Further to the successful and competitive 1st and 2nd conferences on
Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing (selected papers from
which were published by John Benjamins as CILT vol.136 and CILT
vol.189), we are pleased to announce the third RANLP conference to be
held this year.
The conference will take the form of addresses from invited keynote
speakers plus individual papers. All papers accepted and presented will
be available as a volume of proceedings at the conference. There will
also be an exhibition area and an opportunity to hold poster sessions.

Language Processing. We encourage the representation of a broad range
of areas including but not limited to: pragmatics, discourse,
semantics, syntax, and the lexicon; phonetics, phonology, and
morphology; text understanding and generation; multilingual NLP;
machine translation, machine-aided translation, translation aids and
tools; corpus-based language processing; POS tagging; parsing;
electronic dictionaries; knowledge acquisition; terminology; word-sense
disambiguation; anaphora resolution; information retrieval; information
extraction; text summarisation; term recognition; text categorisation;
question- answering; dialogue systems; speech processing;
computer-aided language learning; language resources; evaluation; and
theoretical and application-oriented papers related to NLP of every
kind.
