SALPAT: Call for Papers

South Asia Language Pedagogy and Technology

(http://salpat.uchicago.edu) is currently accepting online submissions and proposals for its second issue:

Interdisciplinary Approaches to Language Technology

Edited by Sean Pue (salpat@uchicago.edu) and Steven Thorne

Language and technology intersect in a number of academic disciplines. This journal issue will explore ways of adapting existing language technologies for use in language pedagogy. We invite submissions from fields such as area studies, cognitive psychology, comparative literature, computational linguistics, digital humanities, and second language acquisition studies. Topics may include, but are not limited, to the following:

* Computer-assisted learning
* Computational lexicography
* Corpora acquisition and interfaces
* Digital reading
* Distance learning
* Role of the teacher in technology-enhanced language education
* Textual encoding for language pedagogy

Collaborative interdisciplinary research is encouraged, especially between experts in South Asian language and specialists in other disciplines and technologies. Technology and literature reviews are also welcome.
