*The 27th Pacific Asia Conference on Language, Information, and Computation (PACLIC 27)*

November 22-24, 2013 National Chengchi University, Taiwan http://paclic27.nccu.edu.tw paclic27.nccu@gmail.com

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 the Association for Computational Linguistics and Chinese Language Processing (ACLCLP). Topics include but are not limited to (in alphabetical order):

Language Studies * Corpus linguistics * Discourse analysis * Language acquisition * Language learning * Language, mind, and culture * Language theory * Morphology * Phonology * Pragmatics/Sociolinguistics * Semantics * Spoken language processing * Syntax * Typology

Information Processing and Computational Applications * Cognitive modeling of language * Dialogue and interactive systems * Digital humanities * Information retrieval/extraction * Language resources * Machine learning/Data mining * Machine translation * Multi-linguality in NLP * NLP applications * Sentiment analysis and opinion mining * Social media * Text classification/summarization * Word segmentation

Invited Speakers ================ * Alec Marantz, New York University, USA * Junichi Tsujii, Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing * Wen-Lian Hsu, Academia Sinica, Taiwan * Yukio Tono, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Japan * Stefan Th. Gries, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Submission ========== Submissions should describe substantial, original, and unpublished work written in readable and plain English and may not exceed 10 pages, including references. Accepted papers will be presented in either regular sessions or poster sessions as determined by the program committee.
