Widely considered to be the best series of publications on morphology at the international level, and is referred to very frequently in linguistic publications. A revival of interest in morphology has occurred during recent years. The periodical Yearbook of Morphology, published since 1988, has proven to be an eminent support for this upswing of morphological research, and has shown that morphology is central to present-day linguistic theorizing. In the Yearbook of Morphology 2005 a number of important theoretical issues are discussed: the role of inflectional paradigms in morphological analysis, the differences between words and affixes, and the adequacy of competing models of word structure. In addition, the role of phonological factors in shaping complex words is discussed. Evidence for particular positions defended in this volume is taken from a wide variety of languages. This volume is of interest to those working in theoretical, descriptive and historical linguistics, morphologists, phonologists, computational linguists, and psycholinguists Linguistic Field(s): Morphology Written In: English (eng) See this book announcement on our website: http://linguistlist.org/get-book.html?BookID=19212 MAJOR SUPPORTERS Blackwell Publishing http://www.blackwellpublishing.com Cambridge University Press http://us.cambridge.org Cascadilla Press http://www.cascadilla.com/ Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd http://www.continuumbooks.com Edinburgh University Press http://www.eup.ed.ac.uk/ European Language Resources Association http://www.elda.org/sommaire.php Georgetown University Press http://www.press.georgetown.edu Hodder Arnold http://www.hoddereducation.co.uk John Benjamins http://www.benjamins.com/ Lawrence Erlbaum Associates http://www.erlbaum.com/ Lincom GmbH http://www.lincom.at MIT Press http://mitpress.mit.edu/ Mouton de Gruyter http://www.mouton-publishers.com Multilingual Matters http://www.multilingual-matters.com/ Oxford University Press http://www.oup.com/us Palgrave Macmillan http://www.palgrave.com Rodopi http://www.rodopi.nl/ Routledge (Taylor and Francis) http://www.routledge.com/ Springer http://www.springer.com OTHER SUPPORTING PUBLISHERS Anthropological Linguistics http://www.indiana.edu/~anthling/ CSLI Publications http://cslipublications.stanford.edu/ Graduate Linguistic Students' Assoc.

These meetings have been very successful over the years, providing beginning researchers the opportunity to present their work on an academic forum and to receive valuable feedback. Stimulated by suggestions from the AILA International Committee, Anéla and GAL, the German affiliate, have now planned to organize a joint International Research Meeting for Junior Applied Linguists, aiming at an international exchange of ideas and a stimulation of contacts between European affiliates of AILA. Interaction with and feedback from both junior and senior researchers is highly emphasized. We invite junior researchers to submit abstracts for thirty-minute oral presentations and/or poster presentations describing original work addressing topics from one of the following fields of applied linguistics: - Language development - Language in the community - Language in education - Language in professional settings Possible topics range from first and second language acquisition, literacy development and language disorders to language variation and linguistic discrimination, multilingualism and intercultural communication and from language conflict, language policy and language planning to language and communication in politics and by audiovisual- and virtual means. Language choice for abstracts and presentations is free. Abstracts can be submitted through the website: www.anela.nl/juniorresearchmeeting.

The target areas include the recognition of discourse structure as well as the interpretation and generation of discourse in a broad variety of domains. Workshop on Constraints in Discourse http://www.constraints-in-discourse.org/cid06 This is the second in a series of workshops entitled ''Constraints in Discourse''. For a many years, the development of precise frameworks of discourse interpretation has been hampered by the lack of a deeper understanding of the dependencies between different discourse units. The past 15 years have seen a considerable advance in this field. A number of strong constraints have been proposed that restrict the sequencing and attaching of segments at various descriptive levels, as well as the interpretation of their interrelations. Last year's workshop CID2005 in Dortmund revealed a number of issues that still have to be clarified and worked upon. Most relevant topics turned out to be: - the necessity to have a look at intonation and discourse structure more closely; - the question of formal properties of discourse structure (tree-like or graph-like etc.); - the question of (psychological, social or linguistic) reality of constraints; - the interface between utterance-level and discourse-level analysis; - and the empirical foundation and availability of corpus annotation of constraints. The goal of this series of workshops is to provide a forum for presenting recent research on constraints in discourse. The target areas include the recognition of discourse structure as well as the interpretation and generation of discourse in a broad variety of domains. The workshop offers a forum for researchers from diverse formal approaches, including but not limited to: - Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) - Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (SDRT) - Tree Adjoining Grammars - Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) - The QUD Modell - Plan Based Reasoning - Abductive Reasoning - Gricean Pragmatics - Speech Act Theory We invite talks that further our theoretical understanding of the role of constraints in discourse, as well as empirical studies that shed light on their empirical validity. The conference is explicitly intended for discussion and comparison of theoretical accounts that lay the ground for applications. It is not intended as a platform for system demonstrations. Specific topics might relate to - Anaphora Resolution - Co-reference - Dialogical vs. Monological Discourse - Questions and Answers - Lexicon and Discourse Relations - Cognitive Modeling - Underspecification and Nonmonotonic Inferences etc. The organisers are planning to publish a selection of the results of the workshop either as a special issue of a journal or as a book. Publication (and workshop) language is English The workshop is endorsed by SIGdial, the Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue, and SIGsem, the Special Interest Group on Semantics, of ACL. Invited Speakers Barbara Kaup, Technical University Berlin Alex Lascarides, University of Edinburgh Jerry Hobbs, University of Southern California Candace Sidner, Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs Paper Submission Researchers interested in contributing a paper to the workshop are invited to submit an abstract that spans not more than 3 pages in PDF or PS (single column, 10pt font size, a4 paper, including a bibliography) using the form at the workshop website (http://www.constraints-in-discourse.org/cid06). Reviews will be done blindly; the abstracts may accordingly not include explicit hints that allow the identification of the authors (such as ''in paper (...) we show that'').

[français suivra] CALL FOR PAPERS Atlantic Provinces Linguistic Association Conference Saint Mary's University Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada November 3 & 4, 2006 Conference Theme: Linguistic Communities Community is the framework within which languages, and specific ways of using them, are acquired, developed, and practiced. Speakers often value and use social and regional varieties or minority languages as a way of acting out solidarity and belonging. Contact between linguistic communities can lead to changes in speech varieties and the contexts in which they are used. Papers are invited that look at the characteristic ways that language is used in particular communities as well as papers that examine aspects of linguistic communities in contact: - How is communication achieved within and across community boundaries? - How does contact between communities influence in-group communication? - How does use of language create and maintain group boundaries? - How does bilingualism/bidialectalism allow individuals to cross boundaries? - What are the characteristics and functions of varieties in bilingual speech communities? - Which factors contribute to the spread or decline of certain speech communities? Keynote Speaker: Jean Briggs, Memorial University, Newfoundland ''Language Dead or Alive: What's in a Dictionary?'' We welcome proposals, in English or French, for papers relating to the conference theme and/or any other topic in linguistics. Graduate students are especially encouraged to submit. Papers are of 30 minutes duration (allow 20 minutes for presentation and 10 for discussion). Abstracts should be no more than 300 words in length, excluding title and references. In a separate section, please list your paper title, name, affiliation (indicate if you are a student), your current mailing and electronic address, your phone and fax numbers, and any audiovisual equipment that will be needed for your presentation. Please submit abstracts via email as separate attachments (MSWord, WordPerfect or Rich Text Format). All presenters must be members of the Association. The annual membership fee of $25 ($10 for students) may be paid at the conference. The registration fee for the conference is $50 ($15 for students).

Les personnes qui parlent une variété régionale ou sociale, ou une langue minoritaire, sont souvent très attachées à celle-ci, qu'elles utilisent aux fins de démontrer leur solidarité et leur appartenance. Les contacts entre communautés linguistiques peuvent mener à des changements dans les variétés de langue et dans les contextes dans lesquels celles-ci s'utilisent. Nous invitons les communications portant sur les usages caractéristiques de la langue au sein des communautés linguistiques, aussi bien que sur les différents aspects du contact entre ces communautés : - Comment s'effectue la communication, à la fois à l'intérieur des frontières communautaires et au travers de celles-ci ? - Comment le contact entre communautés influence-t-il la communication à l'intérieur du groupe ? - Quel est le rôle de l'usage linguistique dans la création et le maintien des frontières entre groupes ? - Comment le bilinguisme ou le bidialectalisme permet-il aux individus de franchir ces frontières ? - Quelles sont les caractéristiques et les fonctions des variétés en usage dans les communautés bilingues ? - Quels sont les facteurs qui contribuent à l'expansion ou au déclin de certaines communautés linguistiques ? Conférencière invitée: Jean Briggs, Memorial University, Newfoundland 'La langue, morte ou vive : Que trouve-t-on dans un dictionnaire ?' Nous acceptons les propositions de communication, en français ou en anglais, sur le thème du colloque mais aussi sur d'autres sujets linguistiques. Nous encourageons tout spécialement les étudiants gradués à soumettre leurs propositions. Les communications seront d'une durée maximum de 30 minutes (20 minutes de présentation et 10 minutes de discussion). Les résumés ne doivent pas dépasser 300 mots, sans compter le titre et les références. Sur feuillet séparé, veuillez indiquer le titre de votre communication, vos nom et affiliation (mentionnez si vous êtes étudiant(e)), vos adresses courrier et courriel, et vos numéros de téléphone et de télécopie, ainsi que le matériel audio-visuel dont vous aurez besoin. Veuillez soumettre votre résumé par courriel, comme pièce jointe (MS Word, WordPerfect ou RTF). Toutes les personnes présentant des communications doivent être membres de l'Association.

Information structure across languages. Conference to be arranged by the project SPRIK Språk i kontrast/Languages in Contrast at the University of Oslo, Norway, June 8-10, 2006. The goal of the conference is to present and discuss current research in text interpretation, particularly textual cohesion and coherence across languages. We aim to bring together researchers interested in systematizing and explaining the variety of means exploited across languages to create cohesion and establish dependencies and discourse hierarchies in text. Different languages exploit similar means differently, partly due to competing structures available in the individual languages, partly due to language-typological differences. We are interested in empirically based cross-linguistic studies that contribute to a better understanding of explicit and implicit information in 'real' discourse, as well as in theoretical research modelling textual cohesion/coherence.

