Semantics and Processing UMOP: call for papers
We are inviting submissions for a UMOP volume on semantic processing (UMOP 35). The goal of the volume is to bring together recent work in and around the department on the application of psycholinguistic methods to semantics, and investigations of semantic processing. We also encourage submissions dealing with related issues in the experimental investigation of meaning, such as morphology and syntax. Authors should be aware that publication in this volume does not preclude future publication of their work elsewhere.
Papers should be emailed to Florian.
Deadline: Monday, January 29th 2007
Recommended paper length: maximum 25 pages
Styleguide: (for LaTeX and Word submission guildelines)

Volume editors are Jan Anderssen, Keir Moulton, Florian Schwarz, and Cherlon Ussery.
