			 CALL FOR PAPERS


Our Symposia on Logic and Language have aimed at promoting the
interaction between formal linguists and logicians. They are
organized every second year, once by the Department of Logic and
Methodology of Science, once by the Theoretical Linguistics Programme
of the Lorand Eotvos University of Budapest (which is a joint
department of the University and Research Institute for Linguistics of
the Hungarian Academy of Sciences). In 1988, it is the Theoretical
Linguistics Programme's turn.

The conference will be held in Budapest, on August 29 to September 1,
1998. The topic of the 6th Symposium is ``Uses of Indefinite
Expressions''.

Papers are invited to contribute to the problem of how the various
expressions traditionally considered indefinite are used.


Deadlines.
- --------

The deadline for submission of abstracts is February 15, 1998.
Acceptance notifications will be sent out by May 1, 1988. Those who
wish to participate must register with us before May 20, 1988. The
camera-ready versions of the papers must be submitted by August 25,
1988; they will be photocopied and offered to the participants at the
Symposium.


Presentations.
- ------------

Each presentation will be 20 minutes long, followed by 10 minutes of
discussion.


Submission format.

The abstracts are to be submitted by e-mail, to the following address:
kalmannytud.hu (Laszlo Kalman). The camera-ready versions are to be
printed on A4 type paper, with 1 inch left, right, top and bottom
margins, in 10 point font (preferably TeX or LaTeX, Computer Modern),
and their length must not exceed 10 pages.

Attached is the final call-for-paper, with a new deadline, for
a special issue of Information Processing & Management. The change
is in response to a number of requests for such an extension.
Those people who have submitted an article are welcome to submit
a revised one if necessary.

 Special Issue of Information Processing & Management
			on
	Information Retrieval with Asian Languages

Interest is growing in effective and efficient retrieval of relevant
information from large unstructured databases. Research in
information retrieval (IR) has expanded its scope widely with advances
in related areas such as natural language processing, machine
learning, and human-computer interactions. Especially with the
explosion of information in the World Wide Web, the need for
information retrieval and related functions has become ubiquitos
regardless of languages and cultures. This special issue of
Information Processing & Management, an international journal with a
strong emphasis on information retrieval, will be devoted to research
and development in information retrieval with Asian languages.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

- retrieval or routing of texts at variouls levels of granularity
- cross-language text retrieval
- automated text categorization
- infomation extraction and filtering
- automatic text summarization (including automatic abstracting)
- use of machine readable dictionaries and/or thesauri
- language- or task-specific user interfaces for IR-related systems
- various natural language processing techqniques for IR-related tasks

Interested authors should submit five copies of their articles by 
January 31, 1998, to:
