		------------------------------------
		FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

		COMPUTATIONAL PHONOLOGY
		Third Meeting of the ACL Special Interest Group
		in Computational Phonology (SIGPHON 97)

		In conjunction with
		ACL'97/EACL'97 Joint Conference
		Madrid, Spain, 11th [or 12th?] July 1997
		------------------------------------


A. Description of the workshop

The workshop will be devoted to all areas of computation, as applied
to contemporary phonology. Papers will be on substantial, original,
and unpublished research on any aspect of computational phonology,
including (but not limited to) finite-state, connectionist and logical
techniques; formalisms, implementations and complexity results;
computational, mathematical and psychological models; and the
integration of phonology with grammar and speech. Theoretical and
applied studies are equally welcome.

The workshop will occupy the whole day, with c. 10-12 papers, and a
general discussion to conclude.


B. Organizing committee and program committee.

The organizing committee will consist of the following members of the
SIGPHON executive:

	John Coleman (University of Oxford)
	Steven Bird (University of Edinburgh)
	Bob Berwick (MIT)
	Andras Kornai (IBM Almaden Research Center)

The program committee will consist of the executive plus other members
whom the executive may invite to strengthen the referee pool in
particular areas. External referees will be invited for any paper
submitted by a member of the program committee.


C. Primary contact

All correspondence should be sent to:

	John Coleman
	Oxford University Phonetics Laboratory
	41 Wellington Square
	Oxford OX1 2JF, UK
	Tel. +44 (1865) 270444
	Fax. +44 (1865) 270445
	email: john.colemanphonetics.oxford.ac.uk


D. Submission of papers

Papers should describe unique work; completed work is preferable to
intended work, but in any event the paper should clearly indicate the
state of completion of the reported results. Papers must not exceed
10 printed A4 pages.

The entire process from initial submission, to reviewing and final
submission will be handled electronically. The initial submission may
either be in plain ascii, compressed postscript, or else should follow
the ACL submission style (aclsub.sty) retrievable from the ACL
LISTSERV server (access to which is described below) which requires
TeX 3.14 or LaTeX 2.09. (La)TeX submissions that include (possibly)
separate postscript figure files must be packaged using the
aclpkg.script (also available from the LISTSERV). ASCII or postscript
is preferred, however.

Final accepted versions MUST be (la)tex files following aclsub.sty, if
necessary packaged using aclpkg.script.

A title page containing the title, a short abstract, author names and
addresses, should be attached to the submission. Postscript figures
following psfig.sty may be included.

Submissions should be sent via email to:
john.colemanphonetics.oxford.ac.uk Acknowledgment of receipt will be
sent to the first author of the paper.


IMPORTANT DATES

MARCH 31, 1997		Initial submissions due
APRIL 25, 1997. 	Notification of acceptance
MAY 25, 1997. 		Receipt of final accepted papers


E. Registration

As the costs of the workshop have not yet been finalized, registration
information will be sent out later. Note that all participants must
register for the main ACL/EACL conference. Information about the main
conference is available from the URL http://horacio.ieec.uned.ed/cl97/
There will be an additional registration fee for the workshop of
approximately US $35, which will include a copy of the workshop
proceedings.

ACL/EACL reserves the right to cancel any workshop if the number of
participants is below 25 persons.


F. AUDIO-VISUAL NEEDS.

An overhead projector will be available. Requests for other A/V
equipment should be directed to sigphon96research.att.com

G. ACL LISTSERV

LISTSERV is a facility set up at Columbia University's Department of
Computer Science to allow access to an electronic document archive by
electronic mail. Requests for files from the archive should be sent as
e-mail messages to:

 listservcs.columbia.edu

with an empty subject field and the message body containing the
request com- mand. The most useful requests are "help" for general
help on using LISTSERV, "index ACL96" for the current contents of the
ACL archive and "get ACL96 <file>" to get a particular file named
<file> from the archive. For example, to get the ACL96 modelsub.tex
file, send a message with the following body:

 get ACL96 modelsub.tex

Answers to requests are returned by e-mail. Since the server may have
many requests for different archives to process, requests are queued
up and may take awhile (say, overnight) to be fulfilled. The ACL
archive can also be accessed by anonymous FTP. Here is an example of
how to get the same file by FTP:

 $ ftp cs.columbia.edu
 Name(cs.columbia.edu:trisha): anonymous
 Password:trishacis.upenn.edu < not echoed >
 ftp> cd ACL96
 ftp> get modelsub.tex.Z
 ftp> quit
 $ uncompress modelsub.tex.Z
