Call for papers for the next conference on
                     (PREFERABLY) NON-LEXICAL SEMANTICS

The conference will be hosted by the University of Paris 7 (France), and
will take place from May 25 to 27, 2000.

There will be three one-hour talks by invited speakers, and the rest of the
talks will consist papers selected by the program committee.  Submissions
of abstracts (in English or in French) for 30-minute contributed talks
(with 10 additional minutes for discussion) on any topic in the semantic
analysis of natural languages, with a strong preference for non-lexical
semantics, are welcome.
Authors should submit 5 copies of (so called "anonymous") abstracts, no
more than two pages (but not significantly less than 2 pages) long. Data
allowing us to identify and contact the author (or authors) should be given
separately. Authors of accepted papers agree to submit a written version
for publication. This does not mean, however, that their papers will
automatically be published.

E-mail submissions will be accepted (but only if in LaTex, Word or PS). In
this case authors shoud send a title page with author's name, etc. in
addition to the anonymous two page abstract.

Abstract deadline: March 13, 2000.
