Meeting Description:

Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics (CMCL) 2014 is a one-day workshop to be held in conjunction with the Annual 
Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), Baltimore, Maryland on 26 June 2014. This workshop provides a 
venue for work in computational psycholinguistics: computational and mathematical modeling of linguistic representation, 
development, and processing.

Final Call for Papers:

Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics 2014 (CMCL-2014)

A workshop at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)
Baltimore, Maryland, USA
26 June 2014
http://cmcl.mit.edu/

Workshop Description:

This workshop provides a venue for work in computational psycholinguistics: the computational and mathematical modeling of linguistic 
generalization, development, and processing. The workshop invites a broad spectrum of work on the modeling of language, at all levels of 
analysis from sounds to discourse and on both learning and processing. Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Incremental parsers for diverse grammar formalisms
- Derivations of quantitative measures of comprehension difficulty, or predictions regarding generalization in language learning
- Stochastic models of factors encouraging one production or interpretation over its competitors
- Models of semantic/pragmatic interpretation, including psychologically realistic notions of word meaning, phrase meaning, composition, and 
pragmatic inference
- Models and empirical analysis of the relationship between mechanistic psycholinguistic principles and pragmatic or semantic adaptation
- Models of human language acquisition and/or adaptation in a changing linguistic environment
- Models of linguistic information propagation and language change in communication networks
- Models of lexical acquisition, including phonology, morphology, and semantics
- Psychologically motivated models of grammar induction or semantic learning

Submissions are especially welcomed that combine computational modeling work with empirical data (e.g., corpora or experiments) to test 
theoretical questions about the nature of human language acquisition, comprehension, and/or production.

Submissions:

This call solicits full papers reporting original and unpublished research that combines cognitive modeling and computational linguistics. 
Accepted papers are expected to be presented at the workshop and will be published in the workshop proceedings. They should emphasize 
obtained results rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. A paper accepted for 
presentation at the workshop must not be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available proceedings. If 
essentially identical papers are submitted to other conferences or workshops as well, this fact must be indicated at submission time. No 
submission should be longer than necessary, up to a maximum 8 pages plus two additional pages containing references.

To facilitate double-blind reviewing, submitted manuscripts should not include any identifying information about the authors.

Submissions must be formatted using ACL 2014 style files available at:

http://www.cs.jhu.edu/ACL2014/CallforPapers.htm

Contributions should be submitted in PDF via the submission site:

https://www.softconf.com/acl2014/CMCL/

The submission deadline is 11:59PM Pacific Time on 15 March 2014.

Important Dates:

Submission deadline: 15 March 2014
Notification of acceptance: 11 April 2014
Camera-ready versions due: 28 April 2014
Workshop: 26 June 2014

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $75,000. This money will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out Fund Drive 2014 site!

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2014/

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to donate by check, money order, PayPal or wire transfer, please visit: http://linguistlist.org/donation/

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
