SINN UND BEDEUTUNG IX - 9th Annual Meeting of the Gesellschaft fuer
Semantik

The Sinn und Bedeutung meetings aim to provide a platform for
semanticists to present recent work. The area of interest includes all
topics from current semantic research: formal semantics, cognitive
semantics, descriptive semantics, typological semantics, historical
semantics, philosophy of language etc.

The Gesellschaft fuer Semantik (GfS) is pleased to announce its Ninth
Annual Meeting Sinn und Bedeutung IX to be held November 1-3, 2004, at
the University of Nijmegen (The Netherlands). The conference will
consist of three parallel sessions. We encourage proposals on any
topic in formal semantics or pragmatics, cognitive semantics, the
syntax-semantics interface, typological and historical research in
semantics, or related issues. The conference languages will be English
and German.

Presentations will be allotted thirty minutes with fifteen minutes for
discussion.

CALL FOR PAPERS

NASSLLI 2004 STUDENT SESSION
June 21-25, 2004
UCLA
Deadline: April 12, 2004
http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/nassllii04/

MEETING DESCRIPTION:

The 3rd North American Summer School on Logic, Language, and
Information (NASSLLI) will be held June 21-25, 2004. It will again
feature a Student Session where students can network and get feedback
on their work -- both from faculty and student attendees. This CFP
solicits submissions to the student session. We invite submission of
anonymous abstracts for a 20-minute presentation plus 10-minute
discussion. Only one individual or joint abstract per author will be
accepted. All authors must be students (before receipt of PhD).

 The areas of interest are

Logic -- including work on problems of mathematical or philosophical
interest
Language -- including descriptive or theoretical work in formal 
linguistics
Language and Logic -- applications of logic to natural language
Language and Computation -- theoretical and empirical work in 
computational linguistics
Logic and Computation -- automated theorem-proving and related fields
Computation -- artificial intelligence or related areas of computer 
science

Work integrating several of these areas is of particular interest.

 Requirements

 The Student Session papers should describe original, unpublished
work that has been completed. However, no previously published papers
should be submitted.

All authors must be at the pre-doctoral level; submissions co-authored
by non-students will be discarded.

 Format of Submission

 3 page extended abstracts are to be submitted by email as Adobe
Portable Document Files (PDF). This file must include a separate
identification page including the following pieces of information:

 Title: title of the submission
First author: firstname lastname
Address: address of the first author
 ......
 Last author: firstname lastname
Address: address of the last author
Short summary: abstract (5 lines)
Subject area (one or two of): Logic | Language | Computation
Other Conferences Submitted To:

Neither this identification page, nor any bibliography counts towards
the 3 page requirement.

Since reviewing will be blind, the body of the extended abstract
should omit author names and addresses. Furthermore, self-references
that reveal the author's identity (e.g., "We previously showed
(Hi-Mom, 1996)... ") should be avoided. It is possible to use instead
references like "Hi-Mom (1996) previously showed..."

The PDF of the paper is to be enclosed in an email duplicating the
information on the identification page. Use US Letter paper and LaTeX
if possible.

Please email submissions to Greg Kobele <kobelehumnet.ucla.edu> by
APRIL 12th 2004.

NASSLLI '04

 At least one author needs to register for NASSLLI '04 in order to be

with up to 10 minutes for discussion.
