    Meeting Description:

    Focus Symposium on LANGUAGE MANAGEMENT AND LANGUAGE ENGINEERING: Cybernetics of Language. August 1, 2004, Baden-Baden, Germany. Part of 16th International Conference on Systems Research, Informatics and Cybernetics (InterSymp 2004), to be held July 29 - August 5, 2004. CALL FOR PAPERS: LANGUAGE MANAGEMENT AND LANGUAGE ENGINEERING

    InterSymp-2004 16th International Conference on Systems Research, Informatics and Cybernetics to be held July 29 - August 5, 2004 in Baden-Baden, Germany announces Special Focus Symposium on:

    LANGUAGE MANAGEMENT AND LANGUAGE ENGINEERING: Cybernetics of Language August 1, 2004

    Chair: Dr. Stijn Hoppenbrouwers, University of Nijmegen, NL Conference Chair: Prof. George E. Lasker, IIAS, Windsor, Canada

    Focus of the Symposium

    The focus is on theories, methods and practices concerning the control of and communication about language, in view of its (intended) use in some communicational context. In the center of our focus are processes that lead to language specifications (including all sorts of conceptual specifications) intended for computer-related use. However, related issues extend into the world of organizational communication, and far beyond (education, politics, technology, science, engineering, literature, art, etc.)

    Though standardization (of terminologies, ontologies, etc.) is a powerful means of controlling language, it cannot be the whole answer. Language is an evolving creature by nature. Its evolution mostly takes place beyond explicitly exercised control, i.e. through ''natural change'', but it can also be subject to purposeful engineering or management. We are particularly interested in language evolution as part of processes for achieving shared meaning and understanding among conversation participants.

    Topics may include, but are not limited to:

    -Theory and practices concerning language management and control -The role of language in (2nd order) cybernetics and Conversation Theory -Application of Conversation Theory to language management and control -The role of language in evolutionary systems -The role of language in information and knowledge system development -Language-related aspects of formalization processes -Language specification processes in knowledge engineering -Language specification processes in information systems development -Domain modeling and conceptual modeling processes -Terminology management -Processes or procedures in lexicology, translation, and localization -Cognitive, social, or psycholinguistic aspects of (cooperative) conceptualization -Support (computerized or otherwise) of cooperative conceptualization processes

    Phonologie und Phonetik Short Title: PP

    Date: 18-Jun-2000 - 19-Jun-2000 Location: Potsdam (Brandenbourg), Germany Contact: Caroline Fery Contact Email: feryrz.uni-potsdam.de

    Linguistic Sub-field: Phonetics ,Phonology

    Call Deadline: 28-Mar-2004

    Meeting Description:

    This call addresses phonologists and phoneticians working on German or in a German speaking country, and is therefore formulated in German. Wir moechten unter diesem Titel halbjaehrliche oder jaehrliche Treffen der Phonologen und Phonetiker im deutschsprachigen Raum initiieren. Wir bieten dies als eine Art Fortsetzung von PPSW (damals: im Suedwesten) in den 90er Jahren an. Wie damals denken wir dabei an einen informellen Rahmen mit Vortraegen durch Anmeldung, und Zeit zum Austausch und zur Diskussion. Es sind keine Keynote-Sprecher geplant, und jede(r) sorgt für die eigene Unterbringung und Reise. Wir wollen dazu ermutigen, gelegentlich auch Vortraege mit Literaturueberblicken zu neuen Entwicklungen von allgemeinem Interesse anzubieten.

    Für das erste Treffen moechten wir zum 18. und 19. Juni 2004 an die Universitaet Potsdam einladen. Wenn Sie einen Vortrag anmelden wollen, oder wenn Sie in die Mailing-Liste aufgenommen werden wollen, schicken Sie bitte eine email an Caroline (feryrz.uni-potsdam.de). Wir wuerden gerne Ende Maerz ein vorlaeufiges Programm vorstellen koennen.

    Wir denken an Vortraege von 30 oder 45 Minuten plus Diskussion, und wollen die Laenge der Vortraege entsprechend dem Interesse einheitlich entscheiden.

    Die Web-Seite für das Treffen in Potsdam finden Sie unter http://www2.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/~hubert/PundP1/index.html. Dort soll spaeter auch das Programm sowie weitere Details zur Verfuegung stehen.

    Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Zuschriften. Mit schoenen Gruessen,

    Caroline Féry und Hubert Truckenbrodt
