Please pardon the shotgun cross-post, but this seems to be information
of interest to us all. (Picked up on MICROFORMS, which is a list I've
been hosting):

>Saturday 6/27/98 9am - 11am S. American A, Capital Hilton
>On the agenda:
>1.) Austin McLean will discuss UMI's project of converting over
>22 million microfilm images from their Early English Books
>collections to digital format. This ought to be pretty
>interesting, as it will cover the entire
>process, from selection to production to product.

Description
Anaphora and problems of reference resolution have received a great deal of attention from workers in linguistics, computational linguistics, artificial intelligence and information retrieval for a number of decades. Such problems have proved a major challenge for all of these fields, and a great many differing theories and solutions have been proposed and implemented with varying degrees of success. This colloquium aims to fill a need for researchers in this field to meet. Our hope is that this meeting will allow all of the different strands of work to be identified, with a view to producing an up-to-date review of the field.
To this end, a coloquium will take place from the 1st to the 4th of August, 1998 at Lancaster University, UK, organized jointly by the Department of Linguistics, Lancaster University and the Institute for English Studies, Lodz University, Poland. This colloquium is a follow up to the highly succesful DAARC colloquium held at Lancaster in 1996. Our aim this time is specifically geared towards encouraging a cross-fertilization of ideas between theoretical linguistics, corpus linguistics and computational linguistics.

MLA has approved a special session for San Francisco on "Orpheus His Journey to Hell." The focus of all three papers will be attribution of this poem to "R.B." Is it Richard Barnfield or not?
James Ellis will put the poem in context with the Inns of Court. Kenneth Borris will contrast the poem to poems by Ovid, Lydgate, and Poliziano. Wesley Folkerth will present the results of his stylometric analysis of the poem. Raymond Frontain will serve as responder to the papers.
Did Barnfield write the poem? Come to San Francisco and find out!
