What characterizes this kind of approach is the fact that NLP is considered from various viewpoints (linguistics, psychology, statistics, computer science, artificial intelligence), and that a deliberate effort is made to reconcile or integrate these viewpoints into a coherent whole. We believe that this is necessary, as the modeling of the process is simply too complex to be addressed by a single discipline. No matter whether we deal with a natural system (people), an artificial system (computers) or a combination of both (interactive NLP), systems rely on many types of very different knowledge sources. Hence, strategies vary considerably depending on the person (novice, expert), on the available knowledge (internal and external), and on the nature of the information processor: man, machine or both (man-machine communication, interactive NLP). This being so, any of the following aspects are welcomed: structure, representation and processing of information by different agents (natural, artificial or both) and in different communication modes. Call for Papers: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Ontologies Text mining Conceptualisation Meaning construction Electronic Dictionaries Evolutionary NLP Discourse processing Social cognition of language Multi-Lingual Processing Speech Processing Pragmatics and NLP Tools and Resources in NLP Evaluation of NLP Systems Embodied and situated NLP Computational Models of NLP Emotion and language processing Translation and Machine Translation Multimodality in speech / text processing Cognitive and Psychological Models of NLP Text Summarization and Information Extraction Natural Language Interfaces and Dialogue Systems Paper Submission: Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics listed above. Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex formats) are available on our website: http://www.iceis.org/NLPCS.aspx Papers should be submitted electronically via the web-based submission system at: http://www.insticc.org/Primoris Important Dates: Paper submission: March 30, 2012 Author notification: April 20, 2012 Final paper submission and registration: May 4, 2012 Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 12-Jan-2012       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
