</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The field of computational natural language learning is in need of a renewed mission. In two parentfieldsdominatedbygoodengineering useofmachine learning in language processing, and interesting developments in computational language learning respectively, our field should focus moreon theory. Moreresearchshouldaddressthequestionwhat we can learn about language from comparative machine learning experiments, and address or at least acknowledge methodological problems.</Paragraph>
