Special issue on Computational Approaches to Morphological Typology

We invite researchers in the broad area of computational morphology to submit
their recent, unpublished work to a special issue of the Journal of Language
Modelling <https://jlm.ipipan.waw.pl>

Motivation: Computational techniques have a long history of use in the study
of morphology, where they have been used both for practical tasks such as the
analysis and production of complex word forms and for theoretical ones such as
structural and informational analysis of morphological systems. As both
systems and datasets improve, these techniques are increasingly developed and
evaluated on a typologically diverse array of languages, including many which
are endangered or lack large-scale resources. Detailed comparisons across
languages can help to reveal typological biases or assumptions within existing
computational techniques [1,2]. Alternatively, computational methods and
analyses can also shed light on questions within linguistic typology [3-6].

The goal of this special issue is to bring researchers from multiple
communities together in exploring issues of linguistic typology across a wide
range of different languages and phenomena. We submission on endangered or
less-studied languages. The JLM is a free open-access peer-reviewed journal.
All articles are peer-reviewed by at least 3 reviewers, usually including at
least one member of the Editorial Board.

Topics of interest:

- Typological clustering or classification of languages
- Investigation of particular linguistic features which improve or detract
from the performance of computational morphology tools
- Comparison of morphological structures (e.g., inflection classes,
implicative networks) across typologically different languages
- Investigation of diachronic typological change using computational methods
- Creation, curation or analysis of typological databases via computational
methods

Submissions: 

The submissions should be journal papers, not proceedings papers, totalling
25-50 pages, excluding references. 

Authors are advised to use the online manuscript submission for the journal.
Make sure to select the special issue when asked to provide the article type.
