The Fifth Symposium on Natural Language Processing and Oriental
COCOSDA 2002 will be jointly held in a single all-encompassing event
called SNLP-O-COCOSDA 2002. This international joint conference is
hosted by Thammasat University in cooperation with the Thailand's
National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC). The
Symposium on Natural Language Processing (SNLP) is an international
conference held biannually since 1993 with the cooperative effort of a
number of universities in Thailand. The purpose of SNLP is to promote
research in Natural Language Processing by bringing together
researchers and practitioners in the field to exchange ideas and
present results from research in Natural Language Processing and
various related fields.  Oriental COCOSDA is an international workshop
held annually by the oriental chapter of The International Committee
for the Co-ordination and Standardization of Speech Databases and
AssessmentTechniques for Speech Input/Output. The first preparatory
meeting was held in Hong Kong and then the past four workshops were
held in Japan, Taiwan, China and Korea. The fifth workshop will be
held in Thailand incorporated into SNLP-2002. Papers are invited on
substantial, original, and unpublished research on all aspects of
computational linguistics, including, but not limited to:

* pragmatics and discourse
* semantics, syntax and the lexicon
* phonetics, phonology and morphology
* interpreting and generating spoken and written language
* linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language
* information retrieval, information extraction, text mining
* corpus-based language modeling
* multi-lingual processing
* machine translation and translation aids
* natural language interfaces and dialogue systems
* message and narrative understanding systems
* pattern recognition
* applied NLP systems
* language processing in internet applications
* human processing of language and speech
* tools and resources for natural language processing
* evaluation of natural language systems
* speech processing
* evaluation of speech understanding/dialogue systems
* multi-modal speech corpora
* speech corpus annotation tools
* spoken language processing

Subject:  Call for Papers on English as a lingua franca and an official language

The editors of the Linguistic Association of Korea (LAK) Journal will
produce Volume 10, No. 1 in Spring, 2001. It will be specialized for
'English as a lingua franca and English as an official language.' We
chose this topic to upgrade the on-going debate on English as an
official language in Korea with professional insight. We will be happy
to see papers on the valuable experience of the countries which
already faced the challenge. We also welcome submission of papers on
all topics in the field of theoretical and applied linguistics
including language teaching. The language of publication is English.
