Full Title: Research on Language and Computation 


Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 01-Apr-2009 

Research on Language and Computation is Being Re-Launched.

The past twenty-five years has witnessed a massive expansion of work in
computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP).  Despite
the existence of a large variety of high level conferences devoted to the
full range of research in the field, there is still a dearth of
international journals in our area. Particularly acute is the need for a
published forum that seeks to develop the connection between the rich
results emerging in applied and empirical NLP on one hand, and the
theoretical dimensions of computational linguistics on the other. As a step
toward meeting this need we are pleased to announce a re-organization and
relaunch of the journal Research on Language and Computation, published by
Springer.  The new editors are

Editors-in-chief:

Dov M. Gabbay
Dept. of Computer Science, King's College, London, UK

Shalom Lappin
Dept. of Philosophy, King's College, London, UK

Associate Editors:

Walter Daelemans, University of Antwerp, Belgium 
(Empirical approaches to NLP and Applications);

Andrew Kehler, UCSD, USA 
Dialogue and Discourse);

Yoad Winter, The Technion, Haifa, Israel 
(Formal and Computational Semantics);

Shuly Wintner, University of Haifa, Israel 
(Grammar Formalisms)

Our new mission statement is as follows:

Research on Language and Computation is an independent journal devoted to
the publication of high quality, leading edge research papers in
computational linguistics and natural language processing. The journal will
publish work that deals with interesting theoretical dimensions of research
on formal, empirical, and application questions. We welcome submissions in
syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology, dialogue and discourse, theories
of grammar, machine learning and computational learning theory applied to
natural language, mathematical and complexity properties of natural
language systems, and the implementation of procedures for natural language
analysis, generation, and translation. In addition to full articles, the
journal publishes shorter notes and book reviews.

We are focusing on individual papers rather than special issues.

Springer has provided an online editorial management system for processing
submissions. Papers can now be submitted through this system at 

http://rolc.edmgr.com
