We employ languages to communicate among ourselves, to instruct machines, and to enable machines to communicate with one another. Although these languages differ in form and purpose, they are grounded in common principles of structure, meaning, and interpretation. SLATE is devoted to the study of these different perspectives and their relationships: from human discourse, to programming languages, to the protocols and data formats that connect machines across the world. Being languages such a broad subject, SLATE is organized in three main tracks:

1. HHL Track: Human-Human Languages
   

   HHL is a forum dedicated to the discussion of research projects and ideas involving natural language processing and their industrial application.

2. HCL Track: Human-Computer Languages
   

   HCL is a forum where researchers, developers, educators exchange ideas and information on the latest academic or industrial work on language design, processing, assessment and applications.

3. CCL Track: Computer-Computer Languages
   

   The CCL track main goal is to provide a broad space for discussion about mark-up and interchange formats, their usage and associated technologies.
