2nd CALL FOR PAPERS: LFG COLLOQUIUM AND WORKSHOPS August 25--27, 1996 Grenoble, France PLEASE NOTE: The organizers of LFG Colloquium and Workshops, to be held in Grenoble, France on August 25-27, 1995 (see announcement below), would like to make it known that students are encouraged to submit abstracts for the colloquium and workshops. Special attention will be paid to defraying the costs of students whose abstracts are accepted, and who wish to participate/might not otherwise be able to participate. An LFG colloquium and workshops will take place in August 1996 in Grenoble, France. Papers are invited both within the formal architecture of lexical-functional grammar and in the `spirit of LFG', as a lexicalist approach to language within a parallel, constraint-based framework. There will be a series of 20-minute talks (with 10 minutes for discussion), as well as workshops (see below). The talks may present results from completed as well as ongoing research, with an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational. Abstract submissions should include: - Five copies of a one-page abstract of the paper with a title. OMIT name and affiliation. A second page may be used for data, c-/f- and related structures, and references, but not for text. - A 3" by 5" card with the title of the paper and the name(s) of the author(s), address and e-mail address. - If possible, please send a postscript or ascii file of the abstract via email IN ADDITION TO the five hard copies. Papers may be placed into appropriate workshops in consultation with author(s). Abstracts should be sent to Tracy Holloway King and Miriam Butt by FEBRUARY 1, 1996 at the following address: Tracy Holloway King/Miriam Butt (LFG workshop) Linguistics Department Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305-2150 USA thkingMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issuecsli.stanford.edu or mutt
ims.uni-stuttgart.de Important dates: February 1, 1996: deadline for receipt of abstracts April 1, 1996: deadline for notification of acceptance (we will send notification earlier if possible) We are also interested in organizing a number of workshops on topics such as: Semantic representations and reasoning for LFG Relating projections (mappings between syntax, semantics, prosody, ...) Constraint competition (in, e.g., binding theory, weak crossover) Lexicality/complex predicates, and mapping theory Phrase structure typology (flat vs. extended X-bar structures) Formal architecture, formal langage results, complexity Implementing LFG: algorithms, data structures and efficiency. Workshop on grammar writing projects Proposals for workshops are also welcome; please contact Chris Manning at the following address by February 1, 1996 to propose a workshop or to volunteer to help organize a workshop.

Colleagues, Here is a brief update on plans for the upcoming ICSLP 96 conference. Hope to see you there. Tim Bunnell, Chair Rick Foulds, Vice Chair Fourth International Conference on Spoken Language Processing October 3-6, 1996 Wyndham Franklin Plaza Hotel Philadelphia, PA, USA ===================================================================== IIII CCCCC SSSSS LL PPPPPP 999999 666666 II CC CC SS SS LL PP PP 99 99 66 66 II CC SS LL PP PP 99 99 66 II CC SSSSSSS LL PPPPPP 9999999 6666666 II CC SS LL PP 99 66 66 II CC CC SS SS LL PP 99 99 66 66 IIII CCCCC SSSSS LLLLLLL PP 999999 666666 ===================================================================== I. Abstract Submission Due Date Please note that abstracts for ICSLP 96 should be submitted by January 15, 1996. II. Proceedings plans Conference proceedings will be available in both print and CDROM format. It now appears that we will also be able to accommodate some limited multi-media features with the CDROM version of the proceedings. Authors whose papers are accepted for the conference will be able to submit digitized speech and possibly short "movie" sequences for inclusion with their papers on CDROM. Details regarding acceptable formats and amount of data will will be available later. Needless to say, authors will be required to submit audio/visual information in machine readable format. III. Technical Program Committee Chairs. Steve Levinson, Mark Liberman, and Maureen Stone (alphabetically) have agreed to co-chair the Technical Program Committee for ICSLP 96. IV. Plenary Speakers We are pleased to announce that Professors James Flanagan and Anne Cutler have agree to present plenary lectures at ICSLP 96. ============================================================================== ICSLP unites researchers, developers, and clinicians for an exchange on a wide variety of topics related to spoken language processing by humans and machines. Conference presentations range from basic acoustic phonetic research to clinically oriented speech training devices to speech-based natural language interfaces for man-machine interaction. ICSLP 96 will feature technical sessions in both oral and poster format, plenary talks, commercial exhibits, and daily special sessions. In addition, satellite workshops will be held in conjunction with the conference in the areas of interactive voice technology, spoken dialogue, speech databases and speech I/O, and the integration of gestures and speech. A new emphasis for ICSLP 96 will be on the clinical applications of speech technology, including the use of speech technology based applications for persons with disabilities. Dates to Note: January 15, 1996 - Paper abstracts due for review March 15, 1996 - Acceptance notification May 1, 1996 - Deadline for papers (camera-ready, 4 pp) ______________For more information about ICSLP 96, contact_____________________ ICSLP 96 Applied Science & Engineering Laboratories A.I. duPont Institute P.O.
