SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE TAL JOURNAL

Deadline for submission: 27 February 2011

GUEST EDITORS:

(ATILF, CNRS & Nancy-Université)

CALL FOR PAPERS:
Computational morphology has become over the years one of the 
Computational Linguistics subfields, with an annual competition, Morpho 
Challenge and a recurring workshop, SigMorPhon. The objectives of the 
Morpho Challenge evaluation campaigns are to compare the results and 
algorithms of various morphological systems on a task of morpheme 
segmentation and analysis. The competition  involves five languages : 
English, German, Finnish, Turkish and Arabic. The researches presented at 
the SigMorPhon workshops deal on the whole with phonology and 
morphology.

Besides these objectives, systems centered on morphology produce other 
information, of a linguistic nature, in the course of the processes they 
perform.  And these results are particularly relevant to the special issue we 
propose. The issue aims at exploring the situation of morphology with respect 
to its established interfaces such as:

phonology,
syntax,
semantics,
lexicon,

but also its connections with cognitive processes and language acquisition.

Therefore, submitted papers should not be limited to the presentation of 
results of competitions. Rather, the themes of this issue include all studies 
dealing computationally with any complex matter related to derivation or 
compounding. Original models of inflectional morphology are also welcome. 
The studies can be concerned with the morphology of the general language, 
but also with that of specialty domains languages. Studies may have to do 
with French as well as with any other language in the world; the described 
systems may be monolingual or multilingual.

Papers on specific applications in NLP and linguistics are also welcome, 
including:

machine translation
information retrieval
terminology
language typology
dialectology
evolution of languages and phylogenetics

All approaches are welcome, including rule-based methods, analogy-based 
ones, or mixed approaches. They can involve unsupervised, semi-supervised 
or supervised machine learning.

PRACTICAL ISSUES:
Authors intending to submit a paper are encouraged to contact the guest 
editors of the issue.
