cst.ku.dk>COLING-96 The 16th International Conference on Computational Linguistics Monday August 5 - Friday August 9 1996 Copenhagen, Denmark 2nd Circular and Registration Handbook Under the Patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra of Denmark COLING is held every other year under the auspices of the International Committee on Computational Linguistics - ICCL. This year, the 16th COLING will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark, under the Patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra of Denmark. COLING consistently offers excellent possibilities for presenting, listening to, and discussing the latest developments, within theoretical as well as practical computational linguistics. This year the programme covers a wide variety of themes, just to mention a few: evergreens such as morphology, syntax, semantics and parsing, as well as sessions on resources and corpus-based methods, speech and language, and NLP in Multimedia. During COLING, poster sessions, demonstrations and book exhibition take place, and the PRE-COLING programme includes tutorials and workshops. Copenhagen is Cultural City in 1996, so apart from participating in the conference, you may take advantage of the numerous cultural events. We look forward to receiving you here in Copenhagen, Professor Bente Maegaard Center for Sprogteknologi Local Organizer Scope of the Conference Conference dates: August 5 (Mon) - 9 (Fri), 1996 Conference place: The University of Copenhagen, Denmark Local Organizer: Prof. Bente Maegaard Center for Sprogteknologi, Denmark Programme Chairman: Prof. Jun-ichi Tsujii CCL, UMIST & University of Tokyo Programme Committee Chair: J.
