This volume contains the papers presented at GoTAL 2008, the 6th International Conference on Natural Language Processing, held on August 25–27, 2008, at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. GoTAL was the sixth conference in the TAL series, preceded by FracTAL 1997 (Universit´e de Franche-Comt´e, Besan¸con, France), VexTAL 1999 (Universit` a Ca’ Foscari di Venezia, Venice, Italy), PorTAL 2002 (Universidade do Algarve, Faro, Portugal), EsTAL 2004 (Universitat d’Alacant, Alicante, Spain), and FinTAL 2006 (University of Turku, Turku, Finland).
