         ASSOCIATION FOR LITERARY AND LINGUISTIC COMPUTING
 
          1993 JOINT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE  ACH-ALLC93
 
                          JUNE 16-19, 1993
               GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON, D.C.
 
 
                          CALL FOR PAPERS
 
This conference -- the major forum for literary, linguistic and
humanities computing-- will highlight the development of new
computing methodologies for research and teaching in the
humanities, the development of significant new networked-based and
computer-based resources for humanities research, and the
application and evaluation of computing techniques in humanities
subjects.
 
 
TOPICS: We welcome submissions on topics such as 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.
 
In addition, ACH and ALLC extend a special invitation to members of
the library community engaged in creating and cataloguing network-
based resources in the humanities, developing and integrating
databases of texts and images of works central to the humanities,
and refining retrieval techniques for humanities databases.
 
The deadline for submissions is 1 NOVEMBER 1992.
 
 
REQUIREMENTS: Proposals should describe substantial and original
work. Those that 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 that 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 sources.
 
 
INDIVIDUAL PAPERS: Abstracts of 1500-2000 words should be submitted
for presentations of thirty minutes including questions.
 
 
SESSIONS: Proposals for sessions (90 minutes) are also invited.
These should take the form of either:
 
(a) Three papers. The session organizer should submit a 500-word
statement describing the session topic, include abstracts of
1000-1500 words for each paper, and indicate that each author is
willing to participate in the session; or
 
(b) A panel of up to 6 speakers. The panel organizer should submit
an abstract of 1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will
be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that
each speaker is willing to participate in the session.
 
 
FORMAT OF SUBMISSIONS
 
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.
 
All submissions should begin with the following information:
 
TITLE: title of paper
AUTHOR(S): names of authors
AFFILIATION: of author(s)
CONTACT ADDRESS: full postal address
E-MAIL: electronic mail address of main author (for contact),
     followed by other authors (if any)
FAX NUMBER: of main author
PHONE NUMBER: of main author
 
(1) Electronic submissions
 
These should be plain ASCII text files, not files formatted by a
wordprocessor, and should not contain TAB characters or soft
hyphens. Paragraphs should be separated by blank lines. Headings
and subheadings should be on separate lines and be numbered. Notes,
if needed at all, should take the form of endnotes rather than
footnotes. References, up to six, should be given at the end.
Choose a simple markup scheme for accents and other characters that
cannot be transmitted by electronic mail, and include an
explanation of the markup scheme after the title information and
before the start of the text.
 
Electronic submissions should be sent to
Neuman@GUVAX.Georgetown.edu
with the subject line "<Author's surname> Submission for ACH-ALLC93".
 
 
(2) Paper submissions
 
Submissions should be typed or printed on one side of the paper
only, with ample margins. Six copies should be sent to
 
ACH-ALLC93 (Paper submission)
