SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

MODELS AND ALGORITHMS FOR ANAPHORA RESOLUTION SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL TAL,
COORDINATORS: JOAN BUSQUETS AND DANIEL HARDT

Anaphora is a central topic in a variety of areas, including NLP,
Linguistics and Cognitive Science. Anaphoric relations are an important
source of information about textual cohesion among discourse segments. 
Furthermore, anaphoric relations interact in interesting ways with a wide
range of syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of reference  and
co-reference.

In recent years, a variety of computational approaches have been proposed
for problems of anaphora resolution; some of these rely on corpus-based
approaches, while others are based on regularities and principles from the
theoretical linguistics literature. In this special issue, we seek
contributions which contribute further to this progress. Of particular
interest are approaches in which both corpus-based methods and theoretical
linguistics play an important role.

LIST OF TOPICS
1. Pronominal anaphora
2. Ellipsis
3. Zero Anaphora
4. Propositional anaphora
5. Associative anaphora
6. Constraints common to different types of anaphora 
7. Anaphora and discourse structure
8. Anaphora and information packaging
