The meeting will take place in the IPO-building at the site of  
Eindhoven University of Technology.

The topic of his talk will be announced later.

Researchers are invited to present papers on all aspects of
computational linguistics (morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics,
computational lexicography, formal languages, grammar formalisms,
knowledge representation, corpus-oriented methods, etc.).

A volume with proceedings of the Sixth CLIN meeting (held 1 December
1995 in Antwerp) should be available at this year's meeting. It is our
intention that a volume of the proceedings of CLIN 1996 will be
produced before CLIN 1997. Papers for these proceedings will have to be
written in English; they will be reviewed by a programme committee to be 
appointed in due time.
