Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

Advances in linguistic theory have often been a direct result of the
application of general computational principles to the study of grammar.
Historically, this includes the introduction of completely new grammar
formalisms founded on logic, probability or information theory, and neural
networks (e.g. TG, GPSG, TAG, CCG, MG, HG/OT). Further developments in
computation continue to drive innovative approaches to linguistics,
influencing foundational assumptions concerning the types  of representations
and architectures that characterize grammar. This workshop addresses recent
insights in linguistic theory that have been enabled by computationally-driven
approaches and formalisms.

The workshop will consist of talks by the following people:

- Janet Pierrehumbert (Oxford)
- Mark Steedman (Edinburgh)
- Gaja Jarosz (UMass)
- Stephen Clark (Cambridge)
- Jenny Culbertson (Edinburgh)

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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!
