I would also like to mention the help we received from the external reviewers, Robert Ingria and David McDonald, who lent their expertise where needed. Finally, I would like to thank Fernando Pereira, for his time and effort in preparing the program announcement and proceedings, yet another task on top of his other ACL responsibilites, and Betty Walker, whose constant and continuing support has made the transition possible each year from meeting to meeting. Betty and Don's commitment to and faith in the field have been an inspiration to us all, and a mainstay of the community. I would like to dedicate these proceedings to the memory of Don Walker.
The Oxford handbook of computational linguistics
2003
This collection of invited papers covers a lot of ground in its nearly 800 pages, so any review of reasonable length will necessarily be selective. However, there are a number of features that make the book as a whole a comparatively easy and thoroughly rewarding read. Multiauthor compendia of this kind are often disjointed, with very little uniformity from chapter to chapter in terms of breadth, depth, and format. Such is not the case here. Breadth and depth of treatment are surprisingly consistent, with coherent formats that often include both a little history of the field and some thoughts about the future. The volume has a very logical structure in which the chapters flow and follow on from each other in an orderly fashion. There are also many crossreferences between chapters, which allow the authors to build upon the foundation of one another's work and eliminate redundancies.
Espindola & Kashyap (eds.). 2014. Proceedings of the 7th International Free Linguistics Conference
All papers included in this volume went through a two-stage single-blind review process (single blind in that sense that the reviewers knew the respective author but the author did not know who the reviewer was). First, each abstract submitted to FLC2013 was single-blind peer reviewed. The authors whose abstract was accepted were then invited to submit a full paper for consideration to be included in this volume. The full papers were then single-blind reviewed and the authors, on a positive recommendation by reviewer, were asked to revise the paper according to the reviewer's comments. The lists of the reviewers of full papers are given below.
The 54th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
The Association for Computational Linguistics, 2016
In my welcome to participants in this year's conference handbook, I especially welcomed those for which it was their first ACL. I expressed the hope that the conference fulfilled their expectations and remained in their memory as a great start. Trying to imagine the first experience of a present-day ACL, the magnitude of the whole event may be a bit overwhelming-our field is on an expanding trajectory, and even a selection of the best work fills a great number of parallel sessions over a number of days; plus, there are the workshops and tutorials to quench many topical thirsts. This ACL again promises to be a next peak in a progressive development. ACL Conferences are the product of many people working together, kindly offering their services to the community at large. ACL-2016 is no exception to this. I would like to thank each and every person who has volunteered their time to make the event possible. I am deeply impressed with the sense of community that organizing an ACL brings about.

The fourth volume of this specialized series has been dedicated to one of the fathers of quantitative linguistics in Germany. R. Köhler is the initiator of linguistic synergetics, elaborator of background theories, introducer of motifs, specialist for computers and informatics, founder of the Journal of Quantitative Linguistics, founder of the International Quantitative Linguistics Association, etc. It is not easy to enumerate all of his merits for this discipline. In intimate circles one calls him the "King of QL". It is not necessary to present his bibliography, it would take too many pages. The editors of the volume belong to three nations and the contributors to 13 different ones. There are linguists, mathematicians, physicists, information and computer scientists. The volume begins and ends with Altmann's humorous preface and a gag about retired professors (286-287). The other articles are serious. The volume begins with the last discovery of Köhler, namely "motifs", taken from musicology and representing today a quite usual linguistic unit (Altmann, G., On Köhlerian Motifs, 2-8). Liu, H. and Fang, Y. (Quantitative aspects of hierarchical motifs, 9-26) show that starting from the dependency grammar it is possible to define also hierarchical motifs. They apply the results to Czech, Chinese and English. Milička, J. (Key Length Motifs in Czech and Arabic Texts, 27-42) analyses length-motifs in Czech and Arabic and proposes a new type of scaling. Evidently, this new unit seems to be a good way to create a more abstract entity based on sequential and hierarchic data. Needless to say, motifs can be found also in any type of script. Thus the discovery of motifs seems to have the same scientific value as the discovery of phonemes many years ago. Language complexity is, as a matter of fact, a problem that can be described in many ways. First, the definitions of complexity may strongly differ; second, the relations between phenomena creating it may be conjectured differently; third, one may ask how many languages are necessary to give a satisfactory answer. G. Colomá in A Synergetic Regression Model of Language Complexity Trade-Offs (41-60) takes into account phonology, morphology, syntax and
