- Call For Papers: Special Issue of the Journal _Computational
- Linguistics_ on Computational Phonology.
-
- Topics of Interest.
-
- Papers are invited on substantial and original research on all aspects
- of computational phonology, including (but not limited to) the
- following topics:
-
- Computational paradigms for phonological processing:
- - Finite-state devices
- - Connectionist networks
- - Object-oriented programming
- - Logic (e.g. Categorial Grammar, Feature Logics,
- Default Logics, Constraint Logic Programming)
- - Complexity results for phonological processing
-
- Formalised and implemented frameworks for:
- - Autosegmental phonology
- - Lexical phonology
- - Prosodic morphology
- - Government-based phonology
- - Comparative reconstruction
-
- Integration of computational phonology with computational
- grammar frameworks and with speech technology.
-
- Requirements.
-
- Papers should describe unique work, they should emphasize completed
- work rather than intended work and they should indicate clearly the
- state of completion of the reported results. Furthermore, papers
- should have a computational component, which may be an implementation
- with an application to a natural language, or a theoretical result
- (e.g. a computational complexity result).
-
- Project notes.
-
- Provision is also being made for the inclusion of short project notes.
- These should be no longer than 400 words in length (1 page in the
- journal format). These should include details about the nature,
- affiliation and scale of the project, its objectives, timescale and
- current state. Information about the availability of an
- implementation can also be included.
-
- Commentaries.
-
- Accepted papers will be made available for commentary. Commentaries
- of up to 400 words in length will be solicited from suitably qualified
- researchers.
-
- Publication.
-
- Accepted papers, project notes and commentaries will appear in a
- forthcoming special issue of the Computational Linguistics journal
- devoted to computational phonology.
-
- Submission.
-
- Authors should submit six copies of full length papers. The length of
- a paper depends on its content, but we suggest that manuscripts be
- limited to forty double-spaced pages. Submissions will be fully
- refereed, being read by at least two members of the editorial board
- and by two additional experts in the particular subject area within
- computational phonology. The title page should include the title, the
- name(s) of the author(s), complete addresses, a short (ten-line)
- summary, and a specification of the topic area. Submissions should
- be sent to either of the following addresses:

- CL Editor CL Special Issue Editor
- Computer Science Department University of Edinburgh
- University of Rochester Centre for Cognitive Science
- Rochester, NY 14627, U.S.A. Edinburgh, EH8 9LW, U.K.
-
- Schedule.
-
- The submission deadline is May 1, 1993. Authors will be notified
- of acceptance or rejection by September 1, 1993. Final manuscripts with
- revisions will be due on November 1, 1993.
