CoBaLiSE

This is the web page of CoBaLiSE: an organization for people interested in Constraint Based Linguistics, in the South East of England.

It used to be called SECBaLC: the South Eastern Constraint Based Linguistic Circle (pronounced almost like `sick bag', but no-one liked the name).

So far there have been six meetings (see below), held a irregular intervals.

The next meeting will be on fairly soon, hopefully. Tuesday, December 1. at Essex, organized by Doug Arnold doug#essex.ac.uk, and Bob Borsley rborsley#essex.ac.uk. Guest speakers will include Bob Levine.
