The European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL), the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), and the Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction
with EACL 2014, ACL 2014, or EMNLP 2014. We solicit proposals on any topic of interest to the ACL communities. Workshops will be held at one of the following conference venues:<br>
<br>
EACL 2014 is the 14th Annual Meeting of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL). It will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden 26-30 April. The EACL workshops will be held 26-27April. The webpage for EACL 2014 is:

dates for the ACL workshops will be 26-27 June: </span><a href="http://www.cs.jhu.edu/ACL2014/">http://www.cs.jhu.edu/ACL2014/</a><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">.</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

on Very Large Corpora and was renamed EMNLP in 1996. The main conference will be held in Doha, Qatar, October 26-28. The dates for the EMNLP workshops are still not definitive, most likely they will be October 25 and October 29 (October 30 can be available
for 2-days workshops). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black">Proposals for workshops should contain:<br>
<br>
1. A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic and content.<br>
2. The desired workshop length (one or two days) and an estimate of the number of attendees.<br>
3. The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the organizers, with one-paragraph statements of their research interests and areas of expertise.<br>
4. A list of Programme Committee members, with an indication of which members have already agreed. It is
<i><u>highly desirable</u></i> for proposals to have at least 75% of the Programme Committee reviewers confirmed at the time of the submission. Organizers should do their best to estimate the number of submissions (especially for recurring workshops) in order
to (a) ensure a sufficient number of reviewers so that each paper receives 3 reviews, and (b) anticipate that no one is committed to reviewing more than 2 papers. This practice is likely to ensure on-time, and more thorough and thoughtful reviews. Submissions
<i><u>should essentially be ready</u></i> to be turned into a Call for Workshop Papers within one week of notification (see Timelines).<br>
5. A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop.<br>
6. A description of special requirements for technical needs.<br>
7. A note specifying which venue(s) (EACL/ACL/EMNLP) would be acceptable and/or preferable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
Organizers of accepted proposals will be responsible for publicizing and running the workshop, including reviewing submissions, producing the camera ready workshop proceedings, and organizing the meeting days. It is crucial that organizers commit to all deadlines.
In particular, failure to produce the camera ready proceedings on time will lead to the exclusion of the workshop from the CD-ROM/USB & unified author indexes. Workshop organizers cannot accept for publication papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere, although
they are free to set their own policies on simultaneous submission and review. Since the conferences will occur at different times, the timescales for the submission and reviewing of workshop papers, and the preparation of camera-ready copies, will be different
for each conference. Suggested timescales for each of the conferences are given below. Workshop organizers should not deviate from this schedule unless absolutely necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
