Association for Computers and the Humanities |
(It's scheduled for June 27-July 1, 1994, at New Mexico State University.)
by Don Walker
The 32nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics will be held on June 27-July 1, 1994, at New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico, U.S.A.
Papers are invited on substantial, original, and unpublished research on all aspects of computational linguistics, including, but not limited to, pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax, and the lexicon; phonetics, phonology, and morphology; interpreting and generating spoken and written language; linguistic, mathematical, and psychological models of language; language-oriented information retrieval; corpus-based language modeling; machine translation and translation aids; natural language interfaces and dialogue systems; message and narrative understanding systems; and theoretical and applications papers of every kind.
Papers should describe unique work; they should emphasize completed work rather than intended work; and they should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results.
A paper accepted for presentation at the ACL Meeting cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences must reflect this fact on the title page.
Authors should submit preliminary versions of their papers, not to exceed 3200 words (exclusive of references). Papers outside the specified length and formatting requirements are subject to rejection without review.
Papers should be headed by a title page containing the paper title, a short (5 line) summary and a specification of the subject area. Since reviewing will be "blind," the title page of the paper should omit author names and addresses. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the authors' identity (e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) . . .") should be avoided. Instead, use references like "Smith previously showed (1991) . . ." To identify each paper, a separate identification page should be supplied, containing the paper's title, the name(s) of the author(s), complete addresses, a short (5 line) summary, a word count, and a specification of the topic area.
Papers should be submitted electronically or in hard copy to the program chair:
James Pustejovsky Brandeis University Computer Science Ford Hall Waltham, MA 02254, U.S.A. Phone: +1-617-736-2709 Fax: +1-617-736-2741 E-mail: jamesp@cs.brandeis.edu
Electronic submissions should be either self-contained LaTeX source or plain text. LaTeX submissions must use the ACL submission style, aclsub.sty, retrievable from the ACL LISTSERV server (access to which is described below) and should not refer to any external files or styles except for the standard styles for TeX 3.14 and LaTeX 2.09.
A model submission, modelsub.tex, is also provided in the archive, as well as a bibliography style acl.bst. (Note however that the bibliography for a submission cannot be submitted as separate .bib file; the actual bibliography entries must be inserted in the submitted LaTeX source file.)
Hard copy submissions should consist of four (4) copies of the paper and one (1) copy of the identification page. For both kinds of submissions, if at all possible, a plain text version of the identification page should be sent separately by electronic mail, using the following format:
title: title author: name of first author address: address of first author ... author: name of last author address: address of last author abstract: abstract content areas: first area, ..., last area word count:
Authors must submit their papers by January 6, 1994. Late papers will not be considered. Notification of receipt will be mailed to the first author (or designated author) soon after receipt. Authors will be notified of acceptance by March 15, 1994.
Camera-ready copies of final papers prepared in a double- column format, preferably using a laser printer, must be received by May 1, 1994, along with a signed copyright release statement.
The ACL LaTeX proceedings format is available through the ACL LISTSERV.
There will again be special Student Sessions organized by a committee of ACL graduate student members.
ACL student members are invited to submit short papers describing innovative work in progress in any of the topics listed above.
Papers are limited to 3 pages plus a title page and an identification page in the format described above and must be submitted by hard copy or both e-mail and hard copy to Beryl Hoffman at the address below by February 1, 1994.
The papers will be reviewed by a committee of students and faculty members for presentation in workshop-style sessions and publication in a special section of the conference proceedings.
There is a separate Call for Papers, available from the ACL LISTSERV (see below); or from:

