CUP/ACL Book Series "Studies in Natural Language Processing"
Bran Boguraev and Steven Bird

CUP data data concerning sales figures, print runs, and distributions
cannot be made public.  However, the series is progressing on its agenda of
seeking and publishing work representative of the state-of-the-art in a
number of topics of interest to the CL/NLP community.  Feedback from sales
suggests that interest in the community is maintained at level similar to
prior years; levels of sales are in line with the types of scholarly books
that have been published recently.

Since the last report, Steven Bird has joined Bran Boguraev as an
Editor of the Series.  Currently, we are in the process of migrating
between Acquisitions Editors (Alan Harvey -> Andy Beck) at CUP (and
moving the Series headquarters from the CUP office at Stanford to the
main CUP office in New York).

Below is an enumeration of on-going projects, at different stages of
progress:

 1. Books that were published since the last report:

  *  Cole,R. et al. (eds.),   "Survey of the State of the Art
                               in Human Language Technology"
  *  Bosch,P. &               "Focus: Linguistic, Cognitive,
     van der Sandt,R. (eds.),  and Computational Perspective"
  *  Kornai,A. (ed.),         "Extended Finite State Models for NLP"
  *  Busa,F. & Bouillon,P.,   "The Language of Word Meaning"
  *  Carter,D. & Rayner,M.,   "The Spoken Language Translator"
  *  Sproat,R.,               "A Computational Theory of Writing Systems"
  *  Reiter,E. & Dale,R.,     "Building Natural Language Generation Systems"

  [Note: The Kornai book is an interesting experiment, where a volume
         in a book series is closely tied in, in a complementary
         way, to a special issue of a journal
         ("Natural Language Engineering; special issue on
         FS Models of Language"); as a very successful
         experiment, we are planning other similar projects]

 2. The following new projects have been approved (Syndicated and
    contracted) over the last period:

  *  Wilks,Y.,                "Machine Translation; Its Scope and Limits"
  *  Karttunen,L. &           "Finite State Morphology"
     Beesley,K.

 3. Forthcoming titles (without projected publication dates):

  *  Asher,N. &               "From Discourse to the Lexicon:
     Lascarides,A.,            Interpretation in Context"
  *  Basili,R. et al.,        "Lexical Acquisition for Practical NLP Systems"
  *  Carroll,J.,              "Practical Natural Language Parsing"
  *  Ellison,M.,              "Machine Learning of Phonological Structure"
  *  Wilks,Y.                 "Language, Cohesion and Form:
                               Selected Papers of Margaret Masterman"
  *  Carl Pollard             "Generalized Phrase Structure Grammars"

 4. Titles currently in production

  *  Kiraz,G.,                "Computational Nonlinear Morphology"
