                 ACM SIGART SPECIAL SECTION
         ON MACHINE TRANSLATION AND RELATED TOPICS

     A special section on MT and related work is planned for
an early 1985 issue of the SIGART Newsletter.

     The purpose of the section is:

     1.  To update the knowledge of the new paradigms in  MT
         in the AI community

     2.  To help MT workers to learn about  developments  in
         AI that can be useful for them in their projects

     3.  To  provide   the   MT   community   with   updated
         information  about  current,  recent and nascent MT
         projects

     4.  To  help  identify  major  topics,   results   and,
         especially, directions for future research.

Contributions are solicited from MT workers, as well as  all
workers   in  AI,  theoretical,  computational  and  applied
linguistics and other related fields  who  feel  that  their
work  has  a bearing on MT (machine-aided human translation;
automatic dictionary  management;   parsing  and  generating
natural  language;  knowledge representation for specialized
domains;  discourse analysis;  sublanguages  and  subworlds,
etc., etc.)

     A detailed questionnaire to help  you  in  preparing  a
response is available from the guest editor,
