WORKSHOPS AND CONFERENCES AT THE
1999 LINGUISTIC INSTITUTE
Linguistics for the 21st Century:
Form and Function from Western and Nonwestern Perspectives
The Summer Linguistic Institute has traditionally been a popular
venue for host workshops and conferences. The upcoming 1999
Institute will be held at the University of Illinois June 21 -
July 30 1999.
If you are interested in organizing a WORKSHOP or CONFERENCE at
the 1999 Linguistic Institute, please contact us as soon as pos-
sible (before May 30 1998, if at all possible).
The infrastructure will be in place to host events that range
from 10-500 participants. We expect dozens of events to be held
here during the Institute, and popular dates and rooms will fill
up fast.

Description
Anaphora and problems of reference resolution have received a great
deal of attention from workers in linguistics, computational
linguistics, artificial intelligence and information retrieval for a
number of decades. Such problems have proved a major challenge for all
of these fields, and a great many differing theories and solutions have
been proposed and implemented with varying degrees of success. This
colloquium aims to fill a need for researchers in this field to meet.
Our hope is that this meeting will allow all of the different strands
of work to be identified, with a view to producing an up-to-date
review of the field.
To this end, a coloquium will take place from the 1st to the 4th of
August, 1998 at Lancaster University, UK, organized jointly by the
Department of Linguistics, Lancaster University and the Institute for
English Studies, Lodz University, Poland. This colloquium is a follow
up to the highly succesful DAARC colloquium held at Lancaster in 1996.
Our aim this time is specifically geared towards encouraging a
cross-fertilization of ideas between theoretical linguistics, corpus
linguistics and computational linguistics.
