CLIN 2014 aims to have two special tracks:

* a lexicography track with presentations on the computational support
of dictionary making, e.g. word sense disambiguation, distributional
semantics, (web) data mining and semantic role labelling.
* an industry track with scientific presentations on topics such as R&D
challenges in industry, collaborations between industry and academia,
and experiences with "real-world" applications.

Submissions should include:

* Author(s) names, affiliation and contact details
* Presentation title
* An abstract of 250 words maximum, outlining their presentation
* Presentation type preference (oral presentation or poster)