Authors are invited to submit articles on substantial work that combines grammatical inference with applications. We place no restrictions on the type of applications, the way grammatical inference is used. Some topics that are of interest are: * Robotics: map learning, language learning * Computational linguistics: parsing, natural language processing, language modelling * Information extraction (IE): world wide web IE, wrapper induction, DTD learning * User modelling: web usage mining, web personalisation * Semantic modelling: ontology learning * Computational biology: biological sequence analysis, motif extraction, structure predictions * Machine translation: transducer learning, language alignment, bi-language modelling * Music modelling: musical style classification, automatic composition Note that this is not an exhaustive list and non-classical applications such as animal language modelling, strategy learning, etc. are strongly encouraged. The main criterion is substance and quality. All submissions will be peer reviewed. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for submissions: 8 May, 2006 Notification to authors: 1 October, 2006 Final versions of accepted papers due: 1 December, 2006 Publication (paper): Second half of 2007 GUEST EDITORS # Colin de la Higuera (Universite de Saint-Etienne, France), # Tim Oates (University of Maryland Baltimore County, USA), # Menno van Zaanen (Macquarie University, Australia). PAPERS PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED IN CONFERENCES/WORKSHOPS: Authors of papers that appeared previously in refereed conferences and workshops (e.g. in the 2005 IJCAI workshop on Grammatical Inference Applications: Successes and Future Challenges - http://www.ics.mq.edu.au/~menno/IJCAI05/) are encouraged to submit extended versions of their papers. Such extended papers must be significantly different from the conference version, as well as accessible to the broad readership of the journal, not just to researchers in Grammatical Inference. More generally, authors submitting extended versions of previously published conference/workshop papers are strongly encouraged to expand on the material that was included in the original paper, e.g., to provide more details, to give greater, more in-depth, discussion of the results and related work, to expand upon the experimental results, and to give a more thorough and scholarly treatment of the material (than was possible in a conference paper). Submissions must not have appeared in, nor be under consideration by, other journals. Authors of papers whose previous versions appeared in refereed conferences and workshops are requested to provide the previously published version of their papers, as well as to include in their submission a brief letter stating the differences between the prior published version and this AAI Special Issue submission. DETAILED SUBMISSION INFORMATION Papers must be sent to Colin de la Higuera (cdlh@univ-st-etienne.fr). Authors should consult the Instructions for Authors provided by Taylor & Francis: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/authors/uaaiauth.asp If you have any further questions or require more detailed information about the Special Issue and the submission procedure and requirements, please contact the guest editors. ---------------------------- - Menno van Zaanen - Everything under the sun is in tune, - menno@ics.mq.edu.au - but the sun is eclipsed by the moon. - www.ics.mq.edu.au/~menno - -Pink Floyd ---------------------------- From - Thu Dec 10 14:22:52 2009 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Gmail-Received: c59f621c8b06ee952a36f57f55414e6b62f6ce5a Delivered-To: jpprost@gmail.com Received: by 10.65.222.4 with SMTP id z4cs6156qbq; Thu, 27 Apr 2006 04:41:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.67.21.17 with SMTP id y17mr1901313ugi; Thu, 27 Apr 2006 04:41:27 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: Received: from noralf.uib.no (noralf.uib.no [129.177.30.12]) by mx.gmail.com with ESMTP id y1si535058uge.2006.04.27.04.41.23; Thu, 27 Apr 2006 04:41:27 -0700 (PDT) Received-SPF: pass (gmail.com: domain of owner-corpora@lists.uib.no designates 129.177.30.12 as permitted sender) Received: from blenda.uib.no [129.177.30.130] by noralf.uib.no with esmtp (Exim 4.34) id 1FZ4re-0000hs-Gm; Thu, 27 Apr 2006 13:40:54 +0200 Received: from majordomo by blenda.uib.no with local (Exim 4.60) id 1FZ50r-000OqG-Rz; Thu, 27 Apr 2006 13:50:25 +0200 Received: from rolf.uib.no [129.177.30.19] by blenda.uib.no with esmtp (Exim 4.60) id 1FZ50r-000OqB-DZ; Thu, 27 Apr 2006 13:50:25 +0200 Received: from marmot.shef.ac.uk [143.167.1.4] by rolf.uib.no for corpora@uib.no with esmtp (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.34) id 1FZ4rS-0001nb-BU; Thu, 27 Apr 2006 13:40:45 +0200 Received: from holly.dcs.shef.ac.uk ([143.167.8.1]) by marmot.shef.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.52) id 1FZ4rK-0002Y1-MF; Thu, 27 Apr 2006 12:40:34 +0100 Received: from dcs.shef.ac.uk (cobbing.dcs.shef.ac.uk [143.167.10.196]) by holly.dcs.shef.ac.uk (8.12.10+Sun/8.12.10) with ESMTP id k3RBeWAF023542; Thu, 27 Apr 2006 12:40:32 +0100 (BST) Message-ID: <4450ADAB.1000605@dcs.shef.ac.uk> Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2006 12:40:27 +0100 From: Mark Stevenson User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax) X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: corpora@uib.no, elsnet-list@elsnet.org, euralex@IMS.Uni-Stuttgart.DE, alta-tech@ics.mq.edu.au, irlist@sheffield.ac.uk, rasmusse@research.rutgers.edu CC: Mark Stevenson Subject: [Corpora-List] FINAL CFP: COLING/ACL workshop "Information Extraction Beyond the Document" References: <44327340.6010900@dcs.shef.ac.uk> In-Reply-To: <44327340.6010900@dcs.shef.ac.uk> Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------040108080806050605000802" X-S0phie-Scan: yes X-checked-clean: by exiscan on rolf X-Scanner: 6838f3bd8d90be791c55c8bd696a5413 http://tjinfo.uib.no/virus.html X-UiB-SpamFlag: NO UIB: 0.1 hits, 8.0 required X-UiB-SpamReport: spamassassin found; 0.1 BODY: Message is 30% to 40% HTML 0.0 BODY: HTML included in message 0.0 BODY: HTML title contains no text List-Id: Sender: owner-corpora@lists.uib.no Precedence: bulk This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------040108080806050605000802 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ######################### # Deadline April 30th # ######################### Call for Papers COLING/ACL 2006 Workshop INFORMATION EXTRACTION BEYOND THE DOCUMENT 22nd July 2006, Sydney, Australia Organisers: Mary Elaine Califf (Illinois State University) Mark A.

We strongly recommend the use of the Latex and Microsoft Word style files which will be available on the main conference website. As reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Submission will be electronic. Details will appear on the workshop web site (http://nlp.shef.ac.uk/result/iebd06).

Traditional approaches to the development and evaluation of
Information Extraction (IE) systems have relied on relatively small
collections of up to a few hundred documents tagged with detailed
semantic annotations.  While this paradigm has enabled rapid advances
in IE technology, it remains constrained by a dependence on annotated
documents and does not make use of the information available in large
corpora.  Alternative approaches, which make use of large text
collections and inter-document information, are now beginning to
emerge -- as evidenced by a parallel emergence of interest in learning
from unlabelled data in AI in general.  For example, some systems
learn extraction patterns by exploiting information about their
distribution across corpora; others exploit the redundancy of the
internet by assuming that facts with multiple mentions are more
reliable.  These approaches require large amounts of unannotated text,
which is generally easy to obtain, and employ unsupervised or
minimally supervised learning algorithms, as well as related
techniques such as co-training and active learning.  These alternative
approaches are complementary to the established IE paradigm based on
supervised training, and are now forming a cohesive emergent trend in
recent research. They will constitute the focus of this workshop.

There are several advantages to employing large text collections for IE.
They provide enormous amounts of training data, albeit mostly
unannotated.  Facts can be extracted from, or verified across, multiple
documents.  Large text collections often contain vast amounts of
redundancy in  the form of multiple references to or mentions of closely
related facts.   Redundancy can be exploited in the IE setting to
identify trends and patterns  within the text, e.g., by means of Data
Mining techniques.

This workshop invites new, original work on learning extraction rules
or identifying facts across document boundaries while exploiting
sizable amounts of unlabelled text in the training stage, in the
extraction stage, or both. The workshop hopes to bring together
researchers from the various related areas, such as Information

The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic and computation. ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a wide variety of topics within the three areas of interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and Computation. Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information. The ESSLLI 2007 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational, introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 19th annual Summer School on a wide range of timely topics that have demonstrated their relevance in the following fields: - Logic and Language - Logic and Computation - Language and Computation PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: Proposals should be submitted through a web form available at http://www.folli.org/submission.php All proposals should be submitted no later than ******* Thursday June 15, 2006. ******* Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision by October 2006. Proposers should follow the guidelines below while preparing their submissions; proposals that deviate can not be considered. GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION: Anyone interested in lecturing or organizing a workshop during ESSLLI-2007, please read the following information carefully. ALL COURSES: Courses are taught by 1 or max. 2 lecturers. They consists of five sessions (a one-week course), each session lasting 90 minutes. Lecturers who want to offer a long, two-week course should structure it as two independent one week courses (ideally, with an introductory part in the first week of ESSLLI, and a more advanced part during the second). The ESSLLI program committee has the right to select only one of the two proposed courses. Timetable for Course Proposal Submission: Jun 15, 2006: Proposal Submission Deadline Sep 15, 2006: Notification Jun 1, 2007: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course material (by ESSLLI Local Organizers) FOUNDATIONAL COURSES: These are strictly elementary courses not assuming any background knowledge. They are intended for people to get acquainted with the problems and techniques of areas new to them. Ideally, they should allow researchers from other fields to acquire the key competences of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the development of a truly interdisciplinary research community. Foundational courses may presuppose some experience with scientific methods in general, so as to be able to concentrate on the issues that are germane to the area of the course. INTRODUCTORY COURSES: Introductory courses are central to the activities of the Summer School. They are intended to equip students and young researchers with a good understanding of a field's basic methods and techniques. Introductory courses in, for instance, Language and Computation, can build on some knowledge of the component fields; e.g., an introductory course in computational linguistics should address an audience which is familiar with the basics of linguistics and computation. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the level of the course as compared to standard texts in the area (if available). ADVANCED COURSES: Advanced courses should be pitched at an audience of advanced Masters or PhD students. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites in detail. WORKSHOPS: The aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for advanced Ph.D. students and other researchers to present and discuss their work. Workshops should have a well defined theme, and workshop organizers should be specialists in the theme of the workshop. It is a strict requirement that organizers give a general introduction to the them during the first session of the workshop. They are also responsible for the organization and program of the workshop including inviting the submission of papers, reviewing, expenses of invited speakers, etc. Each workshop organizer will be responsible for producing the 1st Call for Papers in December, 2006. The call must make it clear that the workshop is open to all members of the LLI community. It should also note that all workshop contributors must register for the Summer School. TIMETABLE for Workshop Proposal Submissions Jun 15, 2006: Proposal Submission Deadline Sep 15, 2006: Notification Nov 15, 2005: Deadline for receipt of Call for Papers (by ESSLLI PC chair) Dec 1, 2006: Workshop organizers send out (First) Call for Papers Feb 15, 2007: Deadline for Papers (suggested) May 1, 2007: Notification of Workshop Contributors (suggested) Jun 1, 2007: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready copy of Workshop Proceedings (by ESSLLI Local Organizers) Notice that workshop speakers will be required to register for the Summer School; however, they will be able to register at a reduced rate to be determined by the Local Organizers. FORMAT FOR PROPOSALS: The web-based form for submitting course and workshop proposals will be accessible at http://www.folli.org/submission.php. You will be required to submit the following information: * Name (name(s) of proposed lecturer(s)/organizer) * Address (contact addresses of proposed lecturer(s)/organizer; where possible, please include phone and fax numbers) * Title (title of proposed course/workshop) * Type (is this a workshop, a foundational course, an introductory course, or an advanced course?) * Section (does your proposal fit in Language & Computation, Language & Logic or Logic & Computation? name only one) * Description (in at most 150 words, describe the proposed contents and substantiate timeliness and relevance to ESSLLI) * External funding (will you be able to find external funding to help fund your travel and accommodation expenses? if so, how?) * Further particulars (any further information that is required by the above guidelines should be included here; in particular, indicate here your teaching experience in an interdisciplinary field as the one addressed by ESSLLI.) FINANCIAL ASPECTS: Prospective lecturers and workshop organizers should be aware that all teaching and organizing at the summer schools is done on a voluntary basis in order to keep the participants fees as low as possible. Lecturers and organizers are not paid for their contribution, but are reimbursed for travel and accommodation (up to a fixed, maximum amount that will be notified to lecturers when courses are accepted). It should be stressed that while proposals from all over the world are welcomed, the Summer School cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs, especially from destinations outside Europe. Please note the following: In case a course is to be taught by two lecturers, a lump sum is reimbursed to cover travel and accommodation expenses for one lecturer. The splitting of the sum is up to the lecturers. The local organizers highly appreciate it if, whenever possible, lecturers and workshop organizers find alternative funding to cover travel and accommodation expenses, and such issues might be taken into account when selecting courses.

