Meeting Description:

PACLIC (Pacific Asia Conference on Language, Information, and Computation) is a
unique conference in its inter-disciplinary and multi-lingual nature. It aims to
create synergy between theoretical and computational linguists, as well as to
provide a forum for exchange and sharing of ideas among scholars of the Pacific
Asia region. Our vision is that the development and sharing of knowledge cannot
be blocked by disciplinary and national boundaries. The strength of the Pacific
Asia region lies in its multilingualism and multi-cultural heritage. Substantial
contribution to human beings can be made if synergy is created across the
multi-lingual and multi-cultural spectrum. The endurance and longevity of the
PACLIC conferences attest to the validity of this vision.

PACLIC19, just like all previous PACLIC's, welcomes original researches in
linguistic accounts and their application to and/or ramifications for language
and speech processing.

Foci of these studies should be on Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, and other
languages used in the Pacific-Asia region.

The 19th Pacific Asia Conference on Language, Information and Computation
(PACLIC19) will be held in Academia Sinica on December 1-3, 2005. Following the
long tradition of PACLIC conferences, PACLIC19 emphasizes the synergy of
linguistic analysis and language processing - from theoretical frameworks to
cognitive accounts, from information processing to language understanding, and
from computational modelling to multi-lingual application. PACLIC19 will be
hosted by the Institute of Linguistics, Academia Sinica, and Taiwan's academic
association for computational linguistics, the Association for Computational
Linguistics and Chinese Language Processing (ACLCLP). The PACLIC19 website can
be found at http://paclic19.sinica.edu.tw.

We invite submissions of extended abstracts of unpublished research on all
aspects of theoretical and computational linguistics with special focus on
language spoken in the Pacific Asia region. Possible topics include but are not
limited to: (1) morphology, (2) phonology, (3) syntax, (4) semantics, (5)
pragmatics, (6) discourse analysis, (7) typology, (8) corpus linguistics, (9)
formal grammar theory, (10) natural language processing, (11) natural language
systems and (12) related computer applications.

Abstracts should not be longer than six (6) A4 pages (about 1,500 words). They
should use 11pt fonts and double line spacing throughout. Author information
should appear in a separate page containing the following information: (1) title
of the paper, (2) name(s) of the author(s), (3) affiliation(s), (4) postal
address, (5) e-mail address for correspondence, (6) the preference for oral or
poster presentation, and (7) the intention to be considered for young scholar
award. Accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings. The
camera-ready final papers should be about 10 A4 pages with single line spacing.

The deadline for abstract submission is July 15, 2005. We accept only online
electronic submissions. The online submission system will soon be available at
the PACLIC 19 website. Hard copy submission will not be accepted.
