Second Call for Papers:

PACLIC Steering Committee is pleased to announce that The
Logico-Linguistic Society of Japan and the Center for the Advancement
of Higher Education, Tohoku University will host PACLIC 24 at Tohoku
University in Sendai, November 5th (Friday) through 7th (Sunday),
2010.  PACLIC 24, organized under the auspices of PACLIC Steering
Committee, will be the latest installment of our long standing
collaborative efforts among theoretical and computational linguists in
the Pacific-Asia region for providing an opportunity to share their
findings and interests in the formal and empirical study of languages.

Paper submissions of original and unpublished research are invited on
all aspects of both theoretical and computational linguistics. Topics
include but are not limited to: morphology, phonology, syntax,
semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, typology, corpus
linguistics, formal grammar theory, language acquisition and language
learning, human and machine language processing, language resources
and language technology and possible applications of those research
areas. Papers exemplifying synergy of multi-disciplinary approaches on
the construction of language resources and system development that
would assist language learning are particularly encouraged. 

Invited Speakers:
Stanley Peters (Stanford University)
Julia Hockenmaier (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)

This year, we highlight Student Session, in which each student speaker
will make a short oral presentation. The speakers also give poster
presentations to explain the details of the research. The focus of the
session is placed more on uniqueness, innovativeness, and
interdisciplinarity than on completeness of the research. Bursaries
covering partial travel expenses are available for excellent
speakers. The best speaker of the session will be awarded a prize at
the end of the conference. A submission to Student Session must be
specified by choosing the submission category 'Student Session'.

Paper Submission:

Submissions should describe substantial, original, and unpublished
work. Papers should be written in readable and plain English and may
not exceed ten (10) A4 size pages, including references. The style files 
are available at the conference web site.

The deadline for paper submissions is 23:59 June 14th, 2010 JST
(GMT+9). Submissions should be made via Easychair at: 

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=paclic24

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings
volume, which will subsequently be digitally archived at Waseda
University Library Institutional Repository and also sent to ISI for
indexing. PACLIC conference proceedings are indexed in the ISI Web of
Science since 2002 and authors are encouraged to cite previous PACLIC
papers in their work. See PACLIC Steering Committee web site
