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. =========================================================================== Instructions for Submission Papers should follow the style guidelines for the Journal of Computational Linguistics and Chinese Processing.
