The Penn Linguistics Club Announces

The 26th Annual Penn Linguistics Colloquium

Friday through Sunday, March 1 through March 3, 2002
At the University of Pennsylvania campus in Philadelphia

Invited Speaker: Ivan Sag, Stanford University

Papers on any topic in linguistics and associated fields are
welcome. Speakers will have twenty minutes for their
presentations and five minutes for discussion and questions.

This year's Colloquium will feature a special session on
"Advances in computational methods: Innovations in
theory and analysis". We are soliciting papers describing
computational methodologies in furtherance of more general
linguistic understanding. This includes, but is not limited to,
papers on formal language theory and computational models of
natural data. We are interested in papers from across the
spectrum of theoretical and applied linguistics and related
fields.

Prospective speakers may submit their abstracts by filling out
the online form at
http://wave.ldc.upenn.edu/plc26/index.php4. The form accepts
papers in the DOC, RTF, HTML, PS, DVI, PDF, and TXT
formats. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee correct font
outputs for RTF or DOC. Abstracts should be no longer than
2 pages in 12-point font with 1-inch margins. Please do not
include your name or affiliation on the abstracts themselves.
Abstracts should reach us no later than Sunday, January
13, 2002. Notification of acceptance/rejection should be
expected by February 1, 2002.
