Oxford University Computing Services. The subjects covered by the Centre

theatre arts, and media studies. The newsletter has a selection of short
articles relating to computer-aided learning in textual studies, a section
devoted to the Office for Humanities Communication, and has a mailing of over

centres and editions are particularly welcome.

Format: Submissions should be of approximately 1000-1500 words although this is
open to discussion with the editors. Footnotes should be limited and placed at
the end of the article. References to published works should be of the form

Screen dumps are accepted, preferably in TIFF or PICT format for the Macintosh.

 ACL-95 CALL FOR PAPERS

33rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics

 23 June - 27 June 1995
 Massachusetts Institute of Technology
 Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA

TOPICS OF INTEREST: Papers are invited on substantial, original, and
unpublished research on all aspects of computational linguistics,
including, but not limited to, pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax,
and the lexicon; phonetics, phonology, and morphology; interpreting and
generating spoken and written language; linguistic, mathematical, and
psychological models of language; language-oriented information retrieval;
corpus-based language modeling; machine translation and translation aids;
natural language interfaces and dialogue systems; message and narrative
understanding systems; and theoretical and applications papers of every
kind.

REQUIREMENTS: Papers should describe unique work; they should emphasize
completed work rather than intended work; and they should indicate clearly
the state of completion of the reported results. A paper accepted for
presentation at the ACL Meeting cannot be presented or have been presented
at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers
that are being submitted to other conferences must reflect this fact on the
title page.

FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION: Authors should submit preliminary versions of their
papers, not to exceed 3200 words (exclusive of references). Papers outside
the specified length and formatting requirements are subject to rejection
without review. Papers should be headed by a title page containing the
paper title, a short (5 line) summary and a specification of the subject
area. Since reviewing will be ``blind'', the title page of the paper should
omit author names and addresses. Furthermore, self-references that reveal
the authors' identity (e.g., ``We previously showed (Smith, 1991) . . .'')
should be avoided. Instead, use references like ``Smith previously showed
(1991) . . .'' To identify each paper, a separate identification page
should be supplied, containing the paper's title, the name(s) of the
author(s), complete addresses, a short (5 line) summary, a word count, and
a specification of the topic area.

SUBMISSION MEDIA: Papers should be submitted electronically or in hard copy
to the Program Chair:

Hans Uszkoreit
Universitaet des Saarlandes
Computerlinguistik
D-66041 Saarbruecken, Germany
Germany

Email: ACL95coli.uni-sb.de
Phone: +49-681-302-4115
Fax: +49-681-302-4700

Electronic submissions should be either self-contained LaTeX source or
plain text. LaTeX submissions must use the ACL submission style
(aclsub.sty) retrievable from the ACL LISTSERV server (access to which is
described below) and should not refer to any external files or styles
except for the standard styles for TeX 3.14 and LaTeX 2.09. A model
submission modelsub.tex is also provided in the archive, as well as a
bibliography style acl.bst. (Note however that the bibliography for a
submission cannot be submitted as separate .bib file; the actual
bibliography entries must be inserted in the submitted LaTeX source file.)

Hard copy submissions should consist of four (4) copies of the paper and
one (1) copy of the identification page. For both kinds of submissions, if
at all possible, a plain text version of the identification page should be
sent separately by electronic mail, using the following format:

title: <title>
author: <name of first author>
address: <address of first author>
...
author: <name of last author>
address: <address of last author>
abstract: < abstract>
content areas: <first area>, ..., <last area> word count:

SCHEDULE: Authors must submit their papers by 20 December 1994. Late papers
will not be considered. Notification of receipt will be mailed to the first
author (or designated author) soon after receipt. Authors will be notified
of acceptance by 15 March 1995. Camera-ready copies of final papers
prepared in a double-column format, preferably using a laser printer, must
be received by
1 May 1995, along with a signed copyright release statement. The ACL LaTeX
proceedings format is available through the ACL LISTSERV.

STUDENT SESSION: There will be special poster session for students
organized by a committee of ACL graduate student members. ACL student
members are invited to submit short papers describing innovative WORK IN
PROGRESS in any of the topics listed above. Papers are limited to 3 pages
plus a title page and an identification page in the format described above
and must be submitted by hard copy or e-mail to Vasileios Hatzivassiloglou
at the address below by 1 FEBRUARY 1995. The papers will be reviewed by a
committee of students and faculty members. Abstracts of the papers will be
published in a special section of the conference proceedings. There is a
separate call for papers, available from the ACL LISTSERV or from Vasileios
