The Society for Computation in Linguistics  invites submissions to its
inaugural meeting, SCiL 2018, which will be co-located with LSA 2018
<http://www.linguisticsociety.org/event/lsa-2018-annual-meeting> as a sister
society
<http://www.linguisticsociety.org/news/2017/03/24/new-sister-society-meet-concurrently-lsa-beginning-2018>
in
Salt Lake City, Utah, January 4-7, 2018. SCiL 2018 will be held jointly
with a one-time workshop on “*Perceptrons and Syntactic Structures at Sixty*”
(PSS at 60) and the 2018 meeting of *Cognitive Modeling in Computational
Linguistics (CMCL)* <http://cmclorg.github.io/>.

We seek high-quality research on computational and mathematical approaches
in any area of linguistics. There will be two submission tracks: *papers
and abstracts*. Accepted papers and abstracts will be presented (either
orally or as posters) at the SCiL 2018 meeting. Papers will be published
prior to the conference in the Association for Computational Linguistics
(ACL) Anthology <http://aclanthology.info/>. Authors of accepted abstracts
will have the option to submit extended abstracts prior to the conference.
Both papers and extended abstracts will be published online in the
forthcoming open-access SCiL proceedings.

*Invited Speakers*

   - Jacob Andreas
   - Emily M. Bender
   - Sam Bowman
   - Chris Dyer
   - Jason Eisner
   - Robert Frank

*Important Dates*

   - *Submission Deadline (papers and abstracts)*: August 1, 2017
   - *Notification of Acceptance*: mid-September, 2017

Submissions

Papers (8pp) and abstracts (2pp) are due *August 1, 2017*. Links to the
submission site will be posted by July 1, 2017. Papers and abstracts
must be anonymous and prepared in PDF format according to the following
guidelines.
Papers

Paper submissions must describe original, completed, and unpublished work.
They are limited to 8 content pages (plus unlimited pages for references)
and should follow the two-column ACL format. Style templates are available
from the NAACL website:

   - http://naacl.org/naacl-pubs/

Accepted papers will be published in the ACL Anthology
<http://aclanthology.info/> prior to the conference, and will be presented
either as oral or poster presentations at SCiL 2018. Papers will also be
published online in the forthcoming open-access SCiL proceedings.
Abstracts

Abstract submissions must describe original and completed work. To
facilitate exchange of research ideas across disciplines, this track will
consider work that has been previously presented (and potentially
published) at venues with distinct scope and target audiences from SCiL.
Submissions describing previously presented/published work must indicate so
at submission time.

Abstract length is limited to a maximum of two single-spaced pages (US
Letter), figures and references included. Font should be 12-point Times or
Times New Roman throughout, and the document should be single-spaced, left
justified, with margins of exactly one inch on all sides. Title and section
headings (if used) should bold.

Accepted abstracts will be presented at SCiL 2018 as posters or oral
presentations. Authors of accepted abstracts will have the option to extend
abstracts up to 4 pages (extended abstracts). Abstracts and extended
abstracts will be published before the conference in the forthcoming
open-access SCiL Proceedings.
