First Announcement of the 13th Annual Conference on the Architectures
and Mechanisms for Language Processing (AMLaP), August 24-27, 2007

This is the first time AMLaP will be held in the Nordic Countries. More
information about the conference is available at http://amlap.utu.fi/

AMLaP is an annual international conference, which has established
itself as the premier European venue for interdisciplinary research on
how people process language. The conference aims to bring together
psychological, linguistic, computational, and theoretical perspectives
on the cognitive architectures and mechanisms which underlie any aspect
of human language processing - from lexical processing, parsing and
interpretation through to discourse level mechanisms. Contributions to
AMLaP 2007, which explicitly relate empirical findings to computational
mechanisms are especially encouraged. Topics relevant to the conference
include (but are not limited to): language production, parsing and
interpretation, word recognition, speech perception, lexical processing
and representation, morphology, reading, discourse processing, language
acquisition, cross-linguistic studies, corpus-based studies, learning
mechanisms, models of acquisition, connectionist models, statistical
mechanisms, computational models and computer simulations.
