processing: Formal and Computational Issues, will examine current
theories of lexical representation from a multidisciplinary
perspective, relating the issues raised to current work on sentence
comprehension.  The focus of the session will be presentations by
invited speakers from linguistics, computer science, and philosophy,
with critical commentary and discussion from researchers within the
sentence processing community.

The special session will also include submitted papers and posters on
the topic of the role of the lexicon in sentence processing.
Abstracts that are considered for the special session will be
evaluated both for the quality of the research and for the fit between
the submitted abstract and the invited papers.


PAPER SUBMISSIONS:

Abstracts submitted for the paper sessions are currently under review.
Notification of acceptance will be emailed to authors by December
22nd.  Abstracts submitted for the paper session that are not accepted
for presentation will be automatically considered for the poster
sessions, unless they were marked "Paper Only".

SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR POSTER SESSIONS:

For consideration as a poster only:  January 16, 1998

******** Note revised deadline. ********

WHAT TO SUBMIT:

Abstracts must be text only (ASCII), no more than 400 words in length,
excluding references.  Please do not submit MIME encoded email or
non-ascii output of a word processing program.

At the top of the abstract, please include your name and email
address.  Please leave several blank lines between this information
and your title and abstract, so that we may remove this information
for anonymous abstract review.

WHERE TO SUBMIT:

We will accept email submissions only.  Email your submissions to
                      cuny at ruccs.rutgers.edu
Please use "Abstract" as your subject header. If you are submitting
more than one abstract, each must be separately emailed.  You will
receive an email acknowledgment for each abstract you submit.

If you are unable to use email to submit your abstract, you must
contact the organizers for instructions on submitting a PC-readable
disk with the required information and abstract.


CONFERENCE DATES AND LOCATION:

The conference will be held on March 19-21, 1998, at the Hyatt
Regency, New Brunswick, New Jersey, adjacent to the Rutgers University
campus.  The conference site is easily accessible by shuttle from the
