Papers are invited on substantial, original, and unpublished research on all aspects of computational linguistics, including, but not limited to:
- pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax and the lexicon;
- phonetics, phonology and morphology;
- interpreting and generating spoken and written language;
- linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language;
- language-oriented information retrieval, question answering, summarization and information extraction;
- language-oriented machine learning;
- corpus-based language modelling;
- multi-lingual processing, machine translation and translation aids; - natural language interfaces and dialogue systems;
- approaches to coordinating the linguistic with other modalities in multi-media systems;
- message and narrative understanding systems;
- tools and resources;
- evaluation of systems and evaluation methodology

Papers on tools and resources for less-studied European and African/Mediterranean languages are particularly encouraged.

Requirements

Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be included. A paper accepted for presentation at the EACL Meeting cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the title page, as must papers that contain significant overlap with previously published work.

Reviewing

The reviewing of the papers will be blind. Reviewing will be managed by an international Conference Programme Committee consisting of Area Chairs. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. Final decisions on the technical program will be made by the Conference Programme Committee.
