JCI Summer School at Edinburgh: Preliminary Announcement

The Joint Council Initiative in Cognitive Science/HCI is sponsoring a
Summer School in Cognitive Science and HCI, hosted by the Human
Communication Research Centre at Edinburgh University.

This Summer School will consist of invited tutorials and talks. The
goal is to present a selection of theories and their applications
from several diverse areas within cognitive science and HCI.

The Summer School will take place in Edinburgh on 5--9 September 1993,
conveniently consecutive to the Edinburgh International Festival.

The list of invited speakers includes:

Herb Clark (Stanford, USA), John Etchemendy (Stanford, USA), Gerald
Gazdar (Sussex, UK), Thomas Green (Cambridge, UK), George Houghton
(UCL, UK), Jon Oberlander (Edinburgh, Scotland), David Rumelhart
(Stanford, USA)

We anticipate being able to provide a limited number of bursaries for
students to attend the Summer School.

Further details are available from jcisscogsci.ed.ac.uk

In light of the recent queries about various kinds of corpora, I wanted
to mention two other sources which might also be of use in this:

1) the discussion list called "CORPORA" - run by the same organization that
distributes the corpora on CD-ROM for the International Computer Archive of
Modern English.

To join the list, email a message to: CORPORA-REQUESTnora.hd.uib.no

To post a query about a corpus, email to: CORPORAnora.hd.uib.no

2) the CPET listings of corpora at Georgetown,
which are accessible interactively via telnet. For more
information, email to pmangiaficoguvax.georgetown.edu
