From: Don Walker <WALKER@SRI-AI.ARPA> ****************** PLEASE POST, CIRCULATE, AND REDISTRIBUTE ***************** COLING84, TENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS COLING84 is scheduled for 2-6 July 1984 at Stanford University, Stanford, California. It will also constitute the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, which will host the conference. Information about the conference, registration, travel, and accommodations, and about the six summer school courses that will be held during the preceding week (25-29 June) has just been made available in the form of The COLING Courier. For a copy, contact Don Walker, COLING84, SRI International, Menlo Park, California, 94025, USA [phone: (415)859-3071; arpanet: walker@sri-ai; telex [650] 334486].

The summer school, which will be held 25-29 June, consists of week-long tutorials on six subjects that are central to computational linguistics but on which instruction is still not routinely available: LISP AS LANGUAGE--Brian Smith, Xerox and Stanford; PROLOG FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE ANALYSIS--Fernando Pereira, SRI International; PARSER CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES--Henry Thompson, Edinburgh; SITUATION SEMANTICS--David Israel, BBN, & John Perry, Stanford; MACHINE TRANSLATION--Brian Harris, Ottawa, & Alan Melby, Brigham Young; SOUND STRUCTURE OF LANGUAGE--Mark Liberman, Bell Labs. Enrollments are limited to 30 in each tutorial, so register early. A remarkably rich set of computational facilities will be available at Coling84 for demonstrating programs and systems.
