The objectives of the Morpho Challenge evaluation campaigns are to compare the results and algorithms of various morphological systems on a task of morpheme segmentation and analysis. The competition involves five languages : English, German, Finnish, Turkish and Arabic. The researches presented at the SigMorPhon workshops deal on the whole with phonology and morphology. Besides these objectives, systems centered on morphology produce other information, of a linguistic nature, in the course of the processes they perform. And these results are particularly relevant to the special issue we propose. The issue aims at exploring the situation of morphology with respect to its established interfaces such as: -phonology, -syntax, -semantics, -lexicon, but also its connections with cognitive processes and language acquisition. Therefore, submitted papers should not be limited to the presentation of results of competitions. Rather, the themes of this issue include all studies dealing computationally with any complex matter related to derivation or compounding. Original models of inflectional morphology are also welcome. The studies can be concerned with the morphology of the general language, but also with that of specialty domains languages. Studies may have to do with French as well as with any other language in the world; the described systems may be monolingual or multilingual. Papers on specific applications in NLP and linguistics are also welcome, including: * machine translation * information retrieval * terminology * language typology * dialectology * evolution of languages and phylogenetics All approaches are welcome, including rule-based methods, analogy-based ones, or mixed approaches. They can involve unsupervised, semi-supervised or supervised machine learning. Practical Issues: Contributions (25 pages maximum, PDF format) must also be sent by e-mail to them. Style sheets are available on the Web site of the journal (http://www.atala.org/English-style-files).
