                  2nd Call for Papers: NEW DEADLINES
 
          First QUANTITATIVE LINGUISTICS CONFERENCE (QUALICO)
                       September 23 - 27, 1991
                    University of Trier, Germany

                          organized by the
        GLDV - Gesellschaft fuer Linguistische Datenverarbeitung
               (German Society for Linguistic Computing)
             and the Editors of "Quantitative Linguistics"

                            supported by
                         The City of Trier,
                      The University of Trier,
                 and the following organisations:
   ACH, AILA, ALLC, DGfS, DGSF, ESSCS, GAL, GI, GLDV, GMD, GTW, ISCO.

OBJECTIVES
QUALICO is being held for the first time as an International  Conference
to demonstrate the state of the art in  Quantitative  Linguistics.  This
domain of language study and research is gaining  considerable  interest
due  to  recent  advances  in  linguistic  modelling,  particularly   in
computational  linguistics,  cognitive  science,  and  developments   in
mathematics like  non-linear  systems  theory.  Progress  in  hard-  and
software technology together with ease of access to data  and  numerical
processing has provided new means of empirical data acquisition and  the
application of mathematical models of adequate  complexity.  The  German
Society for  Linguistic  Computation  (Gesellschaft  fuer  Linguistische
Datenverarbeitung - GLDV) and the editors of 'Quantitative  Linguistics'
have taken the initiative in preparing this conference to take place  at
the University of Trier, in Trier (Germany), September 23rd -27th, 1991.

In view of the stimulating new developments in Europe and  the  academic
world, the organizers' aim is to encourage and promote  mutual  exchange
of ideas in this field of interest which has been limited in  the  past.
Challanging  advances  in   interdisciplinary   quantitative   analyses,
numerical  modelling  and  experimental   simulations   from   different
linguistic  domains  will  be  reported  on  by  the  following  keynote
speakers: Gabriel Altmann (Bochum, Germany), Michail V. Arapov  (Moskau,
USSR) (pending acceptance), Hans Goebl (Salzburg, Austria),  Mildred  L.
G. Shaw (Calgary, Canada), John S. Nicolis (Patras, Greece), Kenneth  W.
Church (Marina del Rey, USA).

CALL FOR PAPERS
The International Program Committee invites communications (long papers:
20 minutes plus 10; short papers:  15  minutes  plus  5;  demonstrations

NEW DEADLINES:
Authors are asked to submit extended  abstracts  (1500 words;  4 copies)
of their papers in one of the conference's working  languages  (English,
German) not later than February 28, 1991 to:

QUALICO - The Program Committee
University of Trier
P.O.Box 3825
D-5500 TRIER
Germany

UUCP:    qualico@utrurt.uucp.de
or:      ..!unido!utrurt!qualico

Notice of acceptance will be given by June 30, 1991; and  full  versions
of invited and accepted papers (camera-ready) are due  by  September 27,
1991, i.e. during the conference, for which the collected  abstracts  of
accepted  papers   will   be   available   for   the   attendants.   The
QUALICO-Proceedings will be produced immediately  after  the  conference
and shall be published before the end of the year. This  '2nd  Call  for
Papers' is distributed world-wide in order to reach  researchers  active
in universities and industry.

SOCIAL PROGRAMME
The oldest city in Germany, founded 16 b.C. by  the  Romans  as  Augusta
Treverorum in the Mosel valley is  situated  now  in  the  most  Western
region of Germany near both the French and Luxembourgian border. In  the
center of Europe this ancient city will host the participants of QUALICO
at  the  University  of  Trier,  surrounded  by  the  vineyards  of  the
Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wine district at vintage beginning. The  excursion  day
scheduled  midway  through  the  conference  (September 25,  1991)  will
provide an opportunity to visit points of  historical  interest  in  the
city and its vicinity during a boat-trip on the Mosel river.
