Yorick Wilks, Computer Science, New Nexico State University (U.S.A.) Assistant Editors: Itiel Dror, Edson Francozo, Amir Horowitz Publisher: John Benjamins, B.V. (Amsterdam) Purpose and Scope: A new journal, especially an interdisciplinary one, helps to shape a new research niche, carved out by a critical mass of work already in the making, but which has not so far found an adequate vehicle of diffusion and crystallization. The niche PRAGMATICS AND COGNITION has identified, and purports to develop, lies at the intersection between two rapidly expanding areas of research: pragmatics and cognitive science. Each of these disciplines is concerned with one of the two most important kinds of (human) activity -- the use of symbols and the performance of mental operations. Though the interdependence between these activities has been often asserted and discussed, it has not so far received the kind of systematic attention and specific research it well deserves. Pragmatics has been mostly concerned with accounting for the communicative use of language and other semiotic systems, taking for granted (or simply ignoring) its mental underpinnings. Cognitive Science has been mainly concerned either with the grand issue of mental architecture or with detailed analyses of certain mental processes, without focusing on their pragmatic aspects. But researchers in both areas have again and again stumbled against the need for interrelating systematically semiotic and mental activity, and they have quite often developed fruitful ideas on how to go about doing it. It is this body of research and ideas that PRAGMATICS AND COGNITION seeks to foster, by creating a dedicated space for its critical discussion and development. PRAGMATICS AND COGNITION is interested in the interrelations between the use of any semiotic system by any being and that being's `inner life'. Its scope covers a wide variety of semiotic systems (natural languages, computer languages, writing, gesture, facial expression, etc.), as used by humans, animals and machines, in connection with a broad range of `mental' activities (pattern recognition, problem solving, sensation, emotion, fantasy, interpretation of experience, hallucination, dreaming, understanding, humor, creativity, mental modeling, conceptualization, aesthetic pleasure, etc.). The journal seeks to explore relations of all sorts between the former and the latter: logical and causal dependence; conditions of acquisition, development or loss; modeling, simulation and formalization; shared or separate biological and neurological basis; social etc. It goes without saying that, given its scope, PRAGMATICS AND COGNITION must be an interdisciplinary journal. Among the disciplines whose separate paths it seeks to bring together, Philosophy, Psychology, Linguistics, Semiotics, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence, Ethology, and Cognitive Anthropology. But this is not, of course, an exhaustive list. Contributions steming from any discipline, relevant to the Technical information: Initially the journal will be published twice a year (in May and November). Each volume will contain approximately 400 pages. The first issue is scheduled for May 1992. Authors should send 4 copies of manuscripts, in English, to the Editor. Only original manuscripts, not yet published elsewhere nor under consideration for publication elsewhere will be considered. Final versions of the manuscript should be supplied in both hard copy and disc, preferably on WordPerfect format, IBM compatible. Use of other wordprocessors requires previous consent by the editor. Manuscripts should conform to the journal's specifications, which can be obtained upon request. They should contain a 400 word abstract. Name, address, institutional affiliation of the author(s), and e-mail address should be written in a separate title page. All manuscripts will be refereed.

University of Cambridge Department of Linguistics / Computer Laboratory Experimental Psycholinguist / Computational Linguist Applications are invited for two Research Assistant positions on a Joint Research Council Cognitive Science / HCI Initiative project to be housed in the Department of Linguistics and directed by Dr. P. Warren and Dr. F.J. Nolan of that department and Dr. E.J. Briscoe of the Computer Laboratory. The project, entitled "Post-lexical and Prosodic Phonological Processing", will commence on 1st October 1991 and has a duration of 3 years. The proposed research will investigate the regularity of post- lexical phonological processes and their function in human speech comprehension, integrating work on 1) the phonetic realisation of such processes in fluent speech, 2) the recognition and representation of information associated with these processes and 3) its integration with syntactic and interpretative aspects of comprehension. The aim is, firstly, to understand which phonetic phenomena are recognised during phonological processing and how the information extracted is represented and integrated with other aspects of processing, and secondly, to develop a computational model of such processing, testing it using experimental phonetic and psycholinguistic techniques. Applicants should be computer literate and have research experience in one or more of the following areas: experimental phonetics, experimental psycholinguistics, computational linguistics. The appointment will be made on the Research Grade 1 scale (#11399 - #16755 depending on age and qualifications). Please send applications, including curriculum vitae and the names and addresses of three referees, to Dr Paul Warren, Department of Linguistics, Sidgwick Avenue, Cambridge CB3 9DA (tel. 0223 335004 / 335026) or via e-mail to pw25@uk.ac.cam.phx. Further details are available from the same address. Applications should be received by June 15th 1991. ------------------------------ To: nl-kr@cs.rpi.edu Subject: CILS Calendar X-Mailer: MH 6.6 #5[UCI] Date: Wed, 29 May 91 14:00:30 -0500 >From: colleen@tira.uchicago.edu _________________ T H E C I L S C A L E N D A R ________________ The Center for Information and Language Studies Joseph Regenstein Library, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637 Subscription requests to: cils@tira.uchicago.edu ____________________________________________________________________ Vol. 1, No. 28 May 29, 1991 ~*~ Upcoming events: 6/3 16:00 Wb 130 Workshop Pragmatics of Language 6/4 16:00 Wb 408 Workshop Language and Thought - ------------------------------ MONDAY, JUNE 3 4:00 p.m. Workshop Wb 130 The Pragmatics of Language James Shelley, "Austin on Saying "I Know'" Don Breen, "The Modal Indexicality of Proper and Common Nouns" Dept. of Philosophy, University of Chicago Copies of readings are available in the Departments of Philosophy (Cl 17) and Linguistics (Cl 304) and at the Center for Information and Language Studies.

