We are pleased to present the papers accepted for presentation at the Student Research Workshop of the 48th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics held in Uppsala, Sweden, July 11-16, 2010. The Student Research Workshop, an established tradition at the annual meetings of ACL, offers students the opportunity to present their work in a setting embedded in the main conference and features ACL's efforts to invest in young researchers who will be a part of the research community in Computational Linguistics, Natural Language Processing and related fields in the near future. The workshop aimed at enabling students to exchange ideas with other researchers and experts and to receive useful feedback and directions for future research in an early stage of their work.
