Those of you that are interested in Languages of Space should be interested
in
L A N G U A G E S OF DESIGN
________________________________________________________
the international journal of formalisms for

WORD, IMAGE, & SOUND
________________________________________________________

Languages of design is an international, interdisciplinary journal
devoted to research in formal languages and their use for the synthesis
of words, images, and sounds. Languages of design welcomes articles
employing linguistic techniques to generate literary and non-literary
texts, music, and visual works including art, dance, theater,
architecture and all types of design.

This multidisciplinary focus is reflected by the journal's editorial board,
which includes literary theorists, music theorists and composers,
researchers in artificial intelligence, artists and art critics. Formal
design theory, generative grammars, shape grammars, and computational
musicology are central to the subjects covered by the journal. More
general subject areas, such as formal languages, finite state automata,
grammatical inference, pattern recognition, cellular automata, semantic
networks, connectionism, and syntactical analysis are discussed in the
context of their application to productive systems. Specific analytic
perspectives, such as syntactics, semiotics, deconstruction, hermeneutics,
stylistics, narratology, philology, morphology, prosody, harmony theory,
formal musicology, and performance analysis will be presented in terms
of their impact and influence on a theoretical foundation for productive
systems. Research results from visual, audio and textual analyses that
may have an impact on the arts are also invited. Of particular interest
is research utilizing computational methods to verify theoretical formal
analysis. Articles criticizing the assumptions and results of this work
are also welcome.

We are a relatively new journal deeply concerned with the problems of
interpretation and expression and their formal representation.
