FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF THE CONFERENCE

The CUNY Conference operates on a shoe-string.  We have always kept
registration fees as low as possible, especially for students.  The way
we make ends meet (barely!) is by contributions from CUNY and other
institutions.  We are immensely grateful for this financial support,
and encourage you to encourage your administration to make a donation
to this good cause.  We can provide wording you could use in a request
letter.  Any amount is welcome!  In the past, contributions have ranged
from $300 to $5000.

So please -- approach your dean, your provost, or the financial officer
of your company, and explain what a valuable forum the CUNY Conference
is for the exchange of research ideas.

                          ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS

The 15th Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing solicits
abstracts for papers and posters presenting theoretical, experimental
or computational research on any aspect of human sentence processing.
Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously, and will be considered for both
the general conference sessions and the special sessions on "Processing
at the Interfaces".

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Monday, December 3, 2001

This submission deadline applies to all submissions, whether for paper
or poster presentation.  We envisage making notifications concerning
acceptance/rejection by December 31, 2001.

WHAT TO SUBMIT IN YOUR ABSTRACT

The text of the abstract should be no longer than 400 words.  You may
also include examples, references and data summaries (but please, no
data charts or diagrams).  This additional material, taken together,
should not exceed 15 lines of text.

At the top of the abstract, please include the names and affiliations
of all authors; also include an email address of the author who will
handle correspondence.  Please indicate whether you wish your abstract
to be considered for PAPER ONLY, POSTER ONLY, or PAPER OR POSTER.  The
last category means that you would be willing to present your work as a
poster should the abstract not be accepted for the spoken sessions.
Please leave several blank lines between this information and the
abstract proper (title and text), to facilitate anonymous review.

We will accept e-mail submissions only, addressed to the conference's
correspondence address, i.e., sentproc at gc.cuny.edu

   = The text of the abstract must be in the body of the e-mail.

     Use the subject header "Abstract".

(and each will be acknowledged separately).
