Research at the meeting point of linguistics and computation, particularly as influenced by work in artificial intelligence and cognitive science, continues to be fruitful in many ways for understanding human language and for developing useful language technologies. This work is distributed among many different subfields of linguistics, computer science, psychology, neuroscience, and more.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/artificial-intelligence/sections/language-and-computation" class="">Frontiers in AI: Language and Computation</a> provides a unified forum for such work. We seek to publish and promote the highest-quality research at the intersection of language and computation, that which seeks to use information processing models and methods to elucidate the nature, structure, and operation of human language. Furthermore, by being a large tent for diverse related subfields, we aim to enable transformational advances in the understanding of language by facilitating transdisciplinary discussion and collaboration. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">For this initial call for papers, we solicit submissions of position papers, regular research articles, and surveys.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Both theoretical and experimental work is within the scope of the journal – we seek a broad coverage of all research areas in language and computation. We do not restrict the spectrum of methodologies used in research presented in contributions to the journal. However, preference will be given to submissions that advance our understanding of linguistic structures and mechanisms.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Position Papers</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Position papers are articles of up to 3000 words discussing issues or trends of importance or interest to the language and computation research community.
