The 26th Penn Linguistics Colloquium:
Call for Papers


The 26th annual Penn Linguistics Colloquium is scheduled for Friday through Sunday, March 1 through March 3, 2002 17 Logan Hall at the University of Pennsylvania campus in Philadelphia.

Invited speaker: Ivan A. Sag, Stanford University.
The title of the talk is Constraints on Core Clauses, and the abstract can be viewed here.

Papers on any topic in linguistics and associated fields are welcome. Speakers will have twenty minutes for their presentations and five minutes for discussion and questions.

This year's Colloquium will feature a special session on "Advances in computational methods: Innovations in theory and analysis". We are soliciting papers describing computional methodologies in furtherance of more general linguistic understanding. This includes, but is not limited to, papers on formal language theory and computational models of natural data. We are interested in papers from across the spectrum of theoretical and applied linguistics and related fields.

Prospective speakers may submit their abstracts by filling out the online form at http://wave.ldc.upenn.edu/plc26/index.php4 . The form accepts papers in the DOC, RTF, HTML, PS, DVI, PDF, and TXT formats. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee correct font outputs for RTF or DOC.
Abstracts should be no longer than 2 pages in 12-point font with 1-inch margins. Please do not include your name or affiliation on the abstracts themselves. Abstracts should reach us no later than Sunday, January 13, 2002.
Notification of acceptance/rejection should be expected by February 1, 2002.

Conference proceedings will be published as a volume of the Penn Working Papers in Linguistics. Selected participants will be expected to provide camera-ready copies of their papers after the Colloquium.
