    Preface
    In the Iberian Peninsula, five official languages co-exist: Basque, Catalan,
    Galician, Portuguese and Spanish. Fostering multi-linguality and establishing
    strong links among the linguistic resources developed for each language of the
    region is essential. Additionally, a lack of published resources in some of these
    languages exists. Such lack propitiates a strong inter-relation between them
    and higher resourced languages, such as English and Spanish.

    In order to favour the intra-relation among the peninsular languages as well
    as the inter-relation between them and foreign languages, different purpose
    multilingual NLP tools need to be developed. Interesting topics to be
    researched include, among others, analysis of parallel and comparable corpora,
    development of multilingual resources, and language analysis in bilingual
    environments and within dialectal variations.

    With the aim of solving these tasks, statistical, linguistic and hybrid ap-
    proaches are proposed. Therefore, the workshop addresses researchers from
    different fields of natural language processing/computational linguistics: text
    mining, machine learning, pattern recognition, information retrieval and
    machine translation.

    The research in this proceedings includes work in all of the official languages of
    the Iberian Peninsula. Moreover, interactions with English are also included.
    Wikipedia has shown to be an interesting resource for different tasks and has
    been analysed or exploited in some contributions.

    Most of the regions of the Peninsula are represented by the authors of the
    contributions. The distribution is as follows: Basque Country (2 authors),
    Catalonia (7 authors), Galicia (4 authors), Portugal (2 authors) and Valencia
    (5 authors). Interestingly, those regions where Spanish is the only official
    language are not represented. It is worth noting that authors working beyond
    the Peninsula have also contributed to this workshop, including: Argentina (3
    authors), Finland (1 author), France (2 authors), Mexico (1 author), Singapore
    (1 author), and USA (6 authors).

    The ICL workshop has been organised as one of the activities of the VLC/-
    CAMPUS Microcluster on Multimodal Interaction in Intelligent Systems, EC
    WIQ-EI IRSES project (grant no. 269180) within the FP 7 Marie Curie People
    Framework; the FPU Grant AP2008-02185 from the Spanish Ministry of Ed-
    ucation; and MICINN Text-Enterprise 2.0 (TIN2009-13391-C04-03) and Text-
    Knowledge 2.0 (TIN2009-13391-C04-04) projects within the Plan I+D+i.