General information about the ACL and electronic membership and order forms are available from the ACL LISTSERV.
LISTSERV is a facility to allow access to an electronic document archive by electronic mail.
The ACL LISTSERV has been set up at Columbia University's Department of Computer Science.
Requests from the archive should be sent as e-mail messages to:
listserv@cs.columbia.edu
with an empty subject field and the message body containing the request command. The most useful requests are "help" for general help on using LISTSERV, "index acl-l" for the current contents of the ACL archive and "get acl-l filename" to get a particular file named filename from the archive.
For example, to get an ACL membership form, a message with the following body should be sent:
get acl-l membership-form.txt
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 a while (say, overnight) to be fulfilled.
The ACL archive can also be accessed by anonymous FTP, or File Transfer Protocol. FTP to the address:
cs.columbia.edu
Sign on as anonymous and give your e-mail address as the password. It won't appear on the screen. Then use the command:
cd acl-l
to change to the appropriate directory. The "ls" command will show the names of the files available, and the "get filename" command will transfer the specified file to your own system.
(The conference on natural language processing techniques is set for May 18-19, 1994.)
by Jill Burstein
The Educational Testing Service Conference on Natural Language Processing Techniques in Assessment and Education will be held on May 18-19, 1994, in the Chauncey Conference Center of the Educational Testing Service, Rosedale Road, Princeton, New Jersey 08541.
Natural Language Processing Techniques have been found to be increasingly useful in the domains of assessment and education.
The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers from both the NLP, and assessment and education communities and to share ideas about how NLP techniques can be implemented to aid in tasks for assessment and education.
Speakers are being invited from industry and academia to discuss their research and applications of NLP in assessment and education.
We anticipate that the conference will encourage on-going discussion between the NLP, and assessment and education communities.
The conference will be held at the Chauncey Conference Center on ETS' Princeton campus. Chauncey Conference Center has rooms for conference guests who choose to stay overnight.

(The international congress will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, on August 13-19, 1995.)
by Bjorn Granstrom
It is our pleasure to invite you to the XIIIth International Congress of Phonetic Sciences, ICPhS 95. It will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, August 13-19, 1995.
The congress is a joint venture of our two departments, but with organisational and scientific support from the entire Swedish phonetics community.
As usual, the congress will invite contributions from all aspects of the phonetic sciences in the broadest sense.
With four years between congresses in this series, we look forward to intense discussion and exchange of new results in phonetics. We believe that Stockholm, in August 1995, will be a good setting for this.
The weather in Stockholm in August is often very comfortable, with long daylight and daily high temperatures around 20 C.
The Stockholm Water Festival will most likely take place immediately preceding ICPhS 95.
We are also pleased to report that the recent economic changes have made prices of accommodation and food in Sweden very reasonable for most visitors.
Our two departments, the Swedish phonetics community and the Congrex congress bureau will do our best to make your stay both enjoyable and scientifically rewarding.
Welcome to Stockholm in 1995!
Bjorn Granstrom President Speech Communication and Music Acoustics KTH Olle Engstrand Secretary General Linguistics Stockholm University
The congress will take place on the campus of Stockholm University, conveniently located near an underground station, a few stops from the city centre.
The format of the congress will follow the pattern of earlier ICPhS meetings with a mixed format of plenary and semi-plenary lectures, topical workshops and symposia, poster sessions and parallel oral sessions.
We invite participants to suggest topics for such events (see reply slip).
A reception at the Stockholm City Hall and a congress banquet will be included in the programme.
Wednesday, August 16, will be a free day, with the possibility of visiting the many attractions of Stockholm and its vicinity.
Post-congress tours will be offered through the congress bureau, Congrex. Exhibitions
Technical exhibitions and book exhibitions will be arranged as part of the congress Publication
The proceedings will be available at the time of the congress. Accommodation
A wide range of accommodation alternatives will be offered, from first class hotels to on-campus student accommodation and youth hostels. Language

We are proud to announce that Bryn Mawr Medieval Review, a sister publication of Bryn Mawr Classical Review (BMCR), is now ready to receive subscription requests. Instructions below.
BMMR will publish timely reviews of current work in all areas of medieval studies, a field it will interpret as broadly as possible (chronologically, geographically, culturally, etc.).
We are eager to develop a large and diverse stable of reviewers and to offer broad coverage of interesting current work from all over the world.
To that end, we will be assisted by a distinguished editorial advisory board, who will themselves review for us and help us find additional reviewers; but expressions of interest from potential reviewers and of course from authors and publishers wishing to submit review copies will be welcomed by any of the editors listed above.
There will be no paper BMMR. Reviews will ship serially as they are ready. Once a month, a "masthead" file will remind readers of the makeup of the editorial staff and contain concise instructions for subscribing, unsubscribing, back issues, and the like. (Back issues will be available by ftp and gopher [with WAIS indexing to facilitate searching] through the University of Virginia's library e-text service, as is already the case for BMCR.)
There will also be a "Books Received" file shipped monthly, with notes by books still unplaced for review--to encourage qualified readers to volunteer.
"Classical" and "Medieval" are not exclusive categories, and so some reviews in appropriate topics will be shipped to both BMCR and BMMR. To subscribe to both without duplication, readers will wish to enroll in the separate listserv for BMR-L (Bryn Mawr Reviews).
The model used by BMCR and BMMR may well soon be extended further to other fields, and there will always be a BMR listing to allow subscription to all the sister publications at once, as well as individual subscriptions by sub-field. There will also be opportunity for author's replies, discussion of earlier reviews, and well-conceived columns of opinion on the current medieval scholarly scene.
At the editors' discretion, other informational material (e.g., conference announcements) may also be included. We are happy to report that the following scholars have joined our ranks at the outset, to advise and guide us.
Patrick Geary, late of U. of Florida, now of UCLA (History) Stephen Jaeger, U. of Washington (Germanics) Herbert Kessler, Johns Hopkins (Art History) Seth Lerer, Stanford (English) Keven Kiernan, U. of Kentucky (English) Alistair Minnis, York University (Medieval Studies) Stephen G. Nichols, Johns Hopkins (French) Michael Solomon, Emory (Spanish) Robert Stacey, U. of Washington (History)
We expect that others will join our board shortly.
To Subscribe to BMMR Alone:
Send an e-mail message to listserv@cc.brynmawr.edu with nothing on the subject line and the single message line:
Subscribe BMMR-L Your Name
To Subscribe to BMMR and BMCR (new subscribers):
Send an e-mail message to listserv@cc.brynmawr.edu with nothing on the subject line and the single message line:

