English will be the primary language of this journal for its international readership.A 600-word extended abstract in English is required for all Chinese contributions. Manuscript, submitten must be previously unpublished and not be under consideration elsewhere. Submission are welcomed in the following three categories: Papers:Submissions in this category should report significant new research results in computational linguistics or new system implementation involving significant theoretical and/or technological innovation. There is no strict length limitation on this category but it is suggested that manuscripts not exceed 40 double-spaced A4 (or letter-size) pages. Survey Papers:Submissions in this category are either invited by the editorial board or voluntary.They should offer a critical overview of either 1) the state of arts of a certain sub-field of computational linguistics or Chinese language processing,or 2) of existing systems and/or technologies for a particular natural language application. Page limitation of this category is the same as above. Book/Thesis Review:Submissions in this category should not exceed one journal page; i.e. 600 English words/ Chinese characters inclusive of titles. The theses reviewed must be completed within one year before the time of submission. An extended abstract can also be submitted by the author if is endorsed by an editorial board member. All contributions will be anonymously reviewed by at least two reviewers, with exception of the reviews, which will be reviewed by only one reviewer. All manuscripts must be submitted in triplicate to: Computational Linguistics and Chinese Language Processing Professor Keh-jiann Chen Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica Nankang, Taipei, Taiwan 115 No page charges are levied on authors or their institutions. Final Manuscripts in Electronic Form:If a manuscript is accepted for publication, the author will be asked to supply an electronic form (RTF or ASCII text file) of the manuscript via e-mail or disk, together with two matching hard copies. Copyright:It is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission from both author and publisher to reproduce material which has appeared in another publication.Copies of this permission must also be enclosed with the manuscript. It is the policy of the ROCLING society to own the copyright to the technical contributions it publishes, and to facilitate the appropriate reuse of this material. A signed copy of the ROCLING copyright form, which transfers copyright from the authors(or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to the ROCLING society,will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. Style for manuscripts:The paper should conform to the following instructions. 1.Typescript:manuscript should be typed doubled-spaced on standard A4 (or letter-size) white paper using size 11 points or larger. 2.Title and Author:The first page of the manuscript should consist of the title, the authors' names and institutional affiliations, the abstract, and the corresponding author's address, telephone and fax number, and e-mail address. The title of the paper should use normal capitalization. Capitalize only the first words and such other words as the orthography of the language requires to begin with a capital letter.The author's name should appear below the title. 3.Abstracts and keywords:An informative abstract of not more than 250 words together with 4 to 6 keywords is required. The abstract should not only indicate the scope of the paper but should also summarize the author's conclusions. 4.Headings:Headings for sections should be numbered in Arabic numerals (i.e. 1., 2....) and start from the left-hand margin.Headings for subsections should be numbered in Arabic numerals (i.ed 1-1, 1-2....). 5.Footnotes:The footnote reference number should be kept to a minimum and indicated in the text with superscript numbers. Footnotes may appear at the end of manuscript. 6.Equations and Mathematical Formulas:All equations and mathematical formulas should be typewritten or written clearly in ink.Equations should be numbered serially on the right-hand side by Arabic numerals in parentheses. 7.References:In each of references,please make sure that the following given (1) names of all the authors (2) title of the paper (3) full title of the journal (4) volume number and year of publication (5) first and last page number Example: Dempster,A.P., N.M. Laird and D.B. Rubin,"Maximum Likelihood from Incomplete Data via the EM Algorithm", Journal of the Roy Statistical Society, 39(B) 1977, pp. 1-38. 1-38.
