4th Workshop on Statistical Parsing of Morphologically Rich Languages 
Short Title: SPMRL 2013 

Date: 18-Oct-2013 - 18-Oct-2013 
Location: Seattle, WA, USA 
Contact: Yuval Marton 
Contact Email: yuvalmarton at gmail.com 
Meeting URL: http://www.spmrl.org/tag/spmrl2013.html 

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Morphology; Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

The SPMRL series of workshop provides a forum for research in parsing
morphologically-rich languages, with the goal of identifying cross-cutting
issues in the annotation and parsing methodology for such languages, which
typically have more flexible word order and/or higher word-form variation than
English.
