Organizers:Pierrette Bouillon (ETI/TIM/ISSCO, University of Geneva, Switzerland)Laurence Danlos (Université de Paris VII, Paris, France)Kyoko Kanzaki (National Institute of Information and Communications Technology,NICT, Japan)
Date:May 10-11 2007
Location:Ministère de la Recherche,Amphithéâtre Henri Point Carré,Paris, France(Research ministery, Room: Henri Point Carré)
Topic:The aim of GL workshops is to bring together diverse contributionsin philosophy, linguistics, computer science and lexicography toexplore the lexicon from the point of view of generativity. Thediscussions will be centered, but are not limited to, the emergingview 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 aboveperspectives, but put more of the focus on building on-line GLresources 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 isdesirable (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 postersand presentations are foreseen and will be published in theproceedings. Invited speakers will be announced later.
Submission procedure: Authors should submit an anonymous paper of atmost 7 single-column pages (including references) using a 12' bodyfont size together with a separate page specifying the author's name,affiliation, address, e-mail address, title and type of paper (normalpresentation or poster). The minimum size is 3 pages for a posterpaper and 5 pages for a normal paper. The papers should be submittedelectronically (in postscript, rtf or pdf format) to both:kanzakiissco.unige.chTel: +41/22/705 86 79Fax: +41/22/705 86 89http://www.issco.unige.ch/gl2007.html
