We invite<br>contributions that apply methods from computational linguistics to<br>problems in the cognitive modeling of any and all natural language<br>abilities. The 2014 workshop follows in the tradition of earlier CMCL<br>meetings at ACL 2010, ACL 2011, NAACL-HLT 2012, ACL 2013.<br><br>Scope and Topics <br>------------------------<br><br>The workshop invites a broad spectrum of work in the cognitive science<br>of language, at all levels of analysis from sounds to discourse and on<br>both learning and processing. Topics include, but are not limited to:<br><br> - incremental parsers for diverse grammar formalisms<br> - derivations of quantitative measures of comprehension difficulty, or <br> predictions regarding generalization in language learning<br> - stochastic models of factors encouraging one production or interpretation <br> over its competitors<br> - models of semantic/pragmatic interpretation, including psychologically <br> realistic notions of word meaning, phrase meaning, composition, and <br> pragmatic inference<br> - models and empirical analysis of the relationship between mechanistic <br> psycholinguistic principles and pragmatic or semantic adaptation<br> - models of human language acquisition and/or adaptation in a changing <br> linguistic environment<br> - models of linguistic information propagation and language change in <br> communication networks<br> - models of lexical acquisition, including phonology, morphology, and semantics<br> - psychologically motivated models of grammar induction or semantic learning<br><br>Submissions are especially welcomed that combine computational<br>modeling work with empirical data (e.g., corpora or experiments) to<br>test theoretical questions about the nature of human language<br>acquisition, comprehension, and/or production.<br><br>Submissions<br>-----------------<br><br>This call solicits full papers reporting original and unpublished<br>research that combines cognitive modeling and computational<br>linguistics. Accepted papers are expected to be presented at the<br>workshop and will be published in the workshop proceedings. They<br>should emphasize obtained results rather than intended work, and<br>should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported<br>results. A paper accepted for presentation at the workshop must not be<br>presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly<br>available proceedings. If essentially identical papers are submitted<br>to other conferences or workshops as well, this fact must be indicated<br>at submission time. No submission should be longer than necessary, up<br>to a maximum 8 pages plus two additional pages containing references.<br><br>To facilitate double-blind reviewing, submitted manuscripts should not<br>include any identifying information about the authors.<br><br>Submissions must be formatted using ACL 2014 style files available at<br><br> <a href="http://www.cs.jhu.edu/ACL2014/CallforPapers.htm">http://www.cs.jhu.edu/ACL2014/CallforPapers.htm</a><br><br>Contributions should be submitted in PDF via the submission site:<br><br> <a href="https://www.softconf.com/acl2014/CMCL/">https://www.softconf.com/acl2014/CMCL/</a><br><br>The submission deadline is 11:59PM Pacific Time on March 18, 2014.<br><br>Important Dates<br>---------------------<br><br>Submission deadline: 18 March 2014<br>Notification of acceptance: 18 April 2014<br>Camera-ready versions due: 28 April 2014<br>Workshop: June 26, 2014<br><br>Workshop Chairs<br>-----------------------<br><br>Vera Demberg<br>Multimodal Computing and Interaction Cluster of Excellence, Saarland University, Germany<br><br>Tim O’Donnell<br>Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA<br><br>Program Committee<br>---------------------------<br><br>Afra Alishahi, Tilburg University<br>Klinton Bicknell, University of Rochester<br>Alexander Clark, King's College London<br>Jennifer Culbertson, George Mason <br>Afsaneh Fazly, University of Toronto<br>Bob Frank, Yale<br>Stefan Frank, Radboud University Nijmegen<br>Stella Frank, University of Edinburgh<br>John T.
