 Final call for papers for the second conference on

 (PREFERABLY) NON-LEXICAL SEMANTICS

The conference will be hosted by the University of Paris 7 (France), and
will take place in May 28-30, 1998

There will be three one hour talks by invited speakers (E. Zimmermann, S.
Tsohatzidis and X.) and the rest of the talks will be contributed papers
chosen by the program committee on selection basis. Submissions of
abstracts (in English or in French) for 30-minute contributed talks (with
10 additional minutes for discussion) on any topic in the semantic analysis
of natural languages, with strong preference for non-lexical semantics, are
welcome. Authors should submit 5 copies of (so called "anonymous")
abstracts, no more than two pages (but not significantly less than 2 pages)
long. Data allowing us to identify and contact the author (or authors)
should be given separately.

E-mail submissions will be accepted (only when in LaTex, Word or PS). In
this case authors shoud send a title page with authors' name, etc. in
addition to the anonymous two page abstract.

Abstract deadline: March 17, 1998.
