and/or state-of-the-practice in Machine Translation (MT). Original papers
in all areas of research in this field, including, but not limited to,
the following are invited:

function-based, etc.)
- Automatic or Semi-Automatic Acquisition of Translation Knowledge
- Practical MT Systems
- Translation Aids (translation memory, terminology databases, etc.)
- Speech and Dialogue Machine Translation
- Natural Language Analysis and Generation Techniques
- Dictionaries and Lexicons for MT Systems
- Text Corpora for MT
- User Interfaces
- Evaluation Techniques
- Mutil-Linguages MT
- Translation Corpora
- MT and Related Technologies

SECOL 30TH ANNIVERSARY MEETING
Spring 1999
Linguistics for the Twenty-first Century
CALL FOR PAPERS: Due December 7
Old Dominion University will host the Spring 1999 meeting of SECOL,
which will be held at the Norfolk Waterside Marriott in Norfolk,
Virginia on April 8th, 9th and 10th. We will be celebrating the 30th
anniversary of the founding of the organization.
The featured speakers for the spring meeting are William Labov of the
University of Pennsylvania and Walt Wolfram of North Carolina State
University. Labov will make a presentation on "The Triumph of Southern
Sound Changes," showing that certain elements of southern dialect are
now found to be occurring throughout North America.
Walt Wolfram's presentation will be on "The Southern Context(s) of
Earlier AAVE." Based on his examination of longstanding African American
communities in the Pamlico Sound area of North Carolina, he argues that
Earlier African American speech was much more diverse than the
contemporary version of the vernacular and explains why AAVE has
undergone such a dramatic movement toward a normative vernacular over
the last half century. In addition, Natalie Schilling-Estes will
moderate a discussion by a group of younger scholars on "Fieldwork for
the New Century," which will deal with ethical issues, approaches to
fieldwork, current and emerging technologies, and fieldwork priorities
for the
21st century.
Abstract Guidelines
Please send six copies of an abstract of your paper --not to exceed 300
words-- to the SECOL Office for the consideration of the Program
Committee. DO NOT PUT YOUR NAME ON THE ABSTRACTS so they may be judged
anonymously.
Please copy and fill out the following form and staple it to one copy of
your abstract. After the papers are refereed, we will notify you of the
committee's decisions. The abstracts must arrive at the SECOL Office no
later than 7 December 1998.
GUIDELINES
I. Give the title of the paper at the top of the page. Do not give your
name or other identifying information. Abstracts will be judged by the
Program Committee without the knowledge of the identity of the authors.
II. The abstracts should not be longer than 300 words. They must be
typewritten, double-spaced, and the copies may be xeroxed.
III. A statement of the topic or purpose of the paper should be
included, preferably as the first paragraph.
A. If your paper involves the analysis of linguistic materials, give
appropriate examples, along with a brief indication of why they are
important to your argument.
B. If your paper is to present the results of experiments and you do not
yet have those results, indicate the nature of the experiments and why
the results will be significant.
C. State the relevance of your ideas to past work or to the future
development of the field.
D. State your conclusion (however tentative); avoid saying things like
"A solution to this
problem will be presented." If you are taking a stand on a controversial
issue, do not simply say which side you take; summarize the arguments
that lead you to take this position.
