cs.utwente.nl>CLIN-94 Final Program CLIN-94 Fifth Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands Meeting Wednesday, November 23, 1994 University of Twente The fifth CLIN meeting will be hosted by the Parlevink Linguistic Engineering Group of the University of Twente in Enschede. At CLIN meetings, computational linguistics researchers in (or from) the Netherlands gather and present their (possibly ongoing) research. Every year a well-known speaker is invited. This year, we invited Annie Zaenen, affiliated with Rank Xerox Research Centre in Meylan, France to be this year's keynote speaker. She will talk about `Language Technology and Multilingualism'. There will be twenty-three talks and three parallel sessions. All sessions will take place in "De Vrijhof" at the campus. The participation fee is Dfl 50.The fee includes a lunch buffet, coffee and tea during the breaks and an informal reception. Payment will be made only on-site. The proceedings of the CLIN '93 meeting will be available at this year's meeting. They can also be found via WWW at URL: http://tyr.let.rug.nl/~vannoord/clin/Clin4/clin4.html It is our intention that a volume of proceedings of CLIN '94 will be produced in due time. A DVI file with the abstracts, however, can already be found at URL: http://hydra.cs.utwente.nl/~andernac/clinabstracts.dvi This information and more is also available via WWW either directly via URL: http://hydra.cs.utwente.nl/parlevink/clinprogram.html or via the CLIN Home Page with URL: http://tyr.let.rug.nl/~vannoord/clin/clin.html Program 10.30 Arrival, subscription, coffee 11.00 Annie Zaenen (Rank Xerox Research Centre, Meylan, France) Language Technology and Multilingualism Session 1 11.45 Marc de Boer, Colin Tattersall & Jacob Groote (PTT Research, Groningen) Comparing business activities based on Case Grammar representation 12.15 Bas van Bakel (KUN, Nijmegen) ELSA's Choice: Handling Syntactic Ambiguity in NLP systems 12.45 Lunch 14.00 Leen Kievit (ITK, Tilburg) Representing structural ambiguity 14.30 Johan Bos (Computerlinguistik, Universitaet des Saarlandes, Germany) Underspecified Predicate Logics 15.00 Richard F.

In addition, trains with destination Groningen/Leeuwarden may also be taken; for these, a connection train to Hengelo/Enschede waits in Amersfoort at the other side of the same platform. In all cases, the travelling time is approximately two hours and a half. If you arrive by train, you should leave the train in Hengelo, rather than in Enschede; this will shorten your trip with 10 minutes. A cheap taxi ticket (called `treintaxi') can be bought at Hengelo railway station upon arrival by showing the train ticket. The fare is fixed (Dfl 6 per person) for every destination in the neighbourhood, but usually the taxi is to be shared with others. You could also take a bus from Hengelo station to the campus (no. 15 or 51). Bus no. 15 has a stop near the Vrijhof building. Bus no. 51 stops at the campus entrance; it takes a 10 minutes walk from there to the Vrijhof. By car, take direction Enschede and in Enschede follow `Universiteit'. Accommodation The nearest hotel is the Drienerburght hotel at the campus of the University of Twente, near the conference site (less than 50 metres). The hotel phone number is +31 53 331366 and the fax number is +31 53 356770. Please let us know if you would like us to make a reservation for you. Looking forward to seeing you all in Enschede, The local organizers, Anton Nijholt Toine AnderhachMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue

let.rug.nl>********************* First Announcement ********************** Groningen Assembly on Language Acquisition 1995 University of Groningen The Netherlands 7-9 September 1995 The conference aims to bring together researchers willing to discuss the merits and constraints of different theoretical approaches to language acquisition, in particular generative linguistics, constructionism, dynamic systems modelling, and connectionism. Invited Speakers Harald Clahsen University of Essex Annette Karmiloff-Smith MRC Cog Dev Unit London Kim Plunkett University of Oxford Luigi Rizzi University of Geneva Paul van Geert University of Groningen A first call for papers and conference preregistration will appear in February 1995. The abstracts-deadline will be April 30, 1995. Abstracts may cover all aspects of language acquisition rela- ting to the core areas of linguistics, including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and the interfaces. Selection of abstracts will be based on not only their quality but also their potential to contribute to the conference's interactive objective.
