ACL Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Martin Kay described this topic as 'build[ing] models of language that reflect in some interesting way, on the ways in which people use language.' The 2010 workshop follows in the tradition of several previous meetings (1) The computational psycholinguistics meeting at CogSci in Berkeley in 1997 (2) The Incremental Parsing workshop at ACL 2004 (3) The first CMCL workshop at ACL 2010 in inviting contributions that apply methods from computational linguistics to problems in the cognitive modeling of any and all natural language abilities. Workshop Chairs: Frank Keller, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh David Reitter, Department of Psychology, Carnegie Mellon University Program Committee: Steven Abney, Michigan Harald R.

ACL Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Martin Kay described this topic as 'build[ing] models of language that reflect in some interesting way, on the ways in which people use language.' Following several successful related workshops, we have selected from a large number of submissions several outstanding contributions that apply methods from computational linguistics to problems in the cognitive modeling of any and all natural language abilities. Scope and Topics The workshop presents a broad spectrum of work in the cognitive science of language, at all levels of analysis from sounds to discourse. It emphasizes precise, computational and cognitively valid and empirically verified models. This year's topics include: * Cognitively plausible parsers, syntactic and morphological * Segmentation, * Human language acquisition, including grammar induction, * Models of adaptation and coordination in language production and comprehension in dialogue, * Referring expression interpretation, * Reading, * Lexical semantics, and * Linguistic variants of clinical relevance. Best Student Paper The best paper whose first author is a student will receive the Best Student Paper award, sponsored by the Cognitive Science Society. The award consists of USD 250 and a one-year membership to the Cognitive Science Society. Participation To participate in the workshop, register now at the ACL2011 site: http://www.aclweb.org/membership/acl2011reg.php Early registration runs until May 23, 2011.
