The Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (ALLC) and the
Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) hereby announce their
2004 joint conference to be held in Gteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden


               Computing and Multilingual, Multicultural Heritage

                  16th Joint Annual Conference of ALLC and ACH
                June 11-16, 2004, Gteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden




The joint conference of the Association for Literary and Linguistic
Computing (ALLC) and the Association for Computers and the Humanities
(ACH) is the oldest established meeting of scholars working at the
intersection of advanced information technologies and the humanities,
annually attracting a distinguished international community of scholars
at the forefront of their fields.

The 2004 conference has two aims. First, we invite papers and
contributions in all areas related to humanities computing and the
application of advanced information technologies in humanities subjects,
including linguistics, literature, cultural and historical studies,
translation studies, media studies and digital collections. Papers on
research and on teaching are both of interest.  Papers may report on new
theoretical and methodological advances in any relevant field. Second,
within this context, the conference is expected to address the increased
challenges of multilingualism, an issue manifested by the further
enlargement of Europe and the process of integration of nations world
wide. We thus also encourage papers related to the linguistic and
cultural issues of multilingual communities.

It is clear that specialists in humanities computing can help achieve
these aims through individual scientific and educational tasks and joint
projects, as well as by making available their research base through
educational and electronic library resources. We believe that responding
to these new challenges will also have a fertilizing effect on humanities
computing as a whole by opening up new ways and methodologies to enhance
the use of computers and computation in a wide range of humanities
disciplines.

The Call for Papers for the 2004 Joint ALLC/ACH Conference will be
published in June 2003. We welcome presentations in English, French,
German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish.

Further information on the research and educational activities as well as
on past conferences of the two associations can be found at www.allc.org
(ALLC) and www.ach.org (ACH).  For an overview of the range of topics
covered by humanities computing please refer to the journals of the
Associations, Literary and Linguistic Computing (www.oup.co.uk) and
Computers and the Humanities (www.kluweronline.com).
