    MIDWEST COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS COLLOQUIUM

    The Department of Linguistics at Indiana University is pleased to announce the inaugural meeting of the MCLC, a conference intended to provide a strong, local (midwestern) venue for the discussion of new research in subfield of Linguistics of interest to Computational Linguists. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics and Pragmatics, Learnability of Formal Grammar, Grammar Induction, Integration of Symbolic and Stochastic Models of Grammar, Foundational/Methodological/Architectural Issues in Grammar.

    PhD students and Researchers with unfinished work in need of feedback/discussion are especially encouraged to apply. More information at:
