Full Title: Linguistic Issues in Language Technology (LiLT) 


Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Pragmatics; Semantics 

Call Deadline: 15-Mar-2015 

LiLT is inviting submissions for a special issue on Modality in Natural
Language Understanding.

Our main interest is in contributions that show how modal expressions
contribute to inferences about, among other things, what is actual, likely or
unlikely, what an agent believes or prefers, or what the obligations in a
given situation are.

We envision three major parts for the volume, corresponding to the broad
categories below:
- modality annotation
- approaches to linguistic modality that use computational tools to explore
data and/or verify hypotheses or that lay the basis for computational
approaches
- computational approaches, e.g. computational treatments of modal logics, NLU
systems that incorporate a substantial treatment of modality, 

If you are interested in contributing, please, submit a one page abstract
before March 15, 2015. The aim of the abstracts is mainly to judge whether
your intended contribution falls within the scope of the volume. 

The full papers, which will undergo a regular review process, will be expected
by August 1, 2015. The volume is scheduled to appear in the first half of
2016.

Editorial Committee for the volume: Dick Crouch, Cleo Condoravdi, Anette
Frank, Dan Lassiter, Roser Morante, Valeria de Paiva, Caroline Sporleder, Leon
Van Der Torre, and Annie Zaenen
