           ASSOCIATION FOR LITERARY AND LINGUISTIC COMPUTING
             ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTERS AND THE HUMANITIES

                   1992 JOINT CONFERENCE  ALLC-ACH92

                           5-9 April 1992
                    Christ Church, Oxford, England

                          CALL FOR PAPERS

This conference is the major annual forum for literary,  linguistic  and
humanities computing. Its focus is on the development of  new  computing
methodologies for research  and  teaching  in  the  humanities,  on  the
development of  significant  new  materials  and  tools  for  humanities
research, and on the application and evaluation of computing  techniques
in humanities subjects.

TOPICS: Submissions are invited on all areas of literary, linguistic and
humanities computing, including, but  not  limited  to:  text  encoding;
hypertext; text corpora; computational lexicography; statistical models;
syntactic, semantic and other forms  of  text  analysis;  also  computer
applications  in  history,  philosophy,  music  and   other   humanities
disciplines.

   The deadline for submissions is 1 OCTOBER 1991.

Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged.  Please  pay  particular
attention to the format given below. Submissions which do not conform to
this format will be returned to the authors for reformatting, or may not
be considered if they arrive very close to the deadline.

REQUIREMENTS: Proposals should describe substantial and  original  work.
Those  which  concentrate  on   the   development   of   new   computing
methodologies should make clear how the  methodologies  are  applied  to
research and/or teaching in the  humanities,  and  should  include  some
critical assessment of the application of  those  methodologies  in  the
humanities. Those which concentrate on a particular application  in  the
humanities (e.g. a  study  of  the  style  of  an  author)  should  cite
traditional as well as computer-based  approaches  to  the  problem  and
should include some critical assessment of the  computing  methodologies
used.  All  proposals  should  include  conclusions  and  references  to
important previous related work.

INDIVIDUAL PAPERS: Abstracts for individual papers should  be  1500-2000
words in length.  Thirty  minutes  will  normally  be  allowed  for  the
presentation of each paper including questions.

SESSIONS: Proposals for sessions (90 minutes) are  also  invited.  These
should take the form of either:

(a) Three papers. The proposer of the session should submit a  statement
    of approximately 500 words describing  the  topic  of  the  session.
    Abstracts of 1000-1500 words should be submitted  for  each  of  the
    papers, together with an indication that the author of each paper is
    willing to participate in the session.
or
(b) A panel of up to 6 speakers. The proposer of the panel should submit
    an abstract of 1500 words describing the topic of the panel and  how
    it will be organized, together with the names of all  the  speakers,
    and  an  indication  that  each  of  the  speakers  is  willing   to
    participate in the session.