Symposium on the Emergence and Evolution of Linguistic Communication (EELC III). http://bdc.brain.riken.go.jp/eelc2006/ Rome, Italy, 30 Sept. - 1 Oct. 2006. As part of the Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB) conference http://www.sab06.org/ Invited Speakers: Peter Gardenfors (Lund University, Sweden), Naoto Iwahashi (ATR, Japan), Elena Lieven (Max Planck Institute, Germany), Eörs Szathmáry (Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary) Scope of the Workshop Language is generally considered as the hallmark of human intelligence. One important way to study why this is the case, is to investigate how linguistic communication has evolved. In the past decade, this research area has received a lot of attention from the scientific community and could be considered as one of the main areas of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. The EELC III workshop will focus on empirical and modelling research on the emergence of symbol grounding and other aspects of linguistic communication in language evolution and language acquisition. The key questions relate to how symbolic communication can emerge from interactions of individuals with their environment, including other individuals, and how such communication can become meaningful to the individual or population. Research methods that are used to study these issues include experimental and observational studies on child language acquisition and animal communication; theoretical and co! mputational modelling; and (robotic) simulations of adaptive behaviour. The workshop aims to provide leading scientists in the interdisciplinary area of language evolution and language acquisition a platform to present their latest results and discuss areas of further research. Until about 15 years ago, there was very little productive research in the study of language evolution. However, with the increased advancements of computational techniques and other empirical methods, the field of language evolution has grown to become one of the major research areas in cognitive science. While the field is largely interdisciplinary with contributions from linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, biology, anthropology, philosophy and computer science, the latter has proven to be among the most influential disciplines. A reason for this is that empirical evidence on language evolution is scarce and computer simulations offer a good testbed for investigating hypotheses. One of the major driving forces for language evolution is often considered to be language acquisition. Language can be transmitted over subsequent generations if individuals can learn language. Moreover, it has been claimed that the stages of children's language acquisition mirrors the stages of language evolution. So, the current EELC will not only look at studies on the evolution of language, but also at studies on language acquisition. Although many computer simulations take the emergence of symbol grounding for granted, recently there has been an increase in studies that focus on issues relating to the emergence of grounded communication systems. The EELC III will therefore have 'adaptive approaches to symbol grounding and beyond' as its central theme, though contributions are not limited to this theme. Submissions are invited covering all aspects of the emergence and evolution of language. All accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS/LNAI Series. For more information and details on submission, consult the workshop's homepage, http://bdc.brain.riken.go.jp/eelc2006/.

Background The idea for this conference roots in the observation of several deficiencies of the Gallo-Roman domain: - the paucity of contemporary studies that continue the tradition of the Phonétique Historique - the minor role that dialects have played in the construction of classical diachronic knowledge - the minor role played by modern theories in diachronic studies We believe that our understanding of the evolution of Gallo-Romance will greatly benefit from the confrontation of the classical knowledge with diatopic variation and modern theories. Indeed, knowledge from various sources have failed to be interwoven because - the classical work in Gallo-Roman diachronics as well as modern theories have been largely built on the grounds of standard forms of languages; - for a long time, diachronic material and dialectal variation have been neglected (sometimes rejected) as empirical evidence in generative phonology; - the progress in diachronic and geolinguistic documentation (FEW, Atlases) has often been accomplished either in absence of concern for formal models of language, or in overt suspicion towards them. In this context, it is useful to recall that linguistics was fed with diachronic and geolinguistic data (particularly Gallo-Romance data actually) at its beginnings in the 19th century. The conference is designed as a contribution to the task of restoring the continuity of exchange among dialectology, diachronics and theoretical linguistics. These disciplines having been too long estranged from each other socially, institutionally and culturally, we believe that a renewed collaboration represents substantial prospect for all them. Concrete benefits are also to be awaited on the institutional side: while French diachronics to day play an important role in the French education of teachers in secondary school (concours du Capes and de l'Agrégation), their teaching is not fed by active research anymore. The conference specifically aims at overcoming a certain inclination to solipsism that is characteristic of the study of French diachronics. In order to understand the development of French, all present and past varieties of oïl need to be taken into account as much as standard French and its predecessors. Also, standard French and dialects of oïl need to be confronted with the two neighbouring Romance languages, Francoprovençal and Occitan. All submissions that concern present or past varieties of the three languages identified are welcome. They may concentrate on one language or build on comparative material, focus on an idiolect or a larger dialectal area, and concern literarily elaborated or exclusively oral forms. The limitation of the conference to the Gallo-Romance space is deliberate but of course arbitrary. The reference to this specific geographic domain singles out a clearly identifiable portion of Romance and corresponds to a certain academic tradition which the conference aims at critically continuating. This frame being set, it will have an open interpretation: all submissions that have some affinity with it will be considered. In particular, reference to other Romance and non-Romance languages is welcome as long as Gallo-Romance material is considered. ----------------------------------------------------------- LINGUIST List: Vol-17-1307 From - Thu Dec 10 14:22:52 2009 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Gmail-Received: f12dc3d12c69f0872df0feb312eb8d50bc696596 Delivered-To: jpprost@gmail.com Received: by 10.65.222.4 with SMTP id z4cs97030qbq; Tue, 2 May 2006 12:03:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.35.101.9 with SMTP id d9mr1446502pym; Tue, 02 May 2006 12:03:57 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: Received: from listserv.linguistlist.org (listserv.linguistlist.org [164.76.102.107]) by mx.gmail.com with ESMTP id t70si1665489pyg.2006.05.02.12.03.45; Tue, 02 May 2006 12:03:57 -0700 (PDT) Received-SPF: pass (gmail.com: best guess record for domain of owner-linguist@listserv.linguistlist.org designates 164.76.102.107 as permitted sender) Received: from listserv (listserv [164.76.102.107]) by listserv.linguistlist.org (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id k42J2Or8004036; Tue, 2 May 2006 15:03:43 -0400 (EDT) Received: by LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 14.4) with spool id 416302 for LINGUIST@LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG; Tue, 2 May 2006 15:03:40 -0400 Approved-By: linguist@LINGUISTLIST.ORG Received: from linguistlist.org (linguistlist.org [164.76.102.53]) by listserv.linguistlist.org (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id k42IK14o026872 for ; Tue, 2 May 2006 14:20:01 -0400 (EDT) Received: from linguistlist.org (linguistlist.org [164.76.102.53]) by linguistlist.org (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id k42IJqea000057; Tue, 2 May 2006 14:19:52 -0400 (EDT) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 X-Mailer: ColdFusion MX Application Server X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-2.0.2 (listserv.linguistlist.org [164.76.102.107]); Tue, 02 May 2006 15:03:44 -0400 (EDT) X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-2.0.2 (listserv.linguistlist.org [164.76.102.107]); Tue, 02 May 2006 14:20:01 -0400 (EDT) X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-2.0.2 (linguistlist.org [164.76.102.53]); Tue, 02 May 2006 14:19:52 -0400 (EDT) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by listserv.linguistlist.org id k42IK24o026887 Message-ID: <17904568.1146593992627.JavaMail.nobody@linguistlist.org> Date: Tue, 2 May 2006 14:19:52 -0400 Reply-To: linguist@LINGUISTLIST.ORG Sender: The LINGUIST Discussion List From: linguist@LINGUISTLIST.ORG Subject: 17.1347, Calls: Semantics/Germany;General Ling/Netherlands Comments: To: gayatri@linguistlist.org, linglike@linguistlist.org To: LINGUIST@LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG Precedence: list LINGUIST List: Vol-17-1347.

The conference will be held in Utrecht, The Netherlands from June 2nd to 4th, 2006. We invite abstracts for 40-minute talks with an additional 20-minute discussion. Invited speakers Marcel den Dikken (CUNY) Raffaella Folli (University of Ulster) Vivienne Fong (University of Stanford) Marcus Kracht (UCLA) Peter Svenonius (University of Tromsø) Joost Zwarts (Radboud University, Nijmegen) CALL FOR ELECTRONIC POSTERS The conference on Syntax and Semantics of Spatial P will take place at the UiL OTS, Utrecht University from June 2nd to 4th, 2006. Its main aim is to stimulate discussion about the category P in a broad sense (prepositions, postpositions, circumpositions, particles, prefixes) from various linguistic perspectives. Abstracts for presentation have been selected and the programme can be found below. If you wish to attend the conference and participate in the discussion, you are welcome to submit an electronic poster to the conference web site. Electronic posters will be reviewed only for pertinence to the topic of the conference. They should summarize recent work that is unpublished or otherwise not widely known. If published, please include the reference. Electronic posters should be up to 1000 words (roughly 5 pages), ideally in .html format, or else in .pdf. Please create a text that is easy to read off the screen, in terms of wording, organization, and typography. Examples and analyses should be presented in their logical order, not on separate pages as in some conference abstracts. Each poster should start with the name, affiliation, email address, and possibly home page link of the author(s), followed by the title. We will not post submissions that do not contain the author information. Please email the poster files by May 15th, 2006 to both of the following e-mail addresses: Anna.Asbury@let.uu.nl Rick.Nouwen@let.uu.nl The submissions will be posted on this site soon thereafter and are to be used as potential sources of discussion during the conference. If you would like to draw attention to a related paper of yours, please post them at your home page and send us an entry consisting of the author(s), the full title of the paper, and the link. Such entries will be posted alongside electronic posters, for the long-term benefit though perhaps not for the immediate edification of participants.

A key technology, which is employed to overcome this problem is Natural Language Processing, because most of the content of the web is still textual. Any support for automatic and semi-automatic extraction, elicitation of metadata to such content will be of great assistance to the authors and users of the web content. The workshop aims at being a forum for researchers to present their work in the area of semantic annotation, key word extraction, practical compositional semantics etc. It will provide an opportunity to present and discuss original methods for identification of metadata in text, semantic annotation of text, dealing with multilingual content, interconnecting metadata with ontologies, etc. Topics of interest are connected with, but not limited to the following suggestions: - standards for metadata - extraction of metadata from texts - metadata and ontologies - extraction of concepts and keyphrases from text - metadata in a multilingual environment Important dates Deadline for workshop abstract submission: 20th May 2006 Notification of acceptance: 24th June 2006 Final version of paper: 30th July 2006 Workshop: 12th September 2006 Invited Speaker Paul Buitelaar, DFKI Submissions Papers should describe existing research connected to the topics of the workshop.

Since 1991, the Spanish in the US Conference has been held in conjunction with the Spanish in Contact with Other Languages Conference, allowing productive connections between researchers focusing on the US context and researchers investigating the entire Spanish-speaking world. In recent years, interest and participation have increased dramatically, thanks to both the growing public and scholarly recognition of Spanish-speaking communities in the United States. Plenary speakers Carol Klee, University of Minnesota Luis Moll, University of Arizona Rachel Moran, University of California-Berkeley Alejandro Portes, Princeton University Roundtables In addition to plenary addresses and individual papers, the 2007 conference will host two special roundtables designed to encourage interaction between academic researchers and professionals working outside of academia: - Spanish and the media, organized by María Carreira (California State University-Long Beach). - Educational policies and practices affecting Spanish in the US, organized by Ana Roca (Florida International University). Submissions are invited for papers on original, unpublished research on any area related to Spanish in the United States or Spanish in contact with other languages including but not limited to the following: bilingualism, educational policies and practices, formal aspects of US Spanish, heritage language learning and teaching, language and identity, language and the law, language change, language contact, language ideologies, language in politics and politics of language, language maintenance, language planning, language policy, language rights, linguistic variation, mass media and Spanish, Spanish in the professions, and Spanish and the economy. Papers may be given in Spanish or English, with papers in Spanish especially encouraged. Papers will be 20 minutes long followed by a 10 minute question period.