(It's designed for those involved in the development of electronic text centers.)
by Annelies Hoogcarspel
At the first Humanities Computing Summer Seminar, organized by the Center for Electronic Texts in the Humanities in August 1992, the librarian participants suggested that there be some way for participants and other librarians actively developing electronic text centers to come together and share their experiences so that all could benefit and expand their expertise.
As a result of this suggestion, the ALA/ACRL Discussion Group on Electronic Text Centers was established in January 1993, with Marianne Gaunt (Associate University Librarian at Rutgers University) as its Chair.
At the first meeting of this group, in June 1993 in New Orleans, a suggestion was made and accepted to take this further and set up an electronic discussion list for electronic text centers.
This list has now been established. Its name is ETEXTCTR (Discussion Group on Electronic Text Centers), and will be administered from the listserv at Rutgers University, at the addresses:
listserv@rutvm1.bitnet listserv@rutvm1.rutgers.edu
It is a moderated list, meant to cover broad issues: budgets, acquisitions, cataloging, public services, management, training and staff development, etc. but to be focused initially on full-text files that are primarily monographic in nature rather than e-journals or numeric data files.
If you would like to join in with this discussion, or would like to learn from the discussion among others, please subscribe to this list by sending a message to:
listserv@rutvm1.bitnet listserv@rutvm1.rutgers.edu
Leave the subject line blank, and send as the body of the message the following line:
subscribe etextctr firstname lastname
where "firstname" is your first name and "lastname" is your last name.
The minutes of the first meeting of the ALA/ACRL Discussion Group on Electronic Text Centers will be posted to this list shortly.
You may respond to these minutes through the list, or post questions, comments or ideas on anything related to the development of electronic text centers. Send your postings to:
etextctr@rutvm1.bitnet etextctr@rutvm1.rutgers.edu
If you have any questions about this list, or problems with technicalities, please write to the moderator:
Annelies Hoogcarspel hoogcarspel@zodiac.bitnet hoogcarspel@zodiac.rutgers.edu Center for Electronic Texts in the Humanities 169 College Avenue New Brunswick, NJ 08903 phone: (908) 932-1384 fax: (908) 932-1386
The tenth Computers And Writing Conference will be held at the University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, May 20-23, 1994, with the theme "The Global Web of Writing Technologies."
This conference serves a growing and diverse community of writing teachers, students, and scholars who are interested in the convergence of computer technology and writing education.
The program for this year's conference will emphasize the role of the wide-area academic networks in writing education.
The conference organizers have asked for submissions on such topics as the following:
The latest reports from teachers and students--K-12 through college level--who are exploring the possibilities of networked classrooms
Possibilities for using computers to forge better connections between K-12 and college educators
Hypertext theory, its classroom applications and cultural implications
Hypermedia applications and their impact on how we view "text," "rhetoric," and "writing"
Computers and networks in writing across the curriculum programs
Hypertext and network collaboration and new shapes in creative writing
For more information on the conference, please communicate with:

The Executive Councils of the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) and the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (ALLC), meeting with representatives of UCSB during ACH/ALLC '93 at Georgetown University, gave initial approval to the University of California at Santa Barbara as the site for the 1995 joint annual conference of the two organizations. It has been tentatively scheduled for July 11-15, 1995.

