Fr: Peter Anick Re: Foreign Language IR Products I am looking for pointers to IR products (either PC-based or workstation-based) that support retrieval of documents in Japanese, French, and/or Spanish. I would also be interested in knowing whether public domain lexicons (containing root forms, inflected forms, and parts of speech) are available for any of these languages. Thanks much.

Congress of Phonetic Sciences XIIIth INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF PHONETIC SCIENCES ICPHS '95 Stockholm, Sweden August 13-19, 1995 Dear Colleagues, It is our pleasure to invite you to the XIIIth International Congress of Phonetic Sciences (ICPhS '95). It will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, August 13-19, 1995. The congress is a joint venture of our two departments, but with organisational and scientific support from the entire Swedish phonetics community. As usual, the congress will invite contributions from all aspects of the phonetic sciences in the broadest sense. With four years between congresses in this series, we look forward to intense discussion and exchange of new results in phonetics. We believe that Stockholm, in August 1995, will be a good setting for this. Welcome to Stockholm in 1995!
