First announcement of the workshop: LOCAL AND GLOBAL PHENOMENA IN DISCOURSE: THE `DANDELION' APPROACH ---------------------------------------- 15th-16th December 1995 IPSI - Integrated Publication and Information Systems Institute GMD - German National Research Center for Information Technology Dolivostr. 15, DARMSTADT, GERMANY --------------------------------------- The ESPRIT Basic Research Action DANDELION (Discourse Functions and Discourse Representations: An Empirically and Linguistically Motivated Interdisciplinarily-Oriented Approach to Natural Language Texts) will be holding its final project workshop and review to mark the end of the project. DANDELION has developed theories of a number of phenomena in discourse including coherence relations, information structuring, thematic development, causal and contrastive connectives, aspect and text structure, and discourse functions of NP types. In parallel, it has produced and enhanced computational resources for the investigation and development of discourse theories. Presentations at the workshop will reflect the project's diversity and its attempts to find syntheses of current theoretical positions. Computational resources will be demonstrated. For further information and for registering interest in attending the workshop, please contact: either Ute Kischel (e-mail: kischel@darmstadt.gmd.de, tel.: +49/6151-869-811; fax.: +49/6151-869-818) or Klaas Jan Rondhuis (rondhuis@darmstadt.gmd.de). Accomodation will be in local hotels near to the institute in Darmstadt and should be organized by participants directly. A list of available hotels, their locations, and prices will be faxed on request. The detailed programme for the workshop will be circulated in the next couple of weeks. -- ------------------------------------------------------ Harry C.
