This work shop on Controlled Natural Language (CNL) has a br oad scope and embraces all approaches that are bas ed on natural language and apply restrictions on v ocabulary, grammar, and/or semantics. This include s (but is certainly not limited to) approaches tha t have been called simplified language, plain lang uage, formalized language, processable language, f ragments of language, phraseologies, conceptual au thoring, language generation, and guided natural l anguage interfaces.
\n\nSome CNLs are desi gned to improve communication among humans, especi ally for non-native speakers of the respective nat ural language. In other cases, the restrictions on the language are supposed to make it easier for c omputers to analyze such texts in order to improve computer-aided, semi-automatic, or automatic tran slations into other languages. A third group of CN L has the goal to enable reliable automated reason ing and formal knowledge representation from seemi ngly natural texts. All these types of CNL are cov ered by this workshop.
\n\nDue to Covid-19, the workshop is postponed to 2021!
\ nWe invite researchers to submit papers with novel contributions in the area of CN L. Papers should be formatted in two-column ACL st yle and should not exceed 8 pages. Submission shou ld be done via EasyChair here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cnl20 20. Accepted papers will be published in the A CL Anthology.
