One hopes that work of significance in NLP will occur in 1988 and 1989.

The title is unfortunate, but let me add that future editions may be produced depending on how well this one does. (The authors and I would like to see more editions, but the publisher and distributors need to see these move.) The online bibliography, accessible by EMail, will be updated (although the current one is still the one that is in the book). The original plan was to produce these annually and more cheaply than we have managed. The reason that this appears in a series called "lecture notes" is historical and too dull to go into. It was originally intended as a tech report, I believe. Anyway, I will pass your note on to the authors. And maybe future editions will bear a more accurate title. -- Jeff Goldberg Internet: goldberg@russell.stanford.edu

Oh, I dunno. Anybody who seriously consults a bibliography is going to check its date along with other technical information (such as its publisher and editor) to see how reliable and comprehensive it is. Besides, we all know that "the 1980's" are over: the decade ended one Monday last October, with the stock market crash. We are now living in the 1990's. (Exercise: give the dates on which the following decades began. The 1940's: 7 December 1941 (in the US) 3 September 1939 (elsewhere) The 1950's: The 1960's: 22 November 1963 The 1970's: The 1980's: )
