First Call for Papers
Topics:
We are particularly interested in work on the automatic detection,
classification, understanding, or generation of:
- neologisms;
- creative use of figurative language, including metaphor, metonymy,
personification, and idioms;
- new or unconventional syntactic constructions (e.g., 'May I serve who's next?');
- indirect speech acts (such as curses, insults, sarcasm, and irony), verbally
expressed humor, poetry, and fiction;
- other phenomena illustrating linguistic creativity (e.g., eggcorns such as
'once and a while' for 'once in a while'; new and emerging forms found in
computer-mediated communication).
We also welcome descriptions and discussions of:
- computational tools that support people in using language creatively (e.g.,
tools for computer-assisted creative writing, intelligent thesauri);
- computational and/or cognitive models of linguistic creativity;
- metrics and tools for evaluating the performance of creativity-aware systems;
- specific application scenarios of computational linguistic creativity;
Related topics, including corpora collection, elicitation, and annotation of
creative language usage, will also be considered, as long as their relevance to
automatic systems is clearly demonstrated.
Submission Information:
Submissions should describe original, unpublished work. Papers are limited to 8
pages. Please use the NAACL HLT 2010 style files, available here:
