Sixth Annual Meeting of the Society for Text and Discourse
Thursday and Friday, July 11 and 12, 1996
Radisson Hotel La Jolla (near the University of California at San Diego campus)
We are pleased to announce the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Society for Text and Discourse. The meeting will be held the two days preceding the annual meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (which is being hosted by the University of California at San Diego). The Sixth Annual Meeting of the Society for Text and Discourse will begin with a welcome reception, Wednesday evening, July 10th, around the outdoor pool at the Radisson Hotel La Jolla. Spoken papers and invited addresses will begin the morning of Thursday, July 11 and end the afternoon of Friday, July 12. A poster session will be held Thursday evening, July 11. All events of the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Society for Text and Discourse will occur in the Radisson Hotel La Jolla.
The Society for Text and Discourse is an international society of researchers who investigate all aspects of discourse processing and text analysis. The purpose of the Society is to consolidate research in discourse processing and to enhance communication among researchers in different disciplines. Therefore, we invite scholars from various disciplines (e.g., psychology, linguistics, artificial intelligence, education, sociology, anthropology, communications, and philosophy) to attend and participate in the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Society for Text and Discourse.
We are very pleased to announce a special feature of this year's annual meeting: Herbert Clark, Robin Lakoff, Wendy Lehnert, Emanual Schegloff, and Barbara Rogoff each will be giving an invited address. Thus, we hope that you, too, will join us by submitting a proposal for participation in the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Society for Text and Discourse and by attending what we believe will be an excellent meeting.
