                      Call for Papers

Workshop on Morphological and Phonological Learning
                    Philadelphia, PA

                    Sixth Meeting of the
  ACL Special Interest Group in Computational Phonology
                    in cooperation with
  ACL Special Interest Group in Natural Language Learning



The Workshop on Morphological and Phonological Learning
will be held July 11 2002, immediately after the ACL-02
meetings at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
Pennsylvania, USA.

The workshop web site, with further information, is

Topics
------

* Tools to help a native speaker or linguist visualize and
  describe the morphology and/or phonology of a language

* Tools for (semi-)automated discovery of morphology and/or
  phonology

* Databases and annotation tools designed for morphological
  or phonological information, particularly as these relate
  to learning

* Resources for learning (taggers, seed grammars and
  lexicons, partially annotated text, bilingual text, etc.)

* Linguistic (knowledge-based) approaches vs. empirical
  approaches; hybrid methodologies

* Evaluation/comparison of morphology learning technologies

* Adapting and reusing grammars and lexicons among related
  languages

* Application of learned morphologies and phonologies
  (proofreading, machine translation, linguistic research,
  documentation of endangered languages, speech recognition)

* Theoretical results on learnability or representation

--------

* Submission Deadline: 5 April 2002

* Notification: 25 April 2002

* Camera-ready Copy Due: 21 May 2002
