It outlines the current capabilities of CL methods in analyzing linguistic structures and proposes that these can illuminate various non-computational linguistic issues.
The authors aim to spark dialogue about the potential contributions of CL to fields such as grammatical theory while acknowledging limitations in the breadth of topics covered. Programme Committee received a large number of submissions 5 page extended abstracts from all over the world. The general quality of the submissions was high. Out of a total of submissions, 47 were accepted, including 7 reserve papers. Every abstract submitted was reviewed by one member of the Programme Committee and three referees see pages v and vi.
Electronic submission and reviewing procedures helped to speed up this process and turned out not to cause an unreasonable work load at our centre. We trust that the resulting programme offers an inspiring cross-section of excellent work in the field. The programme features invited talks and thematic sessions around two prominent themes in contemporary research: the relations between logic and computational linguistics, and the use of data-oriented methods in CL.
The thematic orientation is further developed in the tutorial sessions which are scheduled the days preceding the conference April New elements compared This collection of invited papers covers a lot of ground in its nearly pages, so any review of reasonable length will necessarily be selective. However, there are a number of features that make the book as a whole a comparatively easy and thoroughly rewarding read.
Multiauthor compendia of this kind are often disjointed, with very little uniformity from chapter to chapter in terms of breadth, depth, and format. Such is not the case here.
