Computational linguistics is an interdisciplinary field dealing with statistical and/or rule-based modeling of natural language from a computational perspective. The Journal, Internatational Journal of Computational Linguistics and Applications – IJCLA (ISSN 0976-0962) is an internationally peer-reviewed academic journal that covers all topics related to computational linguistics and text processing, i.e., whatever helps, will help eventually, or might help computers meaningfully deal with language data. It is a forum for exchange of opinions between scientists working in different areas of the growing field of computational linguistics (CL) and natural language processing (NLP). Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics, provided that the work is presented in computer-related or formal description aspects:
