Natural Language Processing (John Benjamins' book series)
CALL FOR BOOK PROPOSALS
John Benjamins' Natural Language Processing Book Series invites new book
proposals to respond to the growing demand for Natural Language
processing (NLP) literature. Three general types of books are considered
for publication:
_Monographs_ - featuring (i) original leading cutting-edge research (the
monograph could be based on an outstanding PhD thesis), or (ii) surveys
of the state-of-the art of specific NLP tasks or applications.
_Collections_ - (i) books focusing on a particular NLP area (e.g.
emerging from successful NLP workshops or as a result of editors' calls
for papers) or (ii) books which include papers covering a wide range of
topics (e.g. emerging from competitive NLP conferences or as a result of
proposals for books of the type "Readings in NLP").
_Course books_ - (i) general NLP course books or (ii) course books on a
particular key area of NLP (e.g. Speech Processing, Computational
Syntax/Parsing).
Authors will be encouraged to append supplementary materials such as
demonstration programs, NLP software, corpora etc. and to indicate
websites, computational language resources etc. where appropriate.
This call invites proposals from potential authors of the types of books
described above. Proposals on any topic related to Natural Language
Processing are welcome.
Topics
The scope of the series is comprehensive ranging from fundamental
Computational Linguistics topics (Computational Syntax, Computational
Semantics etc.) through NLP methods (statistical methods, Machine
Learning, Deep Learning) to NLP applications (machine translation,
information extraction, information retrieval, question answering
etc.). The series covers both written language and speech; it welcomes
works covering (but not limited to) areas such as: phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse, pragmatics, dialogue, text
understanding and generation, machine translation, machine-aided
translation, translation aids and tools, corpus-based language
processing; written and spoken natural language interfaces, knowledge
acquisition, information extraction, text summarisation, text
classification, computer-aided language learning, language resources.
Particularly welcome are books describing the development and use of
latest Deep Learning techniques. Editor/Advisory board
The new series' editor is Ruslan Mitkov (University of Wolverhampton)
and the advisory board of the series includes:
- Eduardo Blanco (University of North Texas)
- Gloria Corpas (University of Malaga)
- Robert Dale (Macquarie University)

SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS
Interested authors should submit proposals by email (plain text or pdf
files) to the series Editor-in-Chief:
Prof Dr Ruslan Mitkov
Email [email protected]
with a copy to the editorial assistants Ms Rocío Caro Quintana
([email protected]), Ms Amal Haddad Haddad ([email protected]) and Ms
Dayana Abuin Rios ([email protected]).
The proposals should include an outline of the book (1-2 pages), a
preliminary table of contents, the target readership, related
publications, how the book will differ from other similar books in the
area (if applicable), time-scale and information about the prospective
author (relevant experience in the field, publications etc.).
Each proposal will be reviewed by members of the advisory board or
additional reviewers.
