Call for Papers
Deadline for paper submission: Monday 20 September, 2010
Workshop location: Universitat de Barcelona
Workshop Email : cba2010ub.edu
Description
The goal of the workshop is to discuss different corpus-based approaches to the
automatic processing of paraphrases and nominal structures. This workshop also
aims to evaluate to what extent the analysis of paraphrases and nominal
structures can improve the quality of NLP applications.
Finally, this workshop might constitute a platform for the exchange of resources
and tools derived from research projects. Althoughparaphrasing and
nominalization are established as independent research fields, there exists a
close connection between them: nominalizations can be understood as a kind of
paraphrase.
We believe there is a need to bring together linguists and computer scientists,
and we invite unpublished contributions related to issues in these fields with a
special emphasis on -though not limited to:
- Paraphrasing: scope and typology
- Methods for paraphrase extraction, recognition and generation
- Paraphrase corpora compilation
- Formalisms for paraphrase representation
- Multilingual paraphrasing
- Nominalization as a paraphrase subtype
- Nominalizations: analysis and classification
- Semantic Role Labelling for nominalization argument structure
- Recognition and interpretation of nominalizations
- Distribution of semantic selations among NPs, specially nominalized NPs
- Nominalizations in support verb constructions

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!
You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm
Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