Electronic corpora of written texts or transcriptions of speech are increasingly used and sometimes purposefully collected by linguists in their investigations of phenomena such as metaphor, metonymy, idioms, and frames. During their work, some linguists also compile - more or less private - electronic archives of phenomena studied in cognitive linguistics: searchable lists, classifications, databases. Moreover, they have to deal with these phenomena - usually in cooperation with computational linguists and computer scientists - when building general lexicon resources for the automatic treatment of language. Problems that arise when working with corpora are connected to the way they are prepared for and processed by the corpus tools (concordancers, corpus managers). For example, in spite of some attempts in computational linguistics to detect metaphors in running texts, no corpus manager disposes of a ''Show all metaphors'' function. Rather, in order to search a corpus for metaphors, linguists will devise their own methods, be they theory-based or data-driven. Other problems arise when creating project-specific as well as more general archives of language usage examples classified by cognitive linguistic criteria. Here, linguists decide which criteria they use in their classifications and which features of the archived data they annotate. These decisions are often made at a project-specific basis and therefore different classifications might be difficult to compare. At a larger scale, this also applies to general linguistic resources developed for Human Language Technology applications. The decisions taken during linguistic resource-building may then be evaluated - by the resource developers or others -, based on large quantities of data encoded in the resources themselves. Evaluations of this kind are at the same time test-beds for theories put forth in cognitive linguistics, and their results provide valuable feedback for theory development. In this theme session, we would like to discuss methods of exploiting electronic corpora for any cognitive linguistic research, not restricted to the phenomena mentioned above, as well as practical experiences with resource building in cognitive linguistics. We also invite contributions that evaluate the implications of data encoded in computational resources, from the viewpoint of cognitive linguistic theory. Please send only detailed abstracts (2 pages), in which you make clear how your study is related to the topics indicated. The deadline for abstract submission is 15th May 2006. Participants will be notified of the acceptance of their papers by 1st July 2006.

Style may be roughly defined as the 'manner' in which something is expressed, as opposed to the 'content' of a message. Modelling, representing, explaining, and utilizing variation in the manner of expression is the business of stylistic analysis. This workshop follows four previous successful exploratory events on stylistic analysis and will focus on the practical craft of stylistic analysis in natural language texts. THIS YEAR: BRING A DEMO! Potentially useful applications of stylistic analysis abound, including systems for genre-based information retrieval, authorship attribution, plagiarism detection, context-sensitive text or speech generation systems, organizing and retrieving documents based on their writing style, attitude, or sentiment, quality or appropriateness filters for messaging systems, detecting abusive or threatening language, and more. This year, participants are expected to bring with them a method for applying stylistic analysis to information access tasks. Before lunch, methods are discussed in session; after lunch, demonstrated in practice. DISCUSSION QUESTION Participants should address the following key challenge question in their participation proposals: * WHAT IS A MEANINGFUL "KILLER APP" FOR STYLISTIC TEXT ANALYSIS? * and consider the following questions for discussion in session: 1. How does style relate to other forms of non-topical textual variation? 2. What features are best for different style analysis tasks? 3. Is cross-lingual or 'universal' style analysis possible, and if so, how? 4. How might we develop useful shared resources for moving style research forward? SUBMISSION FORMAT Send us a statement (in PDF) of up to five pages describing your research or application with a short description (and screenshots if possible) of the demonstration you plan to show. At the workshop we will discuss and decide on an appropriate forum for a more permanent record of the proceedings. If you would like a speaking slot in the discussion session, you should indicate this in your statement of interest.

Most of the papers deal with borrowing into languages from the Oceanic sub-group of the Austronesian language family, but two papers discuss borrowing in non-Austronesian languages spoken in Fiji. In the following discussion, all languages referred to are Oceanic languages, unless specifically identified as belonging to some other grouping. Three of the papers have been published previously (Biggs, Clark and Milner), the remainder are either new or represent a substantial reworking of previously published material. Biggs' paper (originally published in Lingua vol.14:383-415 [1965]) remains a classic in the literature on Oceanic languages. Its meticulous examination of directly and indirectly inherited words in the Rotuman language is an object lesson in how it is possible to identify borrowed words even when they come from related languages. Clark (originally published in Halim et al 1982) examines borrowing in the Ifira-Mele language (Vanuatu), and addresses the question of why borrowing takes place. Clark suggests that some borrowing is 'necessary', in the sense that contact between cultures causes the need for words to denote new artefacts and concepts. Other borrowing is, however, 'unnecessary', in that the needed words already exist in the target language but a new word is nevertheless borrowed. Clark suggests that this second type of borrowing still requires explanation, although he is unable to provide a solution. Crowley's paper is a response to the argument of Mühlhäusler (1996), that the structural integrity of Pacific languages is threatened by borrowing, and that the languages which survive will become local relexifications of European structures. Crowley presents evidence from the Sye language (Vanuatu) to show that restructuring has indeed been caused by loan words, but that it is not necessarily in the direction of English, the main source for borrowings. He also points out that attempting to protect minority languages from outside influences means preventing the speakers from interacting with the modern world on their own linguistic terms. Early discusses the strategies by which borrowed verbs are integrated into the language of Epi Island (Vanuatu). Loan words which were originally verbs or adjectives are treated consistently in these languages. Across the six languages of the island, borrowed verbs are barred from appearing in the structure typical of native verbs, in which the verb has an obligatory subject-referencing prefix and optional suffixes. Instead, borrowed verbs always follow a native copula, which carries any morphology needed. Early notes the parallel with the behaviour of borrowed nouns, which are also barred from appearing in a structure which would require them to be morphologically modified, the so-called directly-possessed form (see Crowley 1996 for discussion of possession in Oceanic languages). He further suggests that the remarkable parallelism across the six languages in their treatment of loans should be attributed to borrowing amongst the languages, most likely by way of one acting as a lingua franca. The paper by Geraghty uses linguistic evidence to establish which plant names in Polynesian languages, especially Fijian, are loan words. These borrowings in turn are argued to support the idea that in prehistoric times there was greater mobility amongst Pacific populations than is often thought to be the case. Geraghty gives convincing evidence that a sizeable number of Polynesian plant names are indeed loans. He follows Clark in distinguishing between 'necessary' and 'unnecessary' borrowings, and offers examples of both types. Methodologically, Geraghty suggests that 'the most valuable service provided to the study of prehistory by historical linguistics is not reconstruction per se, but the detection of borrowings that is made possible by reconstruction' (p65). Geraghty is also co-author of a paper, with Tent, which establishes that a small number of Dutch words (six or seven) were borrowed into Polynesian languages in the early stages of contact with Europeans. The authors provide convincing evidence that the earliest European linguistic influence in Polynesia is not English but Dutch (both are West Germanic languages), and that such influence predates Cook's voyages by at least a century. The authors also present evidence which shows that the borrowed words then spread through Polynesia, again before Cook's arrival, and therefore provide additional evidence for Geraghty's position (discussed above) that inter-island voyaging was extensive in Polynesia before European contact. Harlow's paper provides a survey of borrowing as it has affected the Maori language. He examines three periods in detail: the arrival of Polynesian people in New Zealand about 1000 years ago, the period of contact with Europeans (effectively from the latter half of the eighteenth century), and the revitalization activities since about 1980 (which Harlow calls 'the Maori renaissance'). Harlow shows that different pressures acted on the language in each of these periods, and that outcomes were therefore different. Adaptation of existing lexical resources was the common strategy in the first period, while borrowing was the dominant strategy in the second period, with many English words being adopted. In more recent times, there has been a conscious purism operating in Maori language planning. This has meant that borrowing from English has not been favoured as a strategy for expanding vocabulary in the third period, and Harlow also briefly discusses some of the alternative strategies. Hollyman's brief paper examines names used in New Caledonia which contain some reference to the putative origin of the item. An example of such a name is the French (Romance) _persil chinois_ for 'coriander'. With examples from local French varieties as well as indigenous Pacific languages, Hollyman shows that these names emphasize exoticism, but exoticism understood in a non-European way. In his fascinating paper, Langdon examines the linguistic evidence for the presence of non-Polynesian people on Futuna (north east of Fiji) before European contact. The impetus for such a study comes from a well-established tradition on Futuna concerning the Tsiaina people, the name clearly being an adaptation of 'China'. Langdon shows that there is good linguistic evidence to give this tradition an historical foundation, as well as evidence from cultural innovations. He argues that the Tsiaina had nothing at all to do with China, but possibly came from the Sangir Islands close to Sulawesi. A consequence of this research for linguists is that evidence from Futuna used in reconstructing Proto-Polynesian may not be as reliable as previously thought. Studies of borrowing, unsurprisingly, concentrate on actual instances where a word has been taken from one language into another language. Lynch's paper, in contrast, discusses two situations in which, on the basis of the historico-social situation, extensive borrowing might have been expected but did not eventuate. The Melanesian creole Bislama underwent much of its development as a result of recruitment of people from Vanuatu for plantation labour, ships' crews and the sandalwood trade. Many people from southern Melanesia, particularly the Loyalty Islands and the current Tafea province, were recruited, but the languages of these two areas have had negligible impact on the lexicon of Bislama. Again, German presence in Samoa was significant, but there are only small numbers of German (West Germanic) loans in Samoan, either in the current language or as obsolete words previously recorded. In the first case, Lynch suggests that the phonologies and phonotactics of the possible source languages were such as to make borrowing difficult. He suggests that the southern people were also looked down on and that therefore words from their languages would have had low prestige. In the Samoan case, the difference in linguistic attitudes of the German administrators and the contemporary English missionaries led to English being a significant source of new words in preference to German. Milner (originally published in Lingua, vol 14:416-430 [1965]) examines some sets of doublets in Oceanic languages. He considers first the reflexes of palatal consonants, which posed problems for Dempwolff (1934-38). The doublets seem amenable to explanation as reflexes of pairs of words in the proto-language with consonants which either are pre-nasalised or are not. However, Dempwolff rejected this explanation due to the more limited distribution of homorganic nasal clusters in his reconstructed Proto-Indonesian in comparison to Oceanic. Milner gives additional evidence, and extends the argument to other (non-palatal) consonants in order to suggest that pre-nasalisation appears to have been an option for all consonants, at least in initial position, at some stage in the history of the Austronesian languages. His position is that the languages of the Oceanic branch, and also Malagasy (Western Malayo-Polynesian), are conservative in this respect. Dempwolff's tendency to place greater weight on evidence from the western branch of the family misled him in dealing with this problem. Samoan, which is briefly discussed in Lynch's paper, is the focus of the paper by Mosel which gives an overview of borrowing into that language. There are two areas of variation in the language which have interesting consequences for the phonological treatment of borrowed words. Firstly, there are two registers of the language, one of which consistently replaces the phoneme /t/ with /k/. The differentiation is socio-cultural: the K-register is associated with indigenous Samoan culture. Borrowed words therefore often have different forms in the two registers. For example, the English word 'teapot' becomes _tipoti_ in the T-register, but _kipoki_ in the K- register. However, some words with an original /t/ (or /d/) are commonly used in the T-register with a /k/. Mosel suggests that use of /k/ hides the English origin of the word, and is used to indicate that a word has been fully integrated into Samoan culture. Similar considerations apply to the treatment of /r/ in loan words. Samoan historically has no phoneme /r/, and this sound would be expected to become /l/. However, the actual results are more complex. There is a tendency for the T-register to retain /r/ and for the K-register to prefer /l/, but there are words which retain /r/ in both registers and other words which have /l/ in both. Mosel suggests that the explanation is again cultural: /r/ is retained for words which connote Christianity and European concepts, regardless of register, while use of /l/ indicates that a concept is considered as part of everyday Samoan life. (The following summaries deviate from the published order, which is by author's surname. Sperlich's paper therefore appears between Schütz and Tent.) Sperlich's paper discusses borrowing in the Niuean language under two heads: borrowing before and after European contact. The first topic is of interest as the position adopted by most scholars (e.g. Clark 1979) is that Niuean is a Tongic language, but with features which suggest the possibility of other influences. Sperlich examines in some detail the evidence proposed (especially by McEwen 1970) for borrowings from Eastern Polynesian into Niuean, and concludes that almost all the putative examples can be explained adequately by factors internal to Niuean. He therefore concludes that there is little support for extensive contact between Niue and Eastern Polynesia. After European contact, Samoa was an important influence as Christianity came to Niue via Samoa. Religious language therefore shows a strong Samoan influence, but there was little impact in the everyday language. After 1900, Niue was under the control of the British and then of New Zealand. Influences then came from the Cook Islands (that is Rarotonga), from Maori, and of course from English. The first two of these have left traces in contemporary Niuean, but the major impact is from English, to the extent that Sperlich believes that the Niuean language is endangered. Three papers (by Mugler, Schütz and Tent) deal with the complex linguistic ecology of Fiji, where the indigenous Fijian language co- exists with English and a variety of Hindi (Indo-Aryan), as well as several other languages with small speaker communities. Mugler discusses the role of Hindi and other Indian languages, both as sources for borrowing and as receptors. Fijian Hindi is the dominant language of the substantial Fijian population of Indian ethnic background, although the Dravidian languages Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam are also present. The imbalance between Hindi and the others is seen in the fact that although the Dravidian languages have borrowed some Hindi words, there has been little or no borrowing in the opposite direction (or from Dravidian languages into Fijian or English). Mugler also argues that loans from Fijian or English have only reached the Dravidian languages via Fijian Hindi. Mugler's other focus is on the vector of some early borrowings from English into Fijian Hindi. She suggests that some of these may have occurred in India, before the indentured Indian labourers were brought to Fiji, and that they therefore are more properly considered as items contributed to Fijian Hindi, viewed as a koiné, by one of its source languages. Schütz's paper examines English words borrowed into Fijian, and offers an account of the process of assimilation which takes prosody to the primary consideration. Fijian favours simple syllable structures without consonant clusters or codas; this is of course rather different to English phonotactic patterns. Schütz argues that, in adapting English patterns to Fijian, the crucial unit of analysis is what he terms 'measure'. Prosodic fit is accomplished ''not with individual consonants or vowels, or with syllables, but with a larger unit that is determined by accent'' (p263). (This description suggests to me that what Schütz calls 'the measure' is very similar to what many phonologists call 'the foot'.) The process of matching between the two languages works with these units; the assimilated Fijian word need not have the same number of syllables as the English source, but it should have the same number of accented units. Schütz gives numerous examples of how this process works. He also exemplifies the correspondences which are seen at the segmental level, and shows that where Fijian phonotactics require an additional vowel, the quality of the vowel can often be predicted from the preceding consonant. In recent data, Schütz finds examples of loan words in Fijian publications spelt more according to English phonotactics, that is with final consonants and consonant clusters. Such data raise the question of the relation between orthography and phonology: do these new examples show that the Fijian system is changing under the pressure of English? Finally, Tent's paper examines borrowing into Fijian English. Although English is the first language of only a very small proportion of the population (less than 2%), it has disproportionate influence as the main language of education, administration and the media, and is widely used as a lingua franca. Tent argues that the overall structure of the lexicon of Fijian English is similar to that of other post-colonial varieties of English. It is, however, unique because of the mix of sources which has contributed to its current state. In common with other Pacific varieties of English, it has nativised many indigenous words. And it shares the contribution of Hindi with varieties spoken in other former colonies where indentured labour was used. But the combination of these two factors is only found in Fiji. One phenomenon to which Tent draws attention, and which he suggests is often overlooked, is that of reborrowing. This occurs where a word has been borrowed from English to Fijian and nativised, and that form is then borrowed back into Fijian English, often with a semantic shift. An example of this process is the English word 'threepence', which is nativised in Fijian as _ciriveni_. This form has now been borrowed into Fijian English with the meaning 'miserly'. Tent also notes the presence of calques and hybrids in Fijian English and that the influence of Fijian in Fijian English is much greater than that of Hindi, not surprising given that the Indian community arrived in Fiji well after contact with Europeans commenced. EVALUATION This collection is a valuable source of information for scholars interested in language contact phenomena, and especially lexical borrowing. Although the studies here are restricted to a specific geographical area which is populated mainly by speakers of languages from a single family, there is nevertheless sufficient variety in the histories and social situations of the various languages discussed to ensure that each paper makes a distinct contribution. There are possible contributions which one can think of and regret not having, for example a paper on the Hawaiian situation and one on borrowing into New Zealand English, but the range of the collection as it stands is wide. The re-presentation of three previously-published papers in a relatively accessible location is another excellent feature of the book. My only reservation about this volume is that it gives the impression of being under-edited. By this, I do not mean that the physical presentation is problematic (there are some distracting typographical errors, but not a huge number); rather I mean that the editors' intention appears to have been to minimize their presence. There is no introduction to the collection and the contributions are arranged according to the authors' surnames. As regards the first point, I would have welcomed some editorial overview of the linguistic situation of the region, as varied as it is, and some indication of the contribution which the editors saw each paper as making. For example, I would have been very interested in their ideas as to why the paper by Milner was included. To this reader at least, this is an important paper on comparative Austronesian linguistics, but one with little to say directly about borrowing. And as to the second point, the relationships between the papers might have been clarified by a more thematic ordering. For example, as implied by my re-ordering for summarisation above, in the case of the papers about Fiji, the purely alphabetical organisation obscured the relationships between the papers. Perhaps the reviewer's strategy of reading the volume from beginning to end is unnatural in the case of such a book. However, if the typical reader will approach such a collection looking for specific information relating to a single theme, then the case for a thematic organisation is all the stronger.

