We especially encourage abstract submissions from graduate students. The conference accepts papers of one page (font should not be smaller than 12 point) on any aspect of linguistics. The length of the presentation will be 20 minutes, plus 10 minutes for discussion and questions. Submit a copy of the abstracts via email attachment in the form of PDF or plain text, or by mail or fax. References must be included on a separate sheet of paper.

    ********Third Call for Papers GL2003***************

    2nd International Workshop on Generative Approaches to the Lexicon

    Organizers: Pierrette Bouillon (ISSCO/TIM, University of Geneva, Switzerland) Kyoko Kanzaki (Communications Research Laboratory, Japan)

    Date: May 15-17 2003

    Location: University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland

    Topic:

    The aim of the GL workshop is to bring together diverse contributions in philosophy, linguistics, computer science and lexicography to explore the lexicon from the point of view of generativity, in particular :

    - Philosophical Foundations of a Generative Approach - Representation of Word Meaning - Generative Lexicon Theory - Analysis of Linguistic Phenomena - Lexical Rules - Framework for Lexical Semantics - Critical Perspectives - Building Lexical Resources - Exploiting Lexical Resources in NLP Applications

    In this second workshop we would like to keep all the above perspectives, but put more of the focus on available on-line lexical resources in order to compare experience. The discussions will be centered, but not limited to, the following topics:

    - Building new resources - Acquiring lexical information - Maintaining resources - Representing lexical information (i.e. polysemy, collocation links, multiword expressions, predicate-argument structure) - Using lexical information in applications - Specialization and customization for specific applications - Links between different frameworks - Sharing lexical resources - Multilinguality in the lexicon - Standardization and evaluation

    Papers on on-line ressources 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 ressources or corpora? - How to connect qualia structures with other lexical information? - How lexical information is represented in different frameworks? - Philosophical differences between frameworks - Critical perspectives

    The conference will be held over a period of two and a half days. Long (45 min) and short (20 min) presentations are foreseen. Invited speakers include Nicoletta Calzolari (Istituto Di Linguistica Computazionale, Pisa), Christiane Fellbaum (Princeton Univ), Charles J. Fillmore (International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley) and James Pustejovsky (Brandeis University, Brandeis).

    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 (long or short). The papers should be submitted electronically (in postscript, rtf or pdf format) to both: pierrette.bouillonissco.unige.ch and kanzakicrl.go.jp

    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: January 15th, 2003 Acceptance/rejection notice: End of February 2003 Final version due: April 15th, 2003 Conference: May 15-17, 2003
