****************************************
* 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
----------------------
- original, leading and cutting-edge research (the monograph could be 
based on an outstanding PhD thesis)
- surveys of the state of the art in specific NLP tasks or applications

----------------------
COLLECTIONS
----------------------
- books focusing on a particular NLP area (e.g. emerging from 
successful NLP workshops or as a result of editors’ calls for papers)
- 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 "Reading In NLP")

-------------------------
COURSE BOOKS
-------------------------
- general NLP course books
- books on a particular key area of NLP (e.g. Speech Processing, 
Computational Syntax/Parsing)



Authors are encouraged to append supplementary materials such as 
demonstration programs, NLP software, corpora and so on if applicable, 
and to indicate websites and computational language resources 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.

Interested authors should submit proposals by email (plain text or pdf 
files) to the series editor: Prof. Dr. Ruslan Mitkov (Email R.
Mitkov at wlv.ac.uk) with a copy to Emma Franklin (emma.franklin at wlv.ac.uk
), the series editorial assistant.

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.