Kirk, Dónall P. Ó Baoill and Raymond Cummings Queen's University Belfast, 30 August - 1 September 2006 The central questions to be addressed in this symposium are the following: * How is economic development being achieved through the language? * And how could it be done? * Are the agents at the grass roots with development being driven by communities bottom-up? * Or are the agents the various embodiments of the state (the Government, NGOs and Agencies, universities, the educational sector, broadcasting, and the media), driving development top-down? * Or is it up to laissez-faire enterpreneurism within the commercial sector to drive development through language? * Or are there other enterprises or initiatives which are bringing or could bring beneficial forces? For instance, Cultural tourism? Academic tourism? The symposium will also be interested in exploring the following areas: minority languages in the world of work; minority languages and the private sector; Labour Employment Law; 'the Irish language industry'; Gaelic as a language at work; the barriers to minority languages at work; the relationship between minority languages and the international economy; globalisation => monolingualism; need to consider macro-economic level as well as micro-economic and meso-economic levels; is the Gaelic economy only where Gaelic is spoken? Area economics vs. the economics of the individual as creator of wealth and payer of taxes; the minority language speaker as a fiscal unit. Are the discourses and perceptions about learning Gaelic economically-driven or economically-empowering? The symposium might also consider the effects of globalisation and the inhabitation of the local (language, culture, economy, work); globalisation vs. glocalisation.

Stylistics for Text Retrieval in Practice SIGIR 2006 Workshop Seattle, August 10, 2006 http://www.lingcog.iit.edu/style2006 style2006@sics.se Recent years have seen an increased attention to various aspects of automatic analysis and extraction of stylistic aspects of natural language texts. Style may be roughly defined as the 'manner' in which something is expressed, as opposed to the 'content' of a message. Modelling, representing, explaining, and utilizing variation in the manner of expression is the business of stylistic analysis. This workshop follows four previous successful exploratory events on stylistic analysis and will focus on the practical craft of stylistic analysis in natural language texts. THIS YEAR: BRING A DEMO! Potentially useful applications of stylistic analysis abound, including systems for genre-based information retrieval, authorship attribution, plagiarism detection, context-sensitive text or speech generation systems, organizing and retrieving documents based on their writing style, attitude, or sentiment, quality or appropriateness filters for messaging systems, detecting abusive or threatening language, and more. This year, participants are expected to bring with them a method for applying stylistic analysis to information access tasks. Before lunch, methods are discussed in session; after lunch, demonstrated in practice. DISCUSSION QUESTION Participants should address the following key challenge question in their participation proposals: * WHAT IS A MEANINGFUL ''KILLER APP'' FOR STYLISTIC TEXT ANALYSIS? * and consider the following questions for discussion in session: 1. How does style relate to other forms of non-topical textual variation? 2. What features are best for different style analysis tasks? 3. Is cross-lingual or 'universal' style analysis possible, and if so, how? 4. How might we develop useful shared resources for moving style research forward? SUBMISSION FORMAT Send us a statement (in PDF) of up to five pages describing your research or application with a short description (and screenshots if possible) of the demonstration you plan to show. At the workshop we will discuss and decide on an appropriate forum for a more permanent record of the proceedings. If you would like a speaking slot in the discussion session, you should indicate this in your statement of interest.

Plans for what promises to be an excellent Conference are now well advanced, and full details of the programme will be announced in the Third Circular. The academic programme will include plenary papers on the Gaelic of South Argyll (George Jones), the place-names of Islay (Margaret Storrie), the language of radical poets in the 1790s (Andrew Noble), the Islay poet William Livingstone (Donald Meek and Christopher Whyte) and Orwell and Jura (Christopher Small): the last mentioned will be presented during the conference trip, which will include a bus tour of Jura and if possible a visit to Orwell's house. Shorter presentations will be given in parallel sessions: to whet your appetite, the topics so far offered include ''Scottish 'clan' history and place-names in Ulster'', ''George Campbell Hay as a Scots Renaissance poet'', ''John Jamieson, father of Scottish lexicography'', ''Shetlanders speak -- Orcadians sing'', ''A universalist perspective on the Scottish varieties of English'' and ''Bilingualism and Modern Scottish Poetry''. The Seanchas Íle project being conducted at the Columba Centre will also be the subject of a presentation. There is still room on the programme for more papers, and the Committee would warmly encourage anyone who has not yet proposed a paper to consider doing so, using the attached form. The provisional programme is as follows: Tues 4 July: Arrivals and informal reception from 7.00 p.m. Wed 5 July: Morning and afternoon papers; conference dinner. Thurs 6 July: Whole-day excursion to Jura via Finlaggan and return via Distillery, with plenary papers en route. Fri 7 July: Morning and afternoon papers; evening concert. Sat 8 July: Morning and afternoon papers; final ceilidh. Sun 9 July: Departure. The conference fee is £100 (£80 for Forum members paid up for 2006, students and unwaged). This will cover all the academic sessions, the Tuesday evening reception, and morning and afternoon coffees on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday; and will also entitle delegates to full membership of the Forum for Research on the Languages of Scotland and Ulster for 2007. Separate charges will be made for lunches and the other social events (conference dinner, excursion, concert and ceilidh) and there will be a reduced fee for accompanying persons participating only in the social programme: the figures will be announced in the Third Circular, and collected from delegates at registration. Only those who respond to this call will receive the Third Circular. Full and final payment for the social events will be due by 15 June 2006. Advance payment is necessary because of the logistics involved and because we are organising the event from a distance; we hope you will be understanding and not too inconvenienced. As noted in the First Circular, delegates must make their own arrangements for accommodation; and those who have not yet attended to this are now urged to do so as soon as possible, as accommodation is limited, especially in Bowmore. Details from http://www.isle-of-islay.com/ We look forward to hearing from you. -------------------------Message 2 ---------------------------------- Date: Sun, 07 May 2006 16:42:24 From: Csilla Weninger < weninger@uga.edu > Subject: Linguistics in the 21st Century: Perspectives and Challenges Full Title: Linguistics in the 21st Century: Perspectives and Challenges Date: 28-Sep-2006 - 30-Sep-2006 Location: Athens, Georgia, USA Contact Person: William Kretzschmar Meeting Email: lingconf@uga.edu Web Site: http://www.linguistics.uga.edu/lingconf.htm Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics Call Deadline: 01-Jul-2006 Meeting Description: The goal of this conference is to identify key challenges for the discipline of linguistics as a whole as well as ways that we can work in an integrated fashion to meet these challenges. The conference has been designed to foster discussion and the exchange of ideas and the sharing of practical information among linguists and those in related fields who approach the study of language from a variety of perspectives. Over the course of the last century linguistics, like other disciplines, has become specialized and rather fragmented. Practically speaking, such specialization is necessary given the vast amount of concerns that the study of language entails. On the other hand, it might be considered that all of the approaches to the discipline are inherently interconnected. It seems a worthwhile enterprise, therefore, for the members of the discipline to take a step back and consider the levels on which the various perspectives taken may intersect and share mutually beneficial methodologies, information and concerns. As such, this conference has been designed to foster discussion and the exchange of ideas and the sharing of practical information among linguists and those in related fields who approach the study of language from a variety of perspectives. We hope that in doing so we can identify key challenges for the discipline as a whole as well as ways that we can work in an integrated f! ashion to meet these challenges.

