The 27th Pacific Asia Conference on Language, Information, and Computation
(PACLIC 27) will be held at National Chengchi University on November 22-24,
2013. Following the long tradition of PACLIC conferences, PACLIC 27
emphasizes the synergy of language studies and computational analyses—from
theoretical frameworks to cognitive accounts, from information processing
to language understanding, and from computational modeling to multi-lingual
applications. PACLIC 27 is hosted by the Department of English, the
Graduate Institute of Linguistics, and the Department of Computer Science
at National Chengchi University, and co-hosted by the Institute of
Linguistics at Academia Sinica, the Linguistic Society of Taiwan (LST), and

Processing (ACLCLP).
