FIFTH MEETING ON THE MATHEMATICS OF LANGUAGE (MOL5)
                    Call for Papers

Sponsored by the Association for the Mathematics of Language (a special
interest group of the Association for Computational Linguistics)

DATES: 25-27 August 1997

LOCATION:  Schloss Dagstuhl, Saarbruecken, Germany

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: January 31,1997

SUBMISSION ADDRESS:  djohns@watson.ibm.com

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:  Submissions are invited from all areas of
study that deal with the mathematical properties of natural language.
These areas include, but are not limited to, mathematical models of
syntax, semantics and phonology; computational complexity of
linguistic frameworks/theories and models of natural language
processing; mathematical theories of language learning; parsing theory;
and quantitative models of language.

If the co-chairs feel the area of a submitted paper cannot be adequately
reviewed by the program committee, an attempt will be made to get
outside reviews.

SUBMISSION FORMATS: All contributions to MOL5 are to be made
electronically as either an unformatted (plain text) ASCII file or
LaTex file.  Authors are responsible for their submissions printing
without special actions by the program committee. Submissions should
consist of an abstract of original, previously unpublished
work. Abstract length should be no more than five (5) pages.

PROCEEDINGS: No unrefereed proceedings are planned. It is anticipated
that selected papers will be published after peer review as a special
issue or collection.