Proposers should follow the guidelines below while preparing their submissions; proposals that deviate can not be considered. GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION: Anyone interested in lecturing or organizing a workshop during ESSLLI-2007, please read the following information carefully. ALL COURSES: Courses are taught by 1 or max. 2 lecturers. They consist of five sessions (a one-week course), each session lasting 90 minutes. Lecturers who want to offer a long, two-week course should structure it as two independent one week courses (ideally, with an introductory part in the first week of ESSLLI, and a more advanced part during the second). The ESSLLI program committee has the right to select only one of the two proposed courses. Timetable for Course Proposal Submission: Jun 15, 2006: Proposal Submission Deadline Sep 15, 2006: Notification Jun 1, 2007: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course material (by ESSLLI Local Organizers) FOUNDATIONAL COURSES: These are strictly elementary courses not assuming any background knowledge. They are intended for people to get acquainted with the problems and techniques of areas new to them. Ideally, they should allow researchers from other fields to acquire the key competences of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the development of a truly interdisciplinary research community. Foundational courses may presuppose some experience with scientific methods in general, so as to be able to concentrate on the issues that are germane to the area of the course. INTRODUCTORY COURSES: Introductory courses are central to the activities of the Summer School. They are intended to equip students and young researchers with a good understanding of a field's basic methods and techniques. Introductory courses in, for instance, Language and Computation, can build on some knowledge of the component fields; e.g., an introductory course in computational linguistics should address an audience which is familiar with the basics of linguistics and computation. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the level of the course as compared to standard texts in the area (if available). ADVANCED COURSES: Advanced courses should be pitched at an audience of advanced Masters or PhD students. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites in detail. WORKSHOPS: The aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for advanced Ph.D. students and other researchers to present and discuss their work. Workshops should have a well defined theme, and workshop organizers should be specialists in the theme of the workshop. It is a strict requirement that organizers give a general introduction during the first session of the workshop. They are also responsible for the organization and program of the workshop including inviting the submission of papers, reviewing, expenses of invited speakers, etc. Each workshop organizer will be responsible for producing the 1st Call for Papers in December, 2006. The call must make it clear that the workshop is open to all members of the LLI community. It should also note that all workshop contributors must register for the Summer School. TIMETABLE for Workshop Proposal Submissions Jun 15, 2006: Proposal Submission Deadline Sep 15, 2006: Notification Nov 15, 2005: Deadline for receipt of Call for Papers (by ESSLLI PC chair) Dec 1, 2006: Workshop organizers send out (First) Call for Papers Feb 15, 2007: Deadline for Papers (suggested) May 1, 2007: Notification of Workshop Contributors (suggested) Jun 1, 2007: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready copy of Workshop Proceedings (by ESSLLI Local Organizers) Notice that workshop speakers will be required to register for the Summer School; however, they will be able to register at a reduced rate to be determined by the Local Organizers. FORMAT FOR PROPOSALS: The web-based form for submitting course and workshop proposals will be accessible at http://www.folli.org/submission.php. You will be required to submit the following information: * Name (name(s) of proposed lecturer(s)/organizer) * Address (contact addresses of proposed lecturer(s)/organizer; where possible, please include phone and fax numbers) * Title (title of proposed course/workshop) * Type (is this a workshop, a foundational course, an introductory course, or an advanced course?) * Section (does your proposal fit in Language & Computation, Language & Logic or Logic & Computation? name only one) * Description (in at most 150 words, describe the proposed contents and substantiate timeliness and relevance to ESSLLI) * External funding (will you be able to find external funding to help fund your travel and accommodation expenses? if so, how?) * Further particulars (any further information that is required by the above guidelines should be included here; in particular, indicate here your teaching experience in an interdisciplinary field as the one addressed by ESSLLI.) FINANCIAL ASPECTS: Prospective lecturers and workshop organizers should be aware that all teaching and organizing at the summer schools is done on a voluntary basis in order to keep the participants fees as low as possible. Lecturers and organizers are not paid for their contribution, but are reimbursed for travel and accommodation (up to a fixed, maximum amount that will be notified to lecturers when courses are accepted). It should be stressed that while proposals from all over the world are welcomed, the Summer School cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs, especially from destinations outside Europe. Please note the following: In case a course is to be taught by two lecturers, a lump sum is reimbursed to cover travel and accommodation expenses for one lecturer. The splitting of the sum is up to the lecturers. The local organizers highly appreciate it if, whenever possible, lecturers and workshop organizers find alternative funding to cover travel and accommodation expenses, and such issues might be taken into account when selecting courses.

Style may be roughly defined as the 'manner' in which something is expressed, as opposed to the 'content' of a message. Modelling, representing, explaining, and utilizing variation in the manner of expression is the business of stylistic analysis. This workshop follows four previous successful exploratory events on stylistic analysis and will focus on the practical craft of stylistic analysis in natural language texts. THIS YEAR: BRING A DEMO! Potentially useful applications of stylistic analysis abound, including systems for genre-based information retrieval, authorship attribution, plagiarism detection, context-sensitive text or speech generation systems, organizing and retrieving documents based on their writing style, attitude, or sentiment, quality or appropriateness filters for messaging systems, detecting abusive or threatening language, and more. This year, participants are expected to bring with them a method for applying stylistic analysis to information access tasks. Before lunch, methods will be discussed in session; after lunch, demonstrated in practice. DISCUSSION QUESTION Participants should address the following key challenge question in their participation proposals: WHAT IS A MEANINGFUL "KILLER APP" FOR STYLISTIC TEXT ANALYSIS? and consider the following questions for discussion in session: 1. How does style relate to other forms of non-topical textual variation? 2. What features are best for different style analysis tasks? 3. Is cross-lingual or 'universal' style analysis possible, and if so, how? 4. How might we develop useful shared resources for moving style research forward? SUBMISSION FORMAT Send us a statement (in PDF) of up to five pages describing your research or application with a short description (and screenshots if possible) of the demonstration you plan to show. At the workshop we will discuss and decide on an appropriate forum for a more permanent record of the proceedings. If you would like a speaking slot in the discussion session, you should indicate this in your statement of interest.

It should be of interest to linguists who care about the state of the art in learning algorithms and in their application to understanding brain function. Submissions are solicited for the Twentieth Annual meeting of an interdisciplinary Conference (December 4-7, 2006) which brings together researchers interested in all aspects of neural and statistical processing and computation. The Conference will include invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers. It is single track and highly selective. Preceding the main Conference will be one day of Tutorials (December 4, 2006), and following it will be two days of Workshops at Whistler/Blackcomb ski resort (December 8 and 9, 2006). -------------------------Message 2 ---------------------------------- Date: Mon, 08 May 2006 16:46:31 From: Patrick Dendale < patrick.dendale@ua.ac.be > Subject: The Notion of Commitment in Linguistics / La Notion de Prise en Charge en Linguistique Full Title: The Notion of Commitment in Linguistics / La Notion de Prise en Charge en Linguistique Short Title: Commitment2007 Date: 11-Jan-2007 - 13-Jan-2007 Location: Antwerp, Belgium Contact Person: Patrick Dendale Meeting Email: commitment2007@ua.ac.be Web Site: http://www.ua.ac.be/commitment Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics Call Deadline: 20-Jun-2006 Meeting Description: (Non-)Commitment and in French (non-)prise en charge) are notions which are fairly often used in the analysis of certain types of linguistic phenomena but are hardly ever the subject of explicit investigation in their own right. This conference welcomes theoretical and empirical contributions within both the French and the Anglo-American linguistic tradition addressing the issue in its own right or in terms of its role in different linguistic phenomena. -Pour le texte français de description voir le site web du colloque (www.ua.ac.be/commitment). * The notion of commitment (Non-)Commitment ((non-)prise en charge in French) is a notion which is fairly often used in the analysis of certain types of linguistic phenomena (sometimes under the guise of other la-bels, such as performativity) - e.g. in the analysis of speech acts, of semantic categories such as modality, evidentiality and subjectivity, of different forms of reported speech, and of cer-tain tenses and moods. But it is hardly ever the subject of explicit investigation in its own right. * Goal of the conference The aim of this conference is to bring together research which crucially draws on the notion of (non-)commitment in one or another way, in an attempt to achieve a better understanding of the nature and the extension of the notion itself. It welcomes theoretical and empirical con-tributions addressing the issue in its own right or in terms of its role in any relevant linguistic or conceptual phenomenon, using any kind of methodological approach, and coming from any kind of theoretical background. One section of the conference will be devoted to typological contributions, next to other sections dealing with grammatical or lexical markers or strategies of (non-)commitment in the Romance and Germanic languages. * Theoretical problems pertaining to the notion The theoretical issues addressed in this conference can be summarized in terms of five central questions: A) To what does (non-)commitment apply? What are possible objects or (aspects of) ob-jects of (non-)commitment (elements of form, of meaning)? B) Who commits him/herself? Who is the agent of the commitment (which instance of the speaker)? C) When does (non-)commitment apply? Only at the moment of speech, or also at other times? D) What is the nature of (non-)commitment? Are there different forms or degrees of it? E) How is (non-)commitment taken? Under which conditions and by means of which forms, mechanisms or strategies is it signalled? * Conference languages In view of the fact that the notion of (non-)commitment or (non-)prise en charge ((non )responsibilité) is quite manifestly present in the French linguistic tradition (especially in the af-termath of the work of Benveniste), more so than in the Anglo-American tradition, the present conference also explicitly aims to establish communication on the issue between these 'geo-graphical' research traditions. Therefore, the conference will feature presentations in French as well as in English. * Deadline for abstract submission is June 20, 2006 * Format and evaluation of abstracts - Abstracts will be refereed anonymously. - Abstracts are to be submitted as an attachment in Word or Rich Text Format to an email sent to commitment2007@ua.ac.be. Your abstract should be in French or in English (please use the language of the actual presentation). It should not exceed 500 words (references not included). Please include the title but do not mention the name of the author(s). Use Times Roman 12 and single spacing, and make sure to embed TrueType Fonts for special characters (cf. typological studies). - The email accompanying the abstract should contain the title of the presentation (iden-tical to the title indicated on the abstract in the attachment), the name of the author(s), and their full coordinates (affiliation, postal address, email address). - Notification of acceptance/rejection: late August 2006. * Conference registration Registration fee: 80 Euro. Special registration fees apply to members of the Linguistic Society of Belgium, please check the website (www.bkl-cbl.be) for details. * Important dates Abstract deadline: June 20, 2006 Notification: late August 2006 Registration deadline: September 15, 2006 Second circular: September 2006 Conference dates: January 11-13, 2007 at the University of Antwerp (Belgium) * Conference website: www.ua.ac.be/commitment * For further information, please contact : Patrick Dendale Email: commitment2007@ua.ac.be Web : webhost.ua.ac.be/dendale University of Antwerp Department of Linguistics Universiteitsplein 1 B-2610 Anvers-Wilrijk Belgium Tél : +32 3 820 28 13 Fax : +32 3 820 28 23 ----------------------------------------------------------- LINGUIST List: Vol-17-1420 From - Thu Dec 10 14:22:55 2009 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Gmail-Received: 791089ff3284d547fc51537f59cdc5aad38a6c49 Delivered-To: jpprost@gmail.com Received: by 10.65.222.4 with SMTP id z4cs1769qbq; Tue, 9 May 2006 05:41:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.67.128.4 with SMTP id f4mr1955881ugn; Tue, 09 May 2006 05:41:02 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: Received: from noralf.uib.no (noralf.uib.no [129.177.30.12]) by mx.gmail.com with ESMTP id j1si3829907ugf.2006.05.09.05.40.59; Tue, 09 May 2006 05:41:02 -0700 (PDT) Received-SPF: pass (gmail.com: domain of owner-corpora@lists.uib.no designates 129.177.30.12 as permitted sender) Received: from blenda.uib.no [129.177.30.130] by noralf.uib.no with esmtp (Exim 4.34) id 1FdRWL-00075O-4x; Tue, 09 May 2006 14:40:57 +0200 Received: from majordomo by blenda.uib.no with local (Exim 4.60) id 1FdRcI-000Ayk-FM; Tue, 09 May 2006 14:47:06 +0200 Received: from alf.uib.no [129.177.30.3] by blenda.uib.no with esmtp (Exim 4.60) id 1FdRcI-000Ayf-1q; Tue, 09 May 2006 14:47:06 +0200 Received: from roman205096.klientdrift.uib.no [129.177.205.96] by alf.uib.no for CORPORA@UIB.NO with esmtp (Exim 4.34) id 1FdRWF-0004KK-LN; Tue, 09 May 2006 14:40:52 +0200 Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v623) To: CORPORA@UIB.NO Message-Id: <5083dd5c36f0b00daf0ed351af0175a8@roman.uib.no> Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=Apple-Mail-2--780057752 From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Anje_M=FCller_Gjesdal?= Subject: [Corpora-List] Call for papers - Arena Romanistica Date: Tue, 9 May 2006 14:39:10 +0200 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.623) X-checked-clean: by exiscan on alf X-Scanner: 2231a4883f44ad98acfdead15fce7b5d http://tjinfo.uib.no/virus.html X-UiB-SpamFlag: NO UIB: -9.4 hits, 8.0 required X-UiB-SpamReport: spamassassin found; -9.0 Message received from UIB -0.4 Did not pass through any untrusted hosts List-Id: Sender: owner-corpora@lists.uib.no Precedence: bulk --Apple-Mail-2--780057752 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; format=flowed ARENA ROMANISTICA Corpus and text linguistics in Romance languages Department of Romance Studies, University of Bergen, Norway Call for Papers Established late 2005, Arena Romanistica aims to be a refereed and=20 regularly published journal focusing on the current research in the=20 Romance languages, notably French, Spanish and Italian.

