The Modern Language Association (MLA) will be sponsoring a special
Discussion Group this December in New Orleans, Louisiana on the use of
Computer Studies in Language and Literature.

We would like to take this opportunity to strongly encourage the
participation of any interested "LinguistList-ers" in this event.

The entire MLA convention will take place from December 27-30; the date of
our discussion group is yet to be determined but will land within this time
frame.

**********

The session title is: "Digital Approaches to Language and Text: Words,
Images and Beyond"

We are interested in current studies in stylistics, authorship,
linguistics, pedagogy, quantitative and qualitative analysis with
particular interest in new directions (proposed or realized).

***********

Please submit abstracts via e-mail by March 1 to Henry Biggs at:
hbiggs at artsci.wustl.edu

Please also note that if your paper is accepted you will need to become a
member of MLA, and the deadline to do that, officially, is April 1.
