The Columbia School is a group of linguists developing the theoretical framework established by the late William Diver. In this framework language is seen as a symbolic tool whose structure is shaped both by its communicative function and by the characteristics of its human users. Grammatical analyses seek to explain the distribution of linguistic forms as an interaction between meaningful signals and pragmatic and functional factors such as inference, ease of processing, iconicity, and the like. Phonological analyses seek to explain the syntagmatic and paradigmatic distributions of phonological units within signals, also drawing on both communicative function and human physiological and psychological characteristics. Please submit: 3 copies of a one-page anonymous abstract (optional second page for references and/or examples), to the address below. a 3x5 index card with the following information: title of paper author's name and affiliation address, phone number, and e-mail address for notification E-mail abstracts should include the above information, which will be deleted before the abstracts are reviewed.

liia.u-strasbg.fr>!!! Concerns all students in Logic, Linguistics and Computer Science !!! ============================================================================== SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS THE ESSLLI'99 STUDENT SESSION August 9-20, 1999, Utrecht, The Netherlands Deadline : March 15th, 1999 http://www-ensais.u-strasbg.fr/LIIA/todirascu/esslli-fr.html We are pleased to announce the Student Session of the 11th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI'99) organized by the University of Utrecht under the auspices of the European Association for Logic, Language and Information (FOLLI) and located at the University of Utrecht in August 1999. We will welcome submission of papers for presentation at the ESSLLI'99 Student Session and appearance in the proceedings. =============================================================================== PURPOSE: This is going to be the fourth ESSLLI Student Session and it will provide, like the other editions, an opportunity for ESSLLI participants who are students to present their own WORK IN PROGRESS and get feedback from their colleagues and fellow-students. It is desired that papers presenting creative and innovative ideas will be submitted. The ESSLLI'99 Student Session encourages submissions from students at any level, from undergraduates - before completion of the Master Thesis as well as postgraduates - before completion of the PhD degree. We will not accept papers co-authored by non-students. As in the previous editions, the ESSLLI'99 Student Session will consist of paper presentations. The ESSLLI'99 Student Session has its own timeslot in the school's schedule: 60 minutes every day for two weeks, provided that a sufficient number of good quality papers is accepted. Each presentation will last 30 minutes (including 10 minutes of discussion). ============================================================================== REQUIREMENTS: The Student Session papers should describe original, unpublished work, completed or in progress that demonstrates insight, creativity, and promise. No previously published papers should be submitted. Papers will cover topics within the six ESSLLI subject areas (Logic, Linguistics, Computation, Logic&Linguistics, Logic&Computation, Linguistics&Computation). The accepted papers will be published in the ESSLLI'99 Student Session proceedings, which will be made available during ESSLLI'99, together with the readers of the courses. =============================================================================== FORMAT OF SUBMISSION: Student authors should submit an anonymous extended abstract headed by the paper title, not to exceed 5 pages of length exclusive of references and a separate identification page (see below). Note that the length of the full papers will not be allowed to exceed 10 pages. Since reviewing will be blind, the body of the abstract should omit author names and addresses. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity (e.g., " We previously showed (Smith, 1991)... ") should be avoided. It is possible to use instead references like " Smith (1991) previously showed...". To identify each paper, a separate identification page should be supplied containing the paper's title, the name(s) of the author(s), the author(s)s'affiliation and complete address(s) a short (5 lines) summary and a specification of the subject area to which the paper belongs. The subject areas considered are: Logic, Linguistics, Computation, Logic&Linguistics, Logic&Computation, and Linguistics & Computation. ============================================================================== MEDIA OF SUBMISSION AND FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS: The student authors should submit their papers electronically to: amaliaMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
