SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
MODELS AND ALGORITHMS FOR ANAPHORA RESOLUTION SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE
JOURNAL TAL
COORDINATORS. JOAN BUSQUETS AND DANIEL HARDT
Anaphora is a central topic in a variety of areas, including NLP,
Linguistics and Cognitive Science. Anaphoric relations are an
important source of information about textual cohesion among
discourse segments.
Furthermore, anaphoric relations interact in interesting ways
with a wide range of syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects
of reference and co-reference.
In recent years, a variety of computational approaches have
been proposed for problems of anaphora resolution; some of these
rely on corpus-based approaches, while others are based on
regularities and principles from the theoretical linguistics
literature. In this special issue, we seek contributions which
contribute further to this progress. Of particular interest are
approaches in which both corpus-based methods and theoretical
linguistics play an important role.
