- ------------------------ CALL for PAPERS --------------------
Announcing the 1999 Conference of the Texas Linguistics Society
Perspectives on Argument Structure
to be held at the University of Texas at Austin, March 5-7, 1999.
Keynote speakers: Beth Levin (Northwestern University)
James Pustejovsky (Brandeis University)
Michael Tanenhaus (University of Rochester)
Deadline for Receipt of Abstracts: October 16, 1998
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstracts are invited for 30-minute talks (with 10 additional minutes
for discussion). Issues of argument structure have proven to be of
long-standing interest within diverse subfields of linguistics. The
intent of this conference is to bring together researchers working on
argument structure from different perspectives. In keeping with this
idea, presentations that address argument structure from the perspective
of formal syntax or semantics are encouraged, as well as those that take
psycholinguistic, computational or other approaches.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
* Theories of linking; relating argument structure to syntactic
structure
* Accounts of case assigment
* Lexical conceptual semantics and argument structure
* Computational implementation & models of argument structure or
linking
* Syntax/Semantic interface and language acquisition
* Acquisition of argument structure
* Language processing of argument structure, subcategorization or
lexical/conceptual structure
Abstracts must be no more than on 8.5" by 11" page, single spaced and in
at least 12-point type (10-point for examples), with one-inch margin on
all sides. One additional page with references, diagrams and data (no
text) may be appended, if necessary. All submissions must include the
following:
* Six anonymous copies of the abstract
* One 3"X5" card with name, affiliation, address, phone
number, e-mail and title of paper
Deadline for receipt of abstracts is October 16, 1998. Send abstracts
to:
TLS Abstract Committee
Calhoun 501, B5100
The University of Texas at Austin
Austin, TX 78712
Abstracts received after the deadline will not be considered. Fax
submissions will not be accepted. Instructions for text-only e-mail
submissions are available by request. An individual may submit at most
one single and one co-authored paper.
Authors whose abstracts are accepted will be notified in mid-December,
1998.
Presenters who wish to have their papers included in the conference
proceedings must submit a camera ready copy by May 15, 1999.
Proceedings will be published by the Texas Linguistics Forum.
Conference pre-registration is $15.00 (US) for students, $25.00 for
non-students.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT
The CUNY Conference operates on a shoe-string. We have always kept
registration fees as low as possible, especially for students. We
also make travel awards to students.
The way we make ends meet (barely!) is by contributions from CUNY and
other institutions. We are immensely grateful for this financial
support, and we encourage you to encourage your administration to
make a donation to this good cause. We can provide paperwork to
support your request and the billing process. Any amount is welcome!
In the past, contributions have ranged from $300 to $5,000.
So please -- approach your dean, your provost, the financial officer
of your company, and explain what a valuable forum the CUNY Conference
is for the exchange of research ideas.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS
The 12th Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing is
soliciting abstracts for papers and posters presenting theoretical,
experimental, and/or computational research on any aspect of human
sentence processing. Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously, and will
be considered for both the general conference sessions and the special
session on "Syntactic Features in Sentence Processing".
SUBMISSION DEADLINES
For consideration in the spoken paper sessions: November 16, 1998
For consideration as a poster only: January 11, 1999
WHAT TO SUBMIT IN YOUR ABSTRACT
Abstract text should be no longer than 400 words. In addition, you
may include examples, data summaries, and references; however the
latter, together, should not exceed 15 lines.
At the top of the abstract, please include the names and affiliations
of all authors, and the email address of the author who will handle
correspondence. Also indicate whether you wish your abstract to be
considered for PAPER ONLY, POSTER ONLY, or PAPER OR POSTER. The last
category means that you would be willing to present your work as a
poster should the abstract not be accepted for the spoken paper
sessions. Please leave several blank lines between this information
and the abstract proper (title and text), to facilitate anonymous
review.
HOW TO SUBMIT ABSTRACTS
We will accept email submissions only. These should be addressed to:
<sentproc at email.gc.cuny.edu>
Please use plain text if possible, and use the subject header:
"Abstract"
If you submit more than one abstract, each must be separately mailed
(and each will be separately acknowledged).
