| "abstract": "In the foreword written on the occasion of PACLIC 14 held in 2000 at Waseda University, I wrote as follows: \"The past ten years was the time in which we have witnessed so many wars and so much strife among nations and races. One of the main causes of these tragedies was and still is language differences we employ.\" Regrettably, this is still true nowadays. Not a single day passes without the news of murder and killing among nations and races. Therefore, we cannot overemphasize the importance of language study since it is through language that we can help to create and achieve peace in the world. The PACLIC conferences, as is well known, have a long tradition of putting strong focus on the intersection of linguistics and computer science. This focus has a vital importance in the days when we experience a tremendous gap between several branches of language study and the research on computer science. While the PACLIC conferences have provided a sense of family-like community for the people who attend the conference, we have employed anonymous review process since PACLIC 10, sending out each paper to reviewers for evaluation. With the review results at hand, the Program Committee of this conference selected 18 Oral Presentations and 11 Interactive Presentations out of 53 submissions.", | |
