The biennial MOL meetings are a workshop-style forum for presenting work relating to mathematical linguistics. SUBMISSIONS 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 phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics; mathematical properties of linguistic frameworks/theories and models of natural language processing and generation; mathematical models of language acquisition and change; parsing theory; and statistical and quantitative models of language. Submissions should give enough motivation to attract the interest of the audience and enough details to attract people who follow the area of the paper. SUBMISSION FORMAT Submissions should be no longer than 5000 words in length (about 10 pages, 11pt, excluding references). Papers must include an abstract (200 words. max). All contributions to MOL6 are to be made electronically as an uncompressed mime-encoded postscript attachment. Please send your submission to mol-submit@cis.upenn.edu. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for submissions: February 22, 1999 (Extended) Notification of acceptance: April 15, 1999 Deadline for final drafts: June 1, 1999 Meeting dates: July 23-25, 1999 MOL PROGRAM COMMITTEE Tilman Becker (DFKI) Patrick Blackburn (University of Saarland) Christophe Fouquere (Paris 13) David Johnson (IBM Yorktown Heights) Mark Johnson (Brown University) Aravind Joshi, Co-Chair (UPENN) Andras Kornai (BBN) Uli Krieger (DFKI) Natasha Kurtonina (Utrecht/UPENN) Alain Lecomte (Grenoble U.)
