2nd Call for Papers:

The Society for Computation in Linguistics will hold its eighth meeting, SCiL 2025, from July 18-20th, 2025. It will be held on the campus of University of Oregon, co-located with the LSA Summer Institute. SCiL 2025 will include both in-person and on-line presentations.

We seek high-quality research on computational and mathematical approaches in any area of linguistics. Submissions to SCiL should involve a substantial computational and/or mathematical modeling component, make direct contact with linguistics, and be written for an interdisciplinary audience. There will be two submission tracks: papers and abstracts, and two types of presentation: talks and posters.

A special Symposium on Computational Pragmatics will be held jointly with the annual meeting of SCiL. If you would like your submission to be considered for the Symposium, please indicate this at submission time. Potential topics include:
- Social factors in language
- Pragmatic reasoning
- Non-literal meaning
- Perspective-taking and theory-of-mind
- Discourse coherence
- Dynamic models of discourse context
- Entity tracking, and discourse prominence
- Implicature, presupposition, and other non-at-issue content
- Questions-Under-Discussion and the Common Ground

We also welcome lightning talks on methodologies for computational pragmatics.
