The Society for Computation in Linguistics (SCiL) is devoted to facilitating and promoting research on computational and mathematical approaches in Linguistics. SCiL aims to provide a central forum for exchange of ideas and dissemination of original research results on computational approaches in any area of linguistics. In addition to providing a forum for researchers already working in these areas, SCiL hosts regular meetings (the first of which was co-located with LSA 2018 in Salt Lake City, Utah) that feature high-quality research presentations and peer-reviewed proceedings published with the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) Anthology as well as in our own standalone open access publication, the Proceedings of the Society for Computation in Linguistics.

This journal has moved to our new publishing platform: https://openpublishing.library.umass.edu/. All issues can be found here: https://openpublishing.library.umass.edu/scil.

Current Volume: Volume 6 (2023)
