The North-West Centre for Romance Linguistics will be hosting a
workshop on Computers and Romance Languages, at UMIST in Manchester on
11-12 March 1994. The topics to be covered are computer-assisted
language learning, corpus linguistics and natural language
processing. There are two aims: (i) to provide a forum for
computational linguists who have an interest in Romance languages;
(ii) to introduce the various linguistic applications of computers
to students and staff in Romance language departments. Speakers
will be from Canada, France, Great Britain, Italy and Spain.

The probable cost is 40 pounds (covering registration and a buffet
lunch on the Saturday), with a discount for students.