Dramatic changes are underway in the electronic communications infrastructure worldwide. Academics are beginning to take advantage of the new opportunities.
H-Net is an initiative of the History department at the University of Illinois, Chicago, to assist historians to go on-line, using their personal computers and the Internet and Bitnet electronic communications networks.
H-Net is sponsoring a series of electronic discussion groups or "lists."
Subscribers automatically receive messages in their computer mailboxes. These messages can be saved, discarded, copied, printed out, or relayed to someone else.
The lists are like newsletters that are published daily, and which carry announcements from the editor, and letters and mini-essays from the subscribers.
Currently our largest list is HOLOCAUS with 290 subscribers in 15 countries; they receive an average of 5 messages a day.
Membership is open to any historian or graduate student, and is free. Each list is moderated by a historian and has a board of editors.
The moderators control the flow of messages and reject those unsuitable for a scholarly discussion group.
The primary purpose of each list is to enable historians to easily communicate current research and teaching interests; to discuss new approaches, methods and tools of analysis; to share information on access to library catalogs and other electronic databases; and to test new ideas and share comments on current historiography.
Each list is especially interested in methods of teaching history to graduate and undergraduate students in diverse settings.
The lists feature dialogues in the discipline. They publish syllabi, course outlines, class handouts, bibliographies, listings of new sources, guides to online library catalogs and archives, and reports on new software, datasets and CD- ROMS.
Subscribers write in with questions, comments, and reports, and sometimes with mini-essays of a page or two.
Most of the lists have no chronological or geographical limits.
The H-Net lists currently in operation are:
H-Urban, Urban history
H-Rural, Rural and agricultural history
H-Women, Women's history
H-Diplo, Diplomatic history, foreign affairs, international relations
HOLOCAUS, Holocaust studies; anti-semitism; related themes of modern history
H-South, US South
H-CivWar, US Civil War
H-LatAm, Latin American History
H-Law, Legal and Constitutional history
H-Ethnic, American ethnic & immigration history
H-AmStdy, American Studies
H-Ideas, Intellectual history
IEAHC-Net, American colonial history; sponsored by
Institute of Early American History & Culture at Williamsburg
Other lists are being discussed; to volunteer as editor or member of an editorial board, please send a note to:
H-Net@uicvm.bitnet
Each list will publish (at no cost) announcements of jobs, fellowships, conferences, conventions, new books, new journals, new e-lists, and the like. To post an announcement to all the H-Net lists, send an e-mail copy to:
H-Net@uicvm.bitnet or H-Net@uicvm.uic.edu
or by CompuServe to:
>internet:h-net@uicvm.uic.edu
or send a fax copy to (312) 996-6377, care of H-Net.
Each list will publish book reviews. To volunteer as a reviewer send a note to the editor at @uicvm, for example:
H-Urban@uicvm or H-LatAm@uicvm
To submit books for review, or for other paper correspondence, write to:
H-Net room 723 SEO Dept of History m/c 198 851 S Morgan St. Chicago IL 60607-7049 Phone: 312 / 996-3141 Fax: 312 / 996-6377
H-Net will be offering one-day training workshops at history conventions and at history departments across the country. It has been endorsed by the American Historical Association, the Organization of American Historians and the Southern Historical Association, and has received funding from the American Council of Learned Societies. H-Net is directed by Richard Jensen, professor of history at UIC, who can be reached at:
u08946@uicvm .bitnet Phone: 615 / 552-9923
Anyone can join any of the h-lists by sending the message:
sub xxxxx John Jones
to either of the following addresses:
listserv@uicvm.bitnet or listserv@uicvm.uic.edu
where xxxxx = h-urban, h-women, HOLOCAUS, h-rural, h-law, h- latam, h-civwar h-south, h-ethnic, or h-diplo. These 10 are all operating. The first three have been going strong for several months, the others are very new.
Sometime in next week or so we will add H-AmStdy, with H- Ideas (or "H-Durkheim") to follow. This fall, a colonial list will be ready. Announcements and general questions go to:
h-net@uicvm Richard Jensen for H-net u08946@uicvm.bitnet

Submissions of material of interest to computing humanists are welcome, and should be sent to the editor by electronic mail, using markup for any characters which can't be transmitted.
The electronic version of the _ACH Newsletter_ is prepared from the files used to produce the paper edition. A few formatting changes have been made to adapt the text to electronic transmission but the content of the two versions is identical. A complete table of contents has been included for the convenience of e-mail readers. This page was last modified on
