<DIV>Dear Colleagues,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the context of the OALI initiative (Open Access in Linguistics: <A
href="http://hpsg.fu-berlin.de/OALI/">http://hpsg.fu-berlin.de/OALI/</A>) and in
the framework offered by the non-profit publisher Language Science Press (<A
href="http://langsci-press.org">http://langsci-press.org</A>), it is our
pleasure to announce the new open access book series</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Tanslation and Multilingual Natural Language Processing
(TMNLP)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It centres around human and machine translation, with a special emphasis on
empirical studies. This includes computational, corpus linguistic and cognitive
aspects of translation. Examples of possible topics are:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- machine translation (statistical, rule-based, example-based and
hybrid)</DIV>
<DIV>- machine aided translation and interpreting <BR>- translation technology
<BR>- use of corpora in translation <BR>- annotation, alignment and
searchability of translation data <BR>- cognitive aspects of translation <BR>-
modelling the translation process <BR>- multi-modal and audiovisual
translation</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The series encourages the submission of monographs, contributed volumes,
lecture notes, (revised) theses and textbooks. The publication language is
English. All submissions are reviewed by members of the editorial board.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is meant to be a book series from scientists for scientists, with no
commercial ambitions. The open access model used enables rapid publication and
ensures high visibility through free internet access for everybody. But all
books are also available in conventional printed form (with ISBN).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let us highlight some characteristics:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- High quality standards ensured through peer-reviewing by members of the
editorial board (see below)<BR>- Unrestricted free internet access under a
creative commons license (e.g. all books <BR> downloadable as PDFs, no
special online readers required, no printing restrictions)<BR>- Server
infrastructure provided by Freie Universitaet Berlin<BR>- Full text of books

Efficient standardized publication process using the software Open Monograph
Press (<A href="http://pkp.sfu.ca/omp">http://pkp.sfu.ca/omp</A>)<BR>- Authors'
and editors' communication partners are scientists working in the same
field<BR>- Conventional printed books available via print-on-demand service at
moderate cost</DIV>
