    TOPICS OF INTEREST: Papers are invited on substantial, original, and unpublished research on all aspects of Quantitative Linguistics, including, but not limited to, the following.

    1) Observations and descriptions of all aspects of language and text phenomena, including the areas of psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, linguistic typology, stylistics, etc. as far as they use quantitative mathematical methods (probability theory, stochastic processes, differential and difference equations, fuzzy logics and set theory, function theory etc.), on all levels of linguistic analysis.

    2) Applications of methods, models, or findings from quantitative linguistics to problems of natural language processing, machine translation, language teaching, documentation and information retrieval - especially in the form of automated systems of different kinds (automated systems for scientific research, expert systems, electronic dictionaries, parsing systems, controlled large text corpora etc.).

    3) Methodological problems of linguistic measurement, model construction, sampling and test theory.

    4) Epistemological issues such as explanation of language and text phenomena, contributions to theory construction, systems theory, philosophy of science.

    REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMISSION: Papers should be either topical papers (maximum six pages in final format) or project notes with demonstration (maximum four pages), preferably in English. Both should describe original work.The project note should specify the computer platform that will be used. They should emphasize completed work rather than intended work, and they should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. A paper accepted for presentation at the QUALICO-94 Conference cannot be presented at another conference.

    FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION: Authors should submit four copies of preliminary versions of their papers with the page limits above, on A4 paper with the title, author(s), addresses (including e-mail if possible), affiliation across the page top, a short (five line) summary, the words: topical paper or project note, and a specification of the topic area. As well, authors are strongly urged to email the title page information by the deadline date. Send the papers and emails to the chairman of the program committee.
