Meeting Description:
Abstract deadline extension:
The abstract deadline for the fourth Discourse, Communication and the Enterprise
Conference has been extended until 14th February 2007. This biannual conference
series provides a fruitful interdisciplinary forum for researchers working on
discourse and communication in organisational contexts. We particularly welcome
contributions from Linguistics, Communication Studies, Business Administration,
Organisation Studies, Sociology, Social Psychology, Anthropology and Philosophy.
Abstracts are now invited on the following themes (although other areas are also
welcomed):
-Language and identities at work;
-Inter-cultural/cross-cultural communication;
-The role of new technologies in organisational communication;
-Spoken and written genres at work;
-Postcolonial discourses in organisations;
-Researching workplace communication.
Further details on these themes can be found at the conference website.

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics
Call Deadline: 09-Apr-2007
Meeting Description
This workshop aims to bring together grammar engineers from different frameworks
to compare research and methodologies, particularly around the themes of
evaluation, modularity, maintainability, relevance to theoretical and
computational linguistics, and evaluation for internal purposes.
Call for Papers
Grammar Engineering Across Frameworks
July 13-15, 2007
Stanford, California, USA
http://www-csli.stanford.edu/~thking/GEAF07.html
This workshop is part of the 2007 LSA Summer Institute.
Recent years have seen the development of techniques and resources to support
robust, deep grammatical analysis of natural language in real-world domains and
applications. The demands of these types of tasks have resulted in significant
advances in areas such as parser efficiency, hybrid statistical/symbolic
approaches to disambiguation, and the acquisition of large-scale lexicons. The
effective development, maintenance and enhancement of grammars is a central
issue in such efforts, and the size and complexity of realistic grammars forces
these processes to be tackled in ways that have much in common with software
engineering. This workshop aims to bring together grammar engineers from
different frameworks to compare their research and methodologies.
Panel Discussion on Evaluation
How can we develop evaluation methodologies and metrics which can capture the
added benefits of deep linguistic analysis?
Mary Dalrymple, Oxford University (moderator)
Roger Levy, University of California, San Diego
Stephan Oepen, University of Oslo
Martha Palmer, University of Colorado, Boulder
Paper Topics
The workshop is soliciting submissions for papers on the following themes
1. Evaluation: Proposals concerning evaluation methodologies and metrics which
can capture the added benefits of deep linguistic analysis; evaluation
techniques which can compare grammars across varieties/languages
2. Modularity: Reflections on which aspects of linguistic structure can most
easily be separated out from each other, why and how the analyses of separate
linguistic phenomena are interconnected/interdependent, and the role of
frameworks on promoting or inhibiting modularity
3. Maintainability: Techniques for improving long-term and multideveloper
maintainability of grammars; impacts of considerations of maintainability on
choices of linguistic analysis
4. Relevance to theoretical and computational linguistics: Reflections on how
to present grammar engineering work to other research communities.
5. Regression testing: Evaluation for internal purposes; methodologies and
techniques for test suite construction, role of test suites in day-to-day
progress on grammars
