We are encouraging exhibits and demonstrations at ACL-92, the 30th
Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics,
which will be held from 28 June through 2 July in Newark, Delaware,
in the United States.

Authors of papers or academics without grants or contract support may
present their demonstrations without making a donation, but universities
and research labs that demo research rather than commercial software,
and small entrepreneurs, are requested to donate $125 to cover expenses.
Commercial software and hardware enterprises are requested to donate $350.

If you are interested or can suggest names to contact, please send
email addresses and/or phone numbers to:

	 SURVEY OF COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS COURSES

		 URGENT NEED FOR INFORMATION

As a follow-on to the Directory of Computational Linguistics Courses
recently compiled by Martha Evens, the Association for Computational
Linguistics will publish a new edition of the Survey of Computational
Linguistics Courses. (See Computational Linguistics, volume 12 (1986)
for the previous version compiled by Robin Cohen.) We are eager to
include two types of courses: those that teach computational
linguistics as the sole topic and those that teach computational
linguistics as one of many topics. The survey will allow us to share
with colleagues ideas on how to teach computational linguistics. It
will also provide an idea of how the field of computational
linguistics is being portrayed to potential new researchers.

Our listing will include the name and address of the University and
Department(s) offering the course, the name and number of the course,
the type of course, and information about the syllabus (e.g., topics,
texts used, format, workload, enrollment, duration, and assistance).
In addition we will include some statistics on the responses (i.e.,
total number of courses having particular characteristics) and a
bibliography of the most of frequently cited references.

Please request guidelines as to content and format and send
information to:

If your institution was listed in the 1986 compilation, you may
request a copy of your previous entry.
