This volume presents the proceedings of the 22nd International Conference ontheComputerProcessingofOrientalLanguages(ICCPOL2009)heldinHong Kong, March 26-27, 2009.

We received 63 submissions and all the papers went through a blind review process by members of the Program Committee.

After careful discussion, 25 of them were selected for oral presentation and 15 for poster presentation.

The accepted papers covered a variety of topics in natural language processing and its applications, including word segmentation, phrase and term extraction, chunking and parsing, semantic labelling, opinion mining, ontology construction, machine translation, information extraction, document summarization and so on.

On behalf of the Program Committee, we would like to thank all authors of submitted papers for their support.

We wish to extend our appreciation to the Program Committee members and additional external reviewers for their tremendous e?ort and excellent reviews.
