This is a session of the following conference: 20th International
Conference on Computational Linguistics
Meeting Description:
Tutorials for the 20th International Conference on Computational
Linguistics Coling 2004 Call for Tutorial Proposals
Geneva, Switzerland, 22 August, 2004
The Coling 2004 Tutorial Organising Committee invites proposals for
the Tutorial Programme for Coling 2004. The tutorials will be held 22
August, 2004, immediately preceding the main conference 23-27 August,
2004.
Each tutorial should be well-focused so that its core content can be
covered in a three hour tutorial slot (including a 30 minute break).
We expect that there will be space and time for at most four
tutorials.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Proposals for tutorials should contain:
* A title and brief content description of the tutorial topic (no more
than one page)
* The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the
tutorial speakers, with a one-paragraph statement of the speaker's(s')
research interests and areas of expertise. In case of multiple
speakers, please identify proposal contact
* Pre-requisites expected from participants
* Any special requirements for technical needs (beamer, computer
infrastructure, etc.)
Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII text or PDF
as soon as possible, but no later than 15 December 2003 to
coling2004-tutorials at cui.unige.ch. The subject line should be: ''COLING 2004
TUTORIAL PROPOSAL''.
Notification of acceptance will be sent to proposers by 16 January, 2004.
PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS
Accepted tutorial speakers must provide final descriptions of their
tutorials for inclusion in the Conference Registration material by 21 May,
2004. The description must be provided in three formats: a latex version
that fits onto 1/2 page using a latex template to be provided; an ASCII
version that can be included with the email announcement; an HTML version
(without applets, etc.) that can be included on the Conference home page.
Tutorial speakers must provide tutorial materials, containing at least
copies of the slides used in the presentation as well as a bibliography for
the material covered, by 4 June, 2004.
Finances: the reimbursement for tutorial speakers has yet to be finalised.
The reimbursement will consist of a flat amount per tutorial, plus a
proportion of the registration fees for each registrant in excess of 20
registrants. Note that this reimbursement will be per tutorial, not per
presenter: multiple presenters will split the proceeds, the default
assumption being an even split. In addition, registration fees for the
main conference will be waived for one speaker per tutorial. No further
expenses will be reimbursed. Note that timely availability of tutorial
materials is a precondition for reimbursement.

Meeting Description:
The Linguistic Association of the Southwest (LASSO) is a regional
linguistics association in the United States whose purpose is the
advancement of the scientific study of language, particularly in the
geographical region covering the states of Arizona, Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. While
LASSO is primarily interested in languages of the southwestern states,
it draws its membership from any region in the world. The University
of Texas-Pan American is set to host the 32nd annual meeting of the
Linguistic Association of the Southwest (LASSO) titled ''Crossing
Linguistic Borders,'' Oct. 17-19.
The opening session will be Friday, Oct. 17 at 8:30 a.m. in the UTPA
Media Theatre. Concurrent sessions by linguists from throughout the
United States, Mexico, Australia, Korea and elsewhere will deliver
papers on topics ranging from phonology of Spanish through colonial
documents of Texas to Spanish heritage speakers engaging in the
writing process. Additional papers in linguistics from other areas
will also be presented.
The Friday session will feature speaker Joshua A. Fishman, professor
emeritus from Yeshiva University and general editor of the
International Journal of the Sociology of Language at 10:45
a.m. Fishman will speak on ''Distancing and Interaction: The Status
Agenda in Corpus Planning.'' Dr. José G. Moreno de Alba, research
fellow of the Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas and professor
at UNAM, will speak on ''El Atlas Lingüístico de México'' Saturday,
Oct. 18 at 10:45 a.m. in the UTPA Media Theatre. Peter Gingiss,
professor at the University of Houston, will deliver the presidential
address Saturday at 6:15 p.m. The program can be seen after Aug. 1 on
