Computational Linguistics and Chinese Language Processing invites submission of original research papers in the area of computational linguistics and Chinese speech and language processing. All papers must be written in English. Manuscripts submitted must be previously unpublished and cannot be under consideration elsewhere. Submissions should report significant new research results in computational linguistics, Chinese speech and language processing or new system implementation involving significant theoretical and/or technological innovation. The accepted papers are divided into the categories of regular papers and short papers. There is no strict length limitation on the regular papers but it is suggested that manuscripts not exceed 40 double-spaced A4 pages. Short papers are restricted to no more than 20 double-spaced A4 pages. All contributions will be anonymously reviewed by at least two reviewers.

Copyright: It is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission from both author and publisher to reproduce material which has appeared in another publication. Copies of this permission must also be enclosed with the manuscript. It is the policy of the CLCLP society to own the copyright to all its publications in order to facilitate the appropriate reuse and sharing of their academic content. A signed copy of the CLCLP copyright form, which transfers copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to the CLCLP society, will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication.

Style for Manuscripts: The paper should conform to the following instructions:

  1. Typescript: Manuscript should be typed double-spaced on standard A4 (or letter-size) white paper using size of 11 points or larger.

  2. Title and Author: The first page of the manuscript should consist of the title, the authors' names and institutional affiliations, the abstract, and the corresponding author's address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. The title of the paper should use normal capitalization. Capitalize only the first words and such other words as the orthography of the language requires beginning with a capital letter. The author's name should appear below the title.

  3. Abstracts and Keywords: An informative abstract of not more than 250 words, together with 4 to 6 keywords is required. The abstract should not only indicate the scope of the paper but should also summarize the author's conclusions.

  4. Headings: Headings for sections should be numbered in Arabic numerals (i.e. 1.,2....) and start form the left- hand margin. Headings for subsections should also be numbered in Arabic numerals (i.e. 1-1,1-2...).

  5. Footnotes: The footnote reference number should be kept to a minimum and indicated in the text with superscript numbers. Footnotes may appear at the end of manuscript.

  6. Equations and Mathematical Formulas: All equations and mathematical formulas should be typewritten or written clearly in ink. Equations should be numbered serially on the right-hand side by Arabic numerals in parentheses.

  7. References: In each of the References, please make sure that the followings are given:

    1. names of all the authors
    2. title of the paper
    3. full title of the journal
    4. volume number and year of publication
    5. first and last page numbers
Example: Dempster, A. P., N. M. Laird and D. B. Rubin, "Maximum Likelihood from Incomplete Data via the EM Algorithm," Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, 39 (B) 1977, pp. 1-38.

No page charges are levied on authors or their institutions.

Final Manuscripts in Electronic Form: If a manuscript is accepted for publication, the author will be asked to supply an electronic form (RTF or ASCII text file) of the manuscript via e-mail or on disk.

Electronic submissions: Please e-mail MS-word, PDF, or Postscript files to: clp@hp.iis.sinica.edu.tw

Hard copy submissions: Four copies of the manuscript should be submitted to:
