Parasession on LT in WOCAL 2009

There was discussion with the organisers of WOCAL 2006 in Addis Aababa that in the next WOCAL conference, to be held in Cologne in 2009, there will be a separate session on Language Technology. The organisers will decide how it will be arranged. The idea of a separate pre- or post-conference workshop, common in many conferences, did not get much support. So it will be arranged very likely during the main conference.

This is just preliminary information to those, who might be interested in coming to WOCAL with a paper in LT.

Language technology arose a lot of interest among the participants of WOCAL 2006, and LT has started to get a prominent place in African linguistics.

More information will be found here in due time.
