of the University of Maine), the 20th Conference on Natural Language
Processing (TALN) will take place from 17th till the 21st June 2013 at
the Atlantes Congress Center, Sables D'Olonne, France. TALN'2013 is
organised under the aegis of ATALA (Association pour le Traitement
Automatique des Langues) and will be held jointly with the RECITAL'2013,

TALN'2013 will include oral presentations of research and position
papers, posters, invited speakers and demonstrations. The official
language is French. English presentations and papers are accepted for
non-French-speaking authors.

Two communication formats are proposed: long papers (from 12 to 14 pages)
and short papers (from 6 to 8 pages).

Authors are invited to submit two types of communications:
1) original research work,
2) position paper on the current state of the research work.

There will also be two presentation formats: Oral for long papers and
