This is the first volume of the fifth year of the Italian Journal of Computational Linguistics (IJCoL). It is a miscellaneous volume collecting a first selection of research contributions inspired by young researchers which emerged as particularly promising at the CLiC-it 2018 Conference (Torino, 10-12 December 2018).
We leave the readers the pleasure to discover the wide range of issues touched by the papers, which reflect the contribution by the Italian community to open issues currently being explored within the international computational linguistics research.