July 1, 1991 -- July 4, 1991 PRELIMINARY PROGRAM Registration form at end Host Organization: Center for Machine Translation Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA Sponsored in part by the National Science Foundation, USA MONDAY, JULY 1 Executive Briefings Session 1 Introduction to MT: Issues and Survey 09:00 -- 10:30 John Hutchins, University of East Anglia, UK Harold Somers, UMIST, UK This session aims to give an overview, for the benefit of those new to the field, of the basic scientific issues in MT research and development, and to give a brief general survey of the history of MT from the 1940s to the present. The briefing will be in four parts:(1) Introduction and general history --- definition of some terms; historical overview of trends in research, development and commercial production. (2) Basic design issues --- `direct' versus `indirect' system design; separation of algorithms and linguistic data; modularity and stratification. (3) Practical aspects --- role of human user in MT systems: pre- and post-editing, interactive vs. non-interactive systems; use of `raw' output. (4) Linguistic aspects of MT - -- need to represent structural analysis or `meaning'? lexical and structural ambiguities in analysis; contrastive lexical and grammatical problems; stylistic considerations in the target language text. Session 2 How Your Organization Can Use MT 11:00 -- 12:30 Zenshiro Kawasaki, Hitachi, Ltd., Japan Joann Ryan, SYSTRAN, USA Successful use of machine translation depends on the successful integration of the machine translation system or service into the document production process of your organization and the achievement of the mix of human and machine translatin skills that best meets your organization's needs. Today a wider selection of MT options is available to both individual and corporate users, ranging from submitting your document on a disk to a service bureau that utilizes MT, to accessing an on-line machine translation service, to purchasing or leasing machine translation software to be run on your own computer. Choosing the right option depends on careful evaluation of a number of factors, including the type and volume of texts to be translated, type of hardware available, purpose of the translation, access to a suitable terminology source and, above all, the availability and degree of commitment of the personnel who will be directly involved in the translation process. This briefing will provide guidelines to help you to determine the areas where MT will be useful to your organization, to choose the most appropriate type of MT system or service, to design a cost-effective translation process for your organization, and to plan for the commitment of resources required for successful MT use. Session 3 Knowledge-Based MT 14:00 -- 15:30 Jaime Carbonell, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Sergei Nirenburg, Carnegie Mellon University, USA This briefing will describe an approach to machine translation research and development which relies on extracting and representing the meaning of the source language text as a prerequisite for successful translation. To achieve this goal, MT systems of this kind rely not only on information about grammar and the lexicon of the source and target languages but also on extensive collections of knowledge about the world and the field of translation (e.g., mechanical engineering or contract law). We will describe computational architectures for knowledge-based MT systems and discuss the requirements for their various knowledge bases. With respect to the processing algorithms, we will describe the processes of syntactic and semantic analysis as well as target text planning, lexical and syntactic selection and final realization. We will also discuss the environment for machine-aided knowledge-based translation systems. % end{footnotesize} end{quote} Session 4 MT: The Japanese Experience 16:00 -- 17:30 Makoto Nagao, Kyoto University, Japan This session will describe the MT state of the art in Japan. Practical machine translation systems have been more successfully deployed in Japan than anywhere else. Several Japanese-to-English and English-to-Japanese systems are available on workstations (some on portable WSs). Japanese researchers and developers know well that natural languages are so complicated that an elegant and simple theory in linguistics is not enough to conquer language complexity. They have pursued a good balance of basic linguistic theories and ad hoc treatment of the `dirty' parts of languages. They have also developed user-friendly interfaces for pre-editing and post-editing texts, which tasks are inevitable in the present-day systems. With these efforts, many system users have achieved a cost reduction of 30 % to 50 %, as well as a speed-up of translation. Vast resources, both financial and human, were invested in Japanese MT development; this cannot, of course, be recovered by sales of a few hundred or a thousand MT systems. However, top managers know very well that R &D will be the basis for natural language processing technology --- definitely a key technology in the next century. 19:00 MT Summit III --- Welcoming Reception and Registration TUESDAY, JULY 2 08:00 Registration and coffee 08:45 Opening address: J.G.
