Submission

accepted for a few hours after the deadline, but we're not making any promises.)
Submit your paper via the web at
http://www.easychair.org/DECALOG2007/
Before submitting you must register with the website and receive a password by
email; please do this well ahead of your submission, since email is sometimes
unreliable. You will also need to fill out a web form with the author details
and type in (or paste) a short plain-text abstract (up to 200 words), in
addition to uploading your full abstract.
The full abstract should be a PDF file, 2 pages long (including data, tables,
figures, and references), A4 paper size, 11pt Times font, 2.5 cm (1 inch)
margins, 2-column format. You may find it convenient to use the style files
provided by COLING/ACL 2006. Submission is NOT anonymous: please include the
authors' names, affiliations, and e-mails.
Submissions will not be peer-reviewed, but evaluated for relevance only by the
program committee chairs. Due to limited space at the workshop site, we ask
authors to limit their submissions to one poster/demo.
Proceedings
The accepted 2-page abstracts will be distributed in a proceedings volume at the
workshop.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can
receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit
organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift
you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human
resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns
to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the
value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment
to check if your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
