cs.vassar.edu>COMPUTERS AND THE HUMANITIES For over thirty years, Computers and the Humanities (CHum) has been the premier international journal for publications on language, text, and humanities-related research. Starting with the publication of volume 31, CHum is taking on a new look, with a new cover and format, together with a new editorial staff representing areas across the variety of disciplines covered by the journal. In addition to continuing to publish top-quality articles covering all kinds of textual analysis, corpus studies, and language and literary analysis, we are actively seeking to extend our scope to cover the full range of materials which are available for research in humanities disciplines, including images, sound, speech data, etc. We invite the submission of high-quality articles describing research concerning the creation, representation, and maintenance of text resources and other media, as well as descriptions of methodologies and results of research using such materials, including statistical and symbolic methods, strategies for information storage and retrieval, etc. In keeping with Chum's long tradition of fostering inter-disiplinary work, we also encourage submission of articles involving multi-lingual and/or multi-modal applications and research. We extend a special invitation for articles which survey the current state-of-the-art in any relevant area. Such articles should provide an overview of past and recent work, an assessment of the current achievements and directions for future research, and a full bibliography which may serve as a reference for those interested in the field. For a recent example, see "Current Approaches to Punctuation in Computational Linguistics", B. Say and V. Akman, Chum 30:6 (1996). In addition to publishing full-length research articles, CHum also publishes a section on Reports and Discussion, which includes shorter articles reporting on projects, intermediate results, or discussing relevant issues. Contributions to this section are also solicited.