It brings together a number of French and foreign scholars working in the field of morphology in Toulouse, on the first week in December. The 2006 edition is organized in parallel with the Forum de Morphologie, a morphology conference organized in France since 1997. International Morphology Conference Forum de Morphologie - 5e Décembrettes Toulouse, December 7-8, 2006 Université de Toulouse - le Mirail Analogy and lexical pressure in morphology - First call for papers - The Forum de Morphologie originated from the collaboration of a group of French researchers in the domain. In 1997 it organized in Lille its first international morphology conference, which was followed by a second edition in Toulouse in 1999, and a third edition in Lille in 2002. The proceedings of these conferences were published in the Silexicales series at the University of Lille III. In parallel, the morphology component of the ERSS (UMR 5610) research unit organizes since 2002 the ''Décembrettes'', a morphology conference which takes place every year in Toulouse at the beginning of December, and which regularly gathers French and foreign researchers. In 2006 the two conferences will join to begin a single event called Forum de Morphologie / 5e Décembrettes, which will take place in Toulouse on December, 7-8. One of the two days of the conference will be devoted to a thematic session on ''Analogy and lexical pressure in morphology'', a topic both theoretically and descriptively crucial for our scientific community. The second day there will be a general session devoted to communications on any aspect of morphological research. The organizers invite contribution proposals for 20 minutes talks on any domain of morphological analysis; all theoretical perspectives are welcome. Method of submission: Abstracts, in English or in French, should be strictly anonymous and should contain no more than 1.000 words. On a separate sheet, contributors should indicate their name, affiliation and the e-mail address at which they wish to be contacted. Abstracts should be sent by e-mail (preferably in PDF format, or in RTF) to the following address: decembrettes@univ-tlse2.fr before May 31, 2006.

Second Call for Papers LEXICAL BOOTSTRAPPING IN CHILD LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AND CHILD CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT Theme session To be held at the SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE GERMAN COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS ASSOCIATION, Munich, 5-7 October 2006 PLEASE NOTE: - DEADLINE EXTENSION - CLARIFICATION ABOUT CONTENTS OF SUBMITTED ABSTRACTS - POSSIBILITY OF PUBLICATION Apart from some few exceptions (Brown 1958, Nelson 1973), the research on child lexical development did not receive much attention from students of child language in the 1960s and 1970s. In opposition to some statements found in the more recent literature (Rothweiler & Meibauer 1999), this fact is not really surprising when one considers the very influential role then played by formal linguistics with its primacy of syntactic structures and the view of lexicon and semantics as something rather epiphenomenal. From the 1980s on, this state of affairs has changed dramatically. For one thing, over the last 25 years or so, there has been more and more interest in topics related to child lexical acquisition. Over these several years, the research has issued many relevant theoretical insights resp. assumptions, and methodologies about lexical development, such as the view of individual differences in early vocabulary composition in terms of a continuum between referential and expressive style (Nelson 1973) and the holophrastic nature of early words (Nelson 1985), the differentiation between expressive and receptive vocabulary, as well as the use of correlational methods (Bates et al. 1988), or the role of domain-general cognitive skills of categorisation and theory of mind (Tomasello 2003), amongst several others. Secondly and most importantly, this body of research (much of which has been done within functionalist-cognitivist frameworks) seems to allow for the formulation of general assumptions concerning child language development in general, as well as the interplay between language and conceptual development. Thus, especially studies focussing on within- and cross-domain developmental correlations seem to provide evidence for a Lexical Bootstrapping Hypothesis (Dale et al. 2000, Dionne et al. 2003), i.e., the assumption that early lexical development, as mapping of words to referents or their conceptualisations, and even to whole propositions, is not only prior to, but also pre-requisite for the emergence of morpho-syntactic constructions (which, incidentally, are not fundamentally different from words, in that they are equally form-meaning pairs). The lexical bootstrapping hypothesis presupposes an early stage in lexical development characterized by the learning of archilexemes, a term originally proposed by Zemb (1978), as grammarless lexemes composed of form and concept only, here understood as the means by which the child begins to cognize and categorize the world. Such assumption on the fundamental role of early lexical acquisition for later language development as a whole challenges the view about the primacy of syntax over lexicon and semantics that has been postulated in these 50 years of formal linguistics. For our special paper session, we would like to invite researchers interested in an exploratory discussion about lexical bootstrapping in child language and conceptual development, and willing to present their own studies as contributions to this discussion. Empirical, methodological and theoretical contributions dealing with aspects of word learning in the one-word phase (and perhaps also before) that might predict diverse aspects of later language and conceptual development of typically developing and impaired children may focus on one or more of the following questions and topics (evidently, other suggestions are equally welcome): - How can measures of, and assumptions on, early lexical development (vocabulary size, vocabulary composition, vocabulary growth rate, vocabulary style, vocabulary spurt, critical mass, others?) be correlated to measures of later grammatical emergence and development (emergence and proportion of multi-word utterances, Mean Length of Utterance, development of inflectional paradigms and use of function words, realisation of argument constructions, others?) How reliable are such correlations? - How can the study of early lexical development shed light on the issue of individual variance and developmental language disorders? Can aspects of early word learning (expressive vs. referential style, dissimilar timing of vocabulary development, peculiarities in vocabulary composition, peculiarities in the conceptual mapping, others?) provide criteria for a differentiation between mere individual variance and developmental disorder, as well as for a differentiation between transient and persistent disorders? Can such aspects be used in the context of early diagnosis of such disorders? - Which cognitive processes underlie word learning as both word-to-concept mapping and categorization task? Are there constraints and principles at play? What is the nature of such constraints--are they domain (=language) specific or domain general? How are they related to later language and conceptual development? - Does a notion of lexical bootstrapping in language acquisition preclude other bootstrapping mechanisms in the stages before the emergence of grammar, such as prosodic, semantic, syntactic bootstrapping, or can interplay amongst these types of bootstrapping mechanisms be assumed? - Related to the last question, how does the child construct her mental lexicon? How is it structured--is this structure modular or network-like or anything else? Which processes of reorganisation are at work along development? - Can early words (at least partially) be seen as holophrases in that they (at least partially) refer to whole propositions? Which developmental change(s) takes place in the transition from holophrastic one-word utterances to multi-word utterances? - Which evidences can be drawn from studies of word learning in children with cognitive developmental disorders (Down Syndrome, Williams Syndrome, others?), as well as in blind and deaf children? - Which insights can be drawn from research based on (i) corpora analyses; (ii) computer learning simulations; (iii) neural activation in experimental situations, such as categorisation tasks; (iv) lexical/conceptual processing in adults with and without language disorders (e.g. aphasia)? - Which similarities, differences or peculiarities can be observed when comparing mono- and multilingual word learning, as well as comparing monolingual and cross-linguistic studies? Depending on the number of contributions, the special session will take place at one or two days of the conference. The theme session will be framed by a paper introducing the topic of lexical bootstrapping in child language and conceptual development and, again depending on the number of contributions, one or two discussion rounds. BEFORE SENDING IT, MAKE SURE PLEASE THAT YOUR ABSTRACT: - indicates EXPLICITLY how and to which extent YOUR STUDY IS RELATED TO THE HYPOTHESIS OF LEXICAL BOOTSTRAPPING in child language and conceptual development. Does your study support or refute the lexical bootstrapping hypothesis? If yes, how and to which extent? If not, why not? - is detailed, i.e., it is about 1000 WORDS LONG, not including list of references, tables, diagrams, etc.; - indicates explicitly and in detail the EMPIRICAL BASIS of your study; this holds also for theoretical works, i.e., theoretical work might rely, for instance, on empirical studies of other researchers, but please NOT SOLELY ON INTROSPECTIVE METHODS; - contains a LIST OF THE REFERENCES mentioned. DEADLINE EXTENSION The deadline for abstract submission was extended to 31 May 2006. Participants will be notified of the acceptance of their papers by 1 July 2006. Participants should send us an updated abstract of their papers by 21 September 2006.

