Annual meetings of the Pacific Asia Conference on Language, Information and Computation (PACLIC) have provided places where scholars in theoretical and computational linguistics mainly from the Pacific Asia region get together to share new ideas about language, information and computation.

The 22nd PACLIC, organized under the auspices of the PACLIC Steering Committee, endorsed and supported by the Asian Federation of Natural Language Processing (AFNLP), and hosted by the De La Salle University-Manila, will be held at the University of the Philippines Visayas-Cebu College, in Cebu City, Philippines on November 20-22, 2008. Following the tradition of previous

PACLIC meetings in Hong Kong (2001), Jeju, Korea (2002), Singapore (2003), Tokyo, Japan (2004), Taipei (2005), Wuhan, China (2006), and Seoul, Korea (2007), PACLIC 22 emphasizes the integration of theoretical frameworks with applied fields, cognitive accounts for language processing, and computational modeling of language.

We invite prospective authors to submit original and unpublished papers on all aspects of theoretical and computational linguistics. Possible topics include but are not limited to: (1) language, (2) information, and (3) computation. Priority will be given to papers that are interdisciplinary and cover a wide range of languages in Asia. Papers should be submitted online on or before July 14, 2008, using the attached template or retrieve the template at ccs.dlsu.edu.ph/nlp-team/paclic22.
