CALL FOR PAPERS
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
19-21 FEBRUARY 1999
'Beyond Boundaries II:
New Europe...Pan Europe?
Trajectories And Destinations'
Following the success of the first 'Beyond Boundaries'
cross-disciplinary conference in this series, the European Studies
Research Institute (ESRI), with the Universit de Toulouse-Le Mirail,
is inviting proposals for papers for the above conference.
ESRI comprises four centres: Contemporary History and Politics,
Language and Linguistics, Literary and Cultural Studies and Policy
Studies. Among the themes to be discussed across these centres and in
a series of parallel sessions are: Discourses and Communities,
Languages, Literatures and Cultures, Ethnicity and National
Identity...
The CENTRE FOR LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS invites submissions for:
Sociolinguistically orientated papers on themes including:
* Language, Ethnicity and Identity
* Language and Variation
* Linguistic Minorities, Language Politics and Language
Contact
* Translation, Cultures and Discourses
And for papers to be presented at a:
* 'Time and Space in Language and Cognition Workshop',
organised by Diane Blakemore (ESRI) and Jasques Durand (Equipe de
Recherche en Syntaxe et Smantique, CNRS, and Dpartement d'Etudes du
monde anglophone, Toulouse-Le Mirail) in association with the North
West Centre for Linguistics.
The Centre's keynote speaker will be Professor Jenny Cheshire, who is
professor of Linguistics at Queen Mary & Westfield College,
University of London with a special interest in sociolinguistics.

Vietri sul Mare (SA) Italy,
ETTORE MAJORANA FOUNDATION AND CENTER FOR SCIENTIFIC CULTURE (EMFCSC)
Erice (TR), Italy
Supported by:
EUROPEAN SPEECH COMMUNICATION ASSOCIATION (ESCA)
Sponsored by:
SALERNO UNIVERSITY, Dipartimento di Scienze Fisiche E.R. Caianiello
(Italy)
DIRECTORS OF THE COURSE DIRECTORS OF THE SCHOOL
AND ORGANIZING COMMITTEE:
Gerard Chollet (France). Maria Marinaro (Italy)
M. Gabriella Di Benedetto (Italy) Michael Jordan (USA)
Anna Esposito (Italy)
Maria Marinaro (Italy)
PLACE: International Institute for Advanced Scientific Studies (IIASS)
Via Pellegrino 19, 84019 Vietri sul Mare, Salerno (Italy)
DATES: 5th-14th October 1998
Student Fee: 1500 dollars
Student fee include accommodations (arranged by the school),
meals, one day of excursion, and a copy of the proceedings of
the school. Transportation is not included. A few scholarships
are available for students who are otherwise unable
to participate at the school, and who cannot apply for
the grants offered by ESCA.
The scholarship will partially cover lodging and living expenses.
Day time: 3 hour in the morning, three hour in the afternoon.
Day free: One day with an excursion of the places around.
AIMS:
The aim of this school is to present the experiments,
the theories and the perspectives of acoustic phonetics,
as well as to discuss recent results in the speech literature.
The school aims to provide a background for further
study in many of the fields related to speech science
and linguistics, including automatic speech recognition.
The school will bring together leading researchers
and selected students in the field of speech science
and technology to discuss and disseminate the latest techniques.
The school is devoted to an international audience and
in particular to all students and scientists who are
working on some aspects of speech and want to learn other
aspects of this discipline.
MAJOR TOPICS
The school will cover a number of broad themes relevant to speech,
among them:
1) Speech production and acoustic phonetics
2) Articulatory, acoustic, and prosodic features
3) Acoustic cues in speech perception
4) Models of speech perception
5) Speech processing (Preprocessing algorithms for Speech)
6) Neural Networks for automatic speech recognition
7) Multi-modal speech recognition and recognition in adverse
environments.
8) Speech to speech translation (Vermobil and CSTAR projects)
9) Applications (Foreign Language training aids, aids for
handicapped, ....).
10) Stochastic Models and Dialogue systems
