- -------------------------- HISTORY ----------------------------

The LACL series of conferences aims at providing a forum for the
presentation and discussion of current research in all the formal
and logical aspects of computational linguistics. It started as a
workshop held in Nancy (France), in 1995. Due to its success, it
was turned, the next year, into a international conference.
LACL'96 and '97 have both been held in Nancy (France). LACL'98 has
been held in Grenoble (France). Selected papers from LACL'95 appear
in a special issue of Journal of Logic Language and Information,
7(4), 1998. The proceedings of LACL'96 and 97 appear as volumes
1328 and 1582 of Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence. The
proceedings of LACL'98 are in press with the same series.


- --------------------------- SCOPE -----------------------------

Typical topics include, but are not limited to:

   Categorial grammars, Categorial type logics, Compositionality,
   Discourse representation theory, Dynamics, Feature Logics,
   Formal language theory, Game-theoretical semantics, Grammatical
   inference, Learning theory, Linear logical frameworks, Minimalism,
   Modal logics, Montague semantics, Parsing as deduction, Proof-
   theoretic approaches, Situation semantics and situation theory,
   Type-theoretic approaches.


- --------------------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------

A4 or US quarto pages.  The paper should allow the Programme
Committee to assess the merits of the work.  In particular,
references and comparisons with related work should be included.

*****************************************************************
                         FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

              DEADLINE for submission is 1 February 2001

*****************************************************************


           NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING AND CORPUS LINGUISTICS
            New corpora, new practices and new concepts

            Special issue of the french journal TAL edited by
   Beatrice Daille (IRIN, Nantes) and Laurent Romary (LORIA, Nancy)

*****************************************************************

SCOPE

Because of its corpus based, empirical approach and of its post-hoc
formalisation, Corpus linguistics has often been viewed as the
antithesis to computational linguistics.
Over the years, corpus linguistics has developed its own tools and
methods for identifying these linguistic constructs which are primary
to many linguistic applications such as language learning and
translation.

Today the development of the Internet, the availability in electronic
format of many publications and documentations as well as the
increased power of computational tools promotes a renewed use of
corpora at all levels of linguistics theorising.

In this context, and going beyond a simple listing of technical
results, it seems important to recap the methodological and conceptual
progresses made in the field of corpus linguistics and to precisely
identify the role NLP played in these progresses.

TOPICS (NOT LIMITATIVE)

In this special issue, we wish to publish either innovative papers or
synthesis and prospective articles bearing on the following topics:

- Corpora and Linguistic Theorising: Which new theories arose or is
  arising from corpus work? How do these formal linguistic theories
  account for the linguistic constructs found in corpora e.g.,
  collocations, idioms etc?
- Corpus building: criteria, selection constraints and organisation
  for which linguistic study? How can we measure the representativity
  of a corpus with respect to a given linguistic construct?
- Methods and techniques: Which methods and techniques can we use for
  analysis (concordences, statistics, annotations)?
- Domains and applications of corpus linguistics: field linguistics,
  teaching, learning of stochastical models, semantic information
  retrieval, extraction of mono- or multi-lingual lexica, discourse
  analysis, translation.
- Infrastructure, tools and availability: Which representation
  standards? What for? Platforms providing the access to big
  corpora. Analysis tools.


FORMAT

Authors are strongly encouraged to use LaTeX2e and the HERMES
style files http://www.editions-hermes.fr/ rubrique Auteurs


LANGUAGE

Articles can be written in French or in English. English written
articles are only accepted from non-french speaking authors.

DEADLINES

The articles will be referreed by a member of the TAL editorial
board and two members of the editorial committee specifically created
by the editors for this special issue. The decision of the editorial
boards will be communicated to the authors before 1 April 2001.

The final version of the accepted papers is due on 1 May for a
publication scheduled for Autumn 2001.

JOURNAL T.A.L. http://www.atala.org/tal/

The international journal Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL) has
been published since 1969 by the french Association pour le traitement
automatique des langues (ATALA) with the support of the Centre
National pour la recherche scientifique (CNRS). The journal TAL covers
all fields of computational linguistics and its aim is to provide mainly
(but not only) french speaking researchers and students with
publications in all domains of computational linguistics. It appears
three times a year and is distributed by HERMES.

                  DERNIER APPEL A SOUMISSIONS

*****************************************************************


     TRAITEMENT AUTOMATIQUE DES LANGUES ET LINGUISTIQUE DE CORPUS
       Nouveaux corpus, nouvelles pratiques, nouveaux concepts

            Numéro spécial de la revue TAL dirigé par
   Beatrice Daille (IRIN, Nantes) et  Laurent Romary (LORIA, Nancy)

*****************************************************************

THEME

La linguistique de corpus est souvent opposée à la linguistique
informatique du fait de sa démarche empirique à partir de corpus et
d'une formalisation des phénomènes linguistiques à posteriori. Elle a
développé depuis plusieurs années ses propres méthodes et outils pour
identifier certains phénomènes linguistiques primordiaux dans de
nombreux domaines de linguistique appliquée tels que l'apprentissage des
langues ou la traduction.
Aujourd'hui, le déploiement de l'Internet, la disponibilité de
nombreuses publications et documentations sous format électronique et
l'accroissement en puissance des outils informatiques a  favorisé un
renouveau de l'usage de collections textuelles à tous les niveaux de
l'analyse linguistique.

Dans ce contexte et au delà du recensement de simples progrès
techniques, il semble important de faire le point sur les nouvelles
avancées méthodologiques et conceptuelles de la linguistique de corpus,
ainsi que de  préciser quel rôle le TAL a joué dans ces avancées.

SUJETS (LISTE NON LIMITATIVE)

Dans ce numéro spécial, nous souhaitons publier soit des papiers
innovants, soit des articles de synthèse et de prospective autour des
thématiques suivantes :

- Corpus et modèles linguistiques : Quelles théories nouvelles sont
issues ou émergent du travail spécifique sur corpus ? Comment les
théories de linguistique formelle rendent-elles compte des phénomènes
linguistiques observés en corpus, tels que les collocations, les
phraséologies, etc ?
 - Constitution de corpus : critères, contraintes de sélection et
organisation pour quelle étude linguistique ? Comment mesurer la
représentativité d'un corpus par rapport au phénomène linguistique
étudié ?
- Méthodes et techniques : Quelles méthodes et techniques d'analyse
(concordances, statistiques, annotations) ?
-  Domaines et applications de la linguistique de corpus : Linguistique
de terrain, enseignement, apprentissage de modèles stochastiques,
méthodes d'accès au contenu, extraction de lexiques mono ou
multilingues, analyse de discours, traduction.
- Infrastructures, outils et accessibilité : quels standards de
représentation? pour quoi faire ? plate-forme d'accès aux grands corpus.
Outils d'analyse.

Nous recommandons l'utilisation de LaTeX2e pour la soumission des
articles. Les feuilles de style sont disponibles chez HERMES
