CALL FOR PAPERS

      Special Issue of Journal of Computational Linguistics
      and Chinese Language Processing

              "Word Formation and Chinese Language Processing"

      Guest Editor: Richard Sproat, AT&T Labs -- Research

 ==========================================================================
Contributions are invited for a special issue of the Journal of
Computational Linguistics and Chinese Processing on the topic of word
formation and Chinese Language processing. Areas of interest include,
but are not limited to:

          - Word formation in models of Chinese word segmentation and
            named entity extraction. Areas of interest include automatic
            detection of:

                    - morphologically productive constructions such as
                      compounds
                    - abbreviations (suoxie)
                    - personal names
                    - proper names of individuals, companies
                    - foreign words in transliteration.
                    - morphologically-based variation among human
                      segmenters and its relevance for Chinese segmentation
                      standards.

          - Computational or statistical work that lends insights on
            linguistic questions, such as morphological productivity or the
            formation of abbreviations.

          - Computational perspectives on the historical development of
            morphological complexity in Chinese.

The tentative plan is to publish this special issue as volume 8, issue
2, August 2003.
