- The first Workshop on "Extra-propositional aspects of meaning in computational linguistics" (ExProM 2012) was held in conjunction with ACL 2012, in Jeju, Republic of Korea, on July 13, 2012. It was kindly sponsored by the PASCAL2 network). We also set up a
website with information on resources, workshops etc. dealing with extra-propositional aspects of meaning in NLP:

Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities), was co-located with EACL 2012 in Avignon, France on April 24, 2012.
Selected papers from the previous LaTeCH workshops were recently published by Springer in the "Theory and Applications of Natural Language Processing" series.
