Summary

This document is not a single research article. It is the front matter of the March 1990 issue of Computational Linguistics (Volume 16, Number 1), which the MIT Press publishes for the Association for Computational Linguistics. The extracted text holds only the table of contents and the editorial and subscription page. It contains no article bodies, data, methods or results. The issue has four research papers: Pereira on categorial semantics and scoping, Dawar and Vijay-Shanker on negation in feature structure descriptions, Church and Hanks on word association norms, mutual information and lexicography, and Shieber, van Noord, Pereira and Moore on semantic-head-driven generation. It also has a letter from Michael B. Kac, seven book reviews, and the usual listings of new books and abstracts. For the library, the record works as a bibliographic index entry. It points to influential work such as the Church–Hanks paper on association measures. Its content summaries should be catalogued from the full articles.
