TENTH WORKSHOP ON THE SEMANTICS AND PRAGMATICS OF DIALOGUE (SEMDIAL)
Potsdam (Germany)
September 11-13 2006
brandial06 will be the tenth in a series of workshops that aims to bring together researchers working on the semantics and pragmatics of dialogues in fields such as artificial intelligence, formal semantics and pragmatics, computational linguistics, philosophy, and psychology. The SemDial conferences are always stimulating and fun, and Potsdam/Berlin is a great place to visit.
INVITED SPEAKERS: To be announced.
We invite papers on all topics related to the semantics and pragmatics of dialogues, including, but not limited to:
- models of common ground/mutual belief in communication
- modelling agents' information states and how they get updated
- multi-agent models and turn-taking
- goals, intentions and commitments in communication
- semantic interpretation in dialogues
- reference in dialogues
- ellipsis resolution in dialogues
- dialogue and discourse structure
- interpretation of questions and answers
- nonlinguistic interaction in communication
- natural language understanding and reasoning in spoken dialogue systems
- multimodal dialogue systems
- dialogue management in practical implementations
- categorisation of dialogue moves or speech acts in corpora
- designing and evaluating dialogue systems
For the first time, we will have a special session (one afternoon), on 'Visual Attention and References to the Visual Situation' separately reviewed (committee TBA) and chaired by Massimo Poesio. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): linguistic and philosophical studies of deixis; eye-tracking studies of reference resolution in situated language use; and computational models of deictic references and reference interpretation. As always, especially encouraged are interdisciplinary submissions, e.g., providing a sound theoretical analysis based on solid empirical evidence.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Authors should submit an 'anonymous' paper of at most 8 single-column pages (for talks with a duration of 25' plus 10' discussion) via the web-site (please indicate if you are submitting for the special session). For the accepted talks, a LaTeX style will be made available for the preparation of the final version.

Seattle, WA -- The 34th meeting of the North American Conference on Afroasiatic Linguistics (NACAL 34) will be held in Seattle, Washington, USA, March 17-19, 2006 (Friday-Sunday).
Papers on linguistic topics relevant to the languages of the Afroasiatic phylum (Chadic, Berber, Cushitic, Omotic, Egyptian, Semitic) are requested. While all topics relating to aspects of Afroasiatic languages will be considered, including phonology, grammar, syntax, synchrony, diachrony, sociolinguistics, and epigraphy, the following topics are particularly encouraged:
- Subordinate Clauses
- Internal Reconstruction
- Deictic Markers and Deixis
These topics should be considered as general guidelines and are not intended to be exclusive. No original paper will be rejected on account of its subject, so long as it relates to the languages of the Afroasiatic phylum and it meets the standards established by previous conferences.
