Recent advances in theoretical, computational, and applied linguistics demonstrate a need to integrate information across all the individual linguistic modules that are involved in the comprehension of spoken discourse. To facilitate this integration, a workshop on the Grammatical Foundations of Prosody and Discourse will be held between June 23rd and July 7th, 1991, at the University of California at Santa Cruz, during the first two weeks of the Summer Institute sponsored by the Linguistic Society of America and co-sponsored by the Association for Computational Linguistics and the American Association for Artificial Intelligence. The workshop, which will culminate in a short conference, will bring together internationally known researchers, both from academia and industry, who work at the interfaces between linguistic specializations. It will provide the opportunity for researchers in speech processing, phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, and discourse to work together to develop a common understanding of crucial theoretical, descriptive, and computational issues in spoken language understanding across their subject areas. An important task for the two week long meeting will be to explore how information expressed in one module of the grammar, syntactic structure for example, can best be organized to convey all the information needed by other related modules, such as discourse and prosody. Such an exploration is needed for the development of more robust computational systems for natural language understanding, translation, and generation, as well as being directly applicable to speech understanding and synthesis technology. Holding the meeting at the Linguistic Institute and encouraging participation by Institute attendees at many of the workshop functions as well as at the public conference will assure that the concerns to be addressed will be disseminated among the linguistic community at large.

理论、计算和应用语言学的最新进展表明，需要整合参与理解口语话语的所有单个语言模块的信息。 为了促进这种整合，将于 1991 年 6 月 23 日至 7 月 7 日在暑期学院的前两周在加州大学圣克鲁斯分校举办一个关于韵律和语篇语法基础的研讨会，该研讨会由美国语言学会主办，计算语言学协会和美国人工智能协会共同主办。 该研讨会将在一次简短的会议中达到高潮，将汇集来自学术界和工业界的国际知名研究人员，他们从事语言专业之间的交叉工作。 它将为语音处理、语音学、音韵学、句法、语义和话语领域的研究人员提供机会，共同努力，对各学科领域口语理解中的关键理论、描述性和计算问题达成共识。 为期两周的会议的一项重要任务将是探讨如何最好地组织语法一个模块（例如句法结构）中表达的信息，以传达其他相关模块（例如语篇和韵律）所需的所有信息。 为了开发更强大的自然语言理解、翻译和生成计算系统，以及直接应用于语音理解和合成技术，需要进行这样的探索。 在语言研究所举行会议并鼓励研究所与会者参加许多研讨会活动以及公开会议，将确保要解​​决的问题能够在整个语言界得到传播。
