Preface
EsTAL – Espa˜ na for Natural Language Processing – continued on from the three previous conferences: FracTAL, held at the Universit´e de Franch-Comt´e, Besan¸con (France) in December 1997, VexTAL, held at Venice International University, C´ a Foscari (Italy), in November 1999, and PorTAL, held at the Universidade do Algarve, Faro (Portugal), in June 2002. The main goals of these conferences have been: (i) to bring together the international NLP community; (ii) to strengthen the position of local NLP research in the international NLP community; and (iii) to provide a forum for discussion of new research and applications. EsTAL contributed to achieving these goals and increasing the already high international standing of these conferences, largely due to its Program Committee, composed of renowned researchers in the field of natural language processing and its applications. This clearly contributed to the significant number of papers submitted (72) by researchers from (18) different countries. The scope of the conference was structured around the following main topics: (i) computational linguistics research (spoken and written language analysis and generation; pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax and morphology; lexical resources; word sense disambiguation; lingui
