Deadline Extended to March 15, 2000
The MLA Discussion Group on Computer Studies in Language and
Literature announces a call papers for the 2000 MLA Convention in
Washington, D.C.
The session title is “Computer Studies in Language and Literature:
What Counts and Why.”
The MLA call is as follows: “Current studies in stylistics, authorship,
linguistics, pedagogy, quantitative and qualitative analysis, etc., with
special emphasis on new directions, discontents, and the state of the
art.”
We are interested in broadening the range of papers in our sessions,
and are particularly interested in papers that propose new directions
of research or address the historically relatively low interest in
sessions that involve computer studies in language and literature.
Web-based and hypertext studies (web-based corpora,
concordances, text-analyses, and so forth) are also welcome, as long
as they use the computer to study language or literature rather than
just to present it.
Note: All session participants must be MLA members by April 1,
2000.
If you are laboring in these vineyards, please join us. The session will
be followed by a business meeting, in which a new committee
member will be elected.
As an additional incentive, the three people whose submissions are
chosen will receive a copy of David Hoover’s 1999 book,
_Language and Style in The Inheritors_.
E-mail submissions to david.hoover@nyu.edu by March 15.
David L. Hoover, Associate Chair & Webmaster, NYU Eng. Dept. 212-998-8832
