Message 2: 4th International Workshop on Generative Approaches to the Lexicon
Date: 09-Nov-2006 From: Kyoko Kanzaki <kanzakinict.go.jp> Subject: 4th International Workshop on Generative Approaches to the Lexicon Full Title: 4th International Workshop on Generative Approaches to the Lexicon Short Title: GL2007 Date: 10-May-2007 - 11-May-2007 Location: Paris, France Contact Person: Pierrette Bouillon Meeting Email: < click here to access email > Web Site: http://www.issco.unige.ch/gl2007.html Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics Call Deadline: 01-Feb-2007 Meeting Description: 4th International Workshop on Generative Approaches to the Lexicon Second call for Papers GL2007 4th International Workshop on Generative Approaches to the Lexicon http://www.issco.unige.ch/gl2007/ Organizers: Pierrette Bouillon (ETI/TIM/ISSCO, University of Geneva, Switzerland) Laurence Danlos (Universite de Paris VII, Paris, France) Kyoko Kanzaki (National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, NICT, Japan) Date: May 10-11 2007 Location: Ministere de la Recherche, Paris, France Topic: The aim of GL workshops is to bring together diverse contributions in philosophy, linguistics, computer science and lexicography to explore the lexicon from the point of view of generativity. The discussions will be centered, but are not limited to, the emerging view of ''Generative Lexicon Theory'' (Pustejovsky). Topics include: - Philosophical foundations of a generative approach - Generative lexicon theory and representation of word meaning - Analysis of linguistic phenomena in a generative perspective - Frameworks for lexical semantics - Philosophical differences between frameworks - Critical perspectives and evaluation In this fourth workshop we would like to keep all the above perspectives, but put more of the focus on building on-line GL resources for NLP tasks, in particular: - Arguments and counter-arguments in favour of a GL resource - Acquiring lexical information: methodology, tools, resources - Maintaining and evaluating GL resources on systematic grounds - Scalability for different NLP tasks Papers can make reference to any semantic lexicons (Wordnet, Framenet, Meaning-text theory, etc.), but a link to Generative Lexicon theory is desirable (Pustejovsky, 1995). Key topics are: - How to build a Generative Lexicon? - How a Generative Lexicon can be extracted from existing resources or corpora? - How to connect qualia structures with other lexical information? - How to use qualia structures in NLP applications? The conference will be held over a period of two days. Both posters and presentations are foreseen and will be published in the proceedings. Invited speakers include Robin Cooper, Alain Polguere and James Pustejovsky. Submission procedure: Authors should submit an anonymous paper of at most 7 single-column pages (including references) using a 12' body font size together with a separate page specifying the author's name, affiliation, address, e-mail address, title and type of paper (normal presentation or poster). The minimum size is 3 pages for a poster paper and 5 pages for a normal paper. The papers should be submitted electronically (in postscript, rtf or pdf format) to both: kanzakinict.go.jp and pierrette.bouillonissco.unige.ch. Language: All papers must be submitted and presented in English. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the workshop. Important dates: Paper due: 1st of February 2007 Acceptance/rejection notice: End of February 2007 Final version due: April 15th, 2007 Conference: May 10-11, 2007 For any information, please contact: Pierrette Bouillon ETI/TIM/ISSCO 40, bvd du Pont-d'Arve CH-1211 Geneva 4 (Switzerland) email : Pierrette.Bouillonissco.unige.ch Tel: +41/22/705 86 79 Fax: +41/22/705 86 89 http://www.issco.unige.ch/gl2007.html Respond to list\|Read more issues\|LINGUIST home page\|Top of issue
