               ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS
			                     29th Annual Meeting
			                       17-21 June 1991
	         University of California, Berkeley, California, USA

The program for the Annual Meeting itself, which will take place on
19-21 June, features papers on all aspects of computational linguistics. 
Two invited lectures will be given during the meeting: "Linguistic
Problems and Extra-Linguistic Problems in Machine Translation" by
Jun-ichi Tsujii, UMIST; and "Word Meaning: Starting where the MRDs Stop"
by Charles Fillmore, University of California, Berkeley and Sue Atkins,
Oxford University Press. In addition, there are a special set of Student
Sessions featuring papers that describe `work in progress' so that
students can receive feedback from other members of the computational
linguistics community.

The Annual Meeting is preceded on 18 June by a set of tutorials:

 - "Natural Language Generation" by Kathleen McCoy and Johanna Moore;

 - "Intonation in Spoken Language Systems" by Julia Hirschberg;

 - "Computational Linguistics Methodologies for Humanities Computing"
    by Nancy M. Ide;

 - "Machine Translation: An In-Depth Tutorial" by Jaime Carbonell and
    Yorick Wilks.

There are also three preconference workshops:

(1) "Lexical Semantics and Knowledge Representation" (17 June),
    sponsored by the ACL Special Interest Group on the Lexicon (SIGLEX).
