The GDR S�mantique et Mod�lisation (CNRS) and the Ecole Normale

The conference will be held in Lyon (France) on the site of the

development of corpus-based research in semantics and related fields,
proposals articulating the use of corpora and representational
problems in semantics and pragmatics are particularly welcome.