The Media Panel of the International OSA Conference is pleased to announce a call for papers under the theme of 'Asian Media in Transition.' The Panel consists of four sub-panels, as shown below. If you wish to contribute to any one of the sub-panels, please visit the OSA Conference homepage , download the OSA proposal form, and send a 200-word abstract together with the form to . The deadline for abstract submission is 31 July 2006. The OSA conference committee plans to produce a refereed publication from the outcomes of the conference. For registration details, please visit the OSA homepage. Sub-Panel 1. New/On-line media (Chair: Ki Sung Kwak) The emergence of the new/online media (particularly the Internet) is driven by digital technologies, transforming not only the media landscape and media regulations, but the way people communicate. Potential papers can address issues surrounding the role of new/online media in the context of economic, political, social and/or technological development in Asia. Sub-Panel 2. Media-State Relations (Chair: Ki Sung Kwak) Potential papers may discuss the changing relationship between the state and the mass media in any countries in Asia where they have achieved or are achieving (partial) democracy. Sub-Panel 3. Media Discourse and Society (Chair: Keizo Nanri) This session welcomes contributions on the relationship between media discourse and society in Asia from a discursive perspective. Questions addressed might include: How do media discourses function in society and what have they achieved? Do media discourses maintain the status quo, and if so, how? Have media discourses acted as protagonists (or antagonists) in a society, and if so, how and why? Have media discourses changed a society? What contribution to society can media discourses make? Sub-Panel 4. Media and Popular culture (Chair: Ian McArthur and Seiko Yasumoto) Potential papers may discuss issues related to popular culture in the media. What do the messages conveyed in television drama, animation, and manga signify? This section has scope for discussing localization and globalization in mass media.

BEYOND IDIOMS AND LANGUAGES Call for a collective volume. In the history of scholarship, scholars daily practicing vernacular idioms have successively been writing and/or speaking Latin and English as the vehicular languages used to communicate texts and ideas. Somewhere between archiphonemes/archisemes and metalanguages, which could be considered semi-synonyms, the 'epilanguages' are the linguistic realities and results generated by the use of a second language for scholarly and scientific purposes. What kind of thought does a scholar produce when (s)he uses these epilanguages (mostly Latin or English)? How does (s)he think, and what does (s)he write? How differently does his/her thinking and writing work when (s)he uses the vehicular (epilinguistic) tools? The contributors of this volume are invited to investigate how in the present and in the past the conceptual and linguistic shifting from the vernacular to the vehicular has generated what we could call an 'epilinguistic' way of thinking. To what extent are the texts created in this way more far-distant from their mental sources, even maybe sounding 'schizophrenic' (i. e. cut-off from reality), than the texts the same scholar would write in his own idiom? What are the specific characteristics of these texts: objectivity, cerebrality, artificiality, epiphenomenality, coldness, impersonality, conventionality, formularity, stereotypicality, or other traits we may think of? The contributors are invited to question their own experience as much as the historical examples available at the different centuries of history of scholarship. All the fields of science and knowledge (outside of philology and linguistics themselves) can be explored. The language of the volume is English. The proposals (paper titles and abstracts) are expected to be submitted before June 2007, and the completed essays due June 2009, for a publication planned in 2010.

On the other hand, the correct interpretation of anaphora has played an increasingly vital role in real-world natural language processing applications, including machine translation, automatic abstracting, information extraction and question answering. As a result, the processing of anaphora has become one of the most productive topics of multi- and inter-disciplinary research, and has enjoyed increased interest and attention in recent years. In this context, the Discourse Anaphora and Anaphor Resolution Colloquia (DAARC) have emerged as the major regular forum for presentation and discussion of the best research results in this area. Initiated in 1996 at Lancaster University and taken over in 2002 by the University of Lisbon, the DAARC series established itself as a specialised and competitive forum for the presentation of the latest results on anaphora processing, ranging from theoretical linguistic approaches through psycholinguistic and cognitive work to corpus studies and computational modelling. The sixth Discourse Anaphora and Anaphor Resolution Colloquium (DAARC’2007) will take place in Lagos (Algarve), Portugal, in March 29-30, 2007. We would like to invite anyone currently researching in the areas of discourse anaphora and anaphor resolution, from any methodological perspective or framework, to submit a paper to DAARC'2007. The closing date for submission is October 16, 2006. Notification of acceptance will be sent by December 15, 2006. Final versions of selected papers to be included in the proceedings are expected by January 19, 2007. Submissions (extended abstracts) must be anonymous and at most 3 pages in length.

Abstracts for papers or posters in any area of linguistics are welcome, although proposals on the theme are particularly encouraged, as are proposals dealing with language issues of special interest in the Southwest. Proposals for complete panels with 2-4 speakers are also welcome. Early submission of panel proposals is desirable. Presentation time for papers will be twenty minutes plus ten minutes for discussion. Abstracts may be in English or Spanish. Presentations should be given in the same language as the abstract. Only one abstract as single author and a second as co-author will be accepted from any one individual. Submissions by graduate students are welcome, and students are eligible for the Helmut Esau Prize, a $250 cash award. Abstracts should be 250-500 words, single-spaced in 11 point Times New Roman font. Abstracts should summarize the main points and indicate key aspects of the data and methodology. Use of special font items should be kept to a minimum. In general, omit the bibliography. At the conference, abstracts will be distributed as received. At the beginning of the abstract, write the title of the paper. At the end of the abstract, repeat the title and also list the author's name (if more than one author, list names in the order they should appear in the program), academic affiliation, mailing address, telephone number, and e-mail. If the author will not be available at his/her usual address or e-mail during the summer, provide summer contact information in the cover e-mail. Also note whether any A-V equipment will be needed. Abstracts should be e-mailed to lasso2006@tamiu.edu as a PDF, Microsoft Word, RTF, or text file attachment. Special font items travel best as a PDF. In addition to sending the abstract as an attachment, please paste the text of the abstract into the e-mail message itself. Authors without access to e-mail may mail a disk copy accompanied by a paper copy to LASSO VP Kati Pletsch de García, Texas A&M International University, 5201 University Blvd, Laredo, TX 78041. Authors will receive a reply notifying them that their abstracts are under consideration. If such notification has not been received within one week, the abstract did not reach its destination and should be resent. Authors will be notified by early July as to whether their papers have been accepted.

RATIONNEL La marque lexicographique peut être descriptive ou normative. Elle a toujours une fonction de catégorisation, de marginalisation ou dexclusion. Ce colloque a pour but, dune part, de réfléchir sur le concept de marque dans loptique de ces trois fonctions. Dautre part, la pléthore des dictionnaires spécialisés et le développement des dictionnaires électroniques nous invitent à reconsidérer le rôle de la marque. Ainsi les dictionnaires spécialisés la déplacent de la périphérie (la marge) vers le centre, cf. par exemple, la marque diatopique (avec les dictionnaires de topolectes), la marque diastratique (avec les dictionnaires dargot), etc. La marque joue alors un rôle d-inclusion-. Quant à linformatique, elle ouvre dautres voies pour le traitement de la marque, les liens hypertextuels créant de nouvelles possibilités. Ces considérations incitent donc à poser les questions suivantes : dans les différentes approches lexicographiques et les différents dictionnaires, quelles orientations prend le traitement de la marque lexicographique à lheure actuelle ? Quel est le statut de la marque au XXIe siècle ? Sous quelles formes la présenter ? A-t-elle encore une fonction ? etc. Durant ces trois jours, nous vous invitons à présenter vos travaux et réflexions sur ce thème, à ébaucher des réponses à ces questions ainsi quà en soulever d'autres. Les communications doivent avoir un lien avec la langue française : réflexions basées sur le lexique français, sur le lexique français en comparaison avec dautres lexiques, sur des lexiques bilingues français-autres langues, etc. MODES DE PARTICIPATION : - Conférences plénières sur invitation : Les conférenciers seront Igor Melcuk (Université de Montréal), Bert Peeters (Université de Tasmanie) et Jean-Claude Anscombre (CNRS). - Interventions de 20 minutes (+ 10 minutes réservées à la discussion).

Although the focus of this panel is primarily on face-saving, papers related to the myriad locutionary forms, illocutionary functions, and perlocutionary effects of language communication and communication systems in postcolonial contexts are welcome as well. Papers dealing with natural discourse and issues of cultural displacement, migration, hybridity, diaspora, and the role of public and government media in shaping perceptions of postcolonial history, politics, and regional, ethnic, and social identities will also be considered. With its emphasis on communication and issues of identity, agency, understanding, and empowerment in different postcolonial contexts, this panel wishes to provide a common platform for interdisciplinary cooperation between scholars of different persuasions with interests in language, communication, and postcolonial questions.

Bremen http://www.fb10.uni-bremen.de/sle2006/ Universalism and relativism in face-saving: Focus on postcolonial contexts Richard W. Janney (University of Munich) janney@lmu.de Eric A. Anchimbe (University of Munich) anchimbe_eric@yahoo.com The main question this panel wishes to address is: to what extent are the patterns of face-saving claimed by Brown and Levinson (1978) really universal? Since the publication of Brown and Levinson's work, several other works have been published that describe patterns of politeness and face-saving in Non-western cultures that are distinctly different from those in Western cultures. Although some researchers have discussed politeness in certain African and Asian cultures, it is still not established if the further mix of languages and linguistic identities created by colonialism play a significant role in the way speakers in multilingual postcolonial speech communities produce and react to speech acts related to politeness and face-saving. This issue is particularly complex, because language use and abuse play important roles in many areas of postcolonial life. Language can be a powerful mediator of understanding, empowerment, and solidarity, or a source of repression, disempowerment, and discrimination. Choices of what and how (and in what languages) things are expressed stand at the centre of postcolonial pragmatic interest. If certain face-saving strategies (hedging, complimenting, understating, distancing, etc.) are relatively uniform in Western cultures, as Brown and Levinson claim, how are these realised in postcolonial contexts? What happens to these strategies among speakers who have complex, hybrid linguistic identities built on mixtures of foreign languages imposed during colonialism, indigenous languages, and the languages of wider communication (Pidgins and Creoles)? Do speakers adopt situational faces, using the different languages (and with these, identities) at their disposal to project such faces? Or do they adopt stabile face-saving patterns specific to one language and culture in their daily communication? Answers to these questions could be found by analyzing everyday face-to-face discourse, political and institutional discourse, print media discourse, literary discourse, and all forms of electronically mediated communication.

A theme session at DGKL-06 (Meeting of the German Cognitive Linguistics Association), Munich, Germany, 5-7 October 2006 http://webapp.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/~DGKL/gcla_2006.shtml http://www.kognitive-sprachforschung.lmu.de/ !!! NEW DEADLINE EXTENSION for abstract submission: 31st May 2006 !!! Work with empirical data is important, if not essential, to cognitive linguistics. Electronic corpora of written texts or transcriptions of speech are increasingly used and sometimes purposefully collected by linguists in their investigations of phenomena such as metaphor, metonymy, idioms, and frames. During their work, some linguists also compile - more or less private - electronic archives of phenomena studied in cognitive linguistics: searchable lists, classifications, databases. Moreover, they have to deal with these phenomena - usually in cooperation with computational linguists and computer scientists - when building general lexicon resources for the automatic treatment of language. Problems that arise when working with corpora are connected to the way they are prepared for and processed by the corpus tools (concordancers, corpus managers). For example, in spite of some attempts in computational linguistics to detect metaphors in running texts, no corpus manager disposes of a ''Show all metaphors'' function. Rather, in order to search a corpus for metaphors, linguists will devise their own methods, be they theory-based or data-driven. Other problems arise when creating project-specific as well as more general archives of language usage examples classified by cognitive linguistic criteria. Here, linguists decide which criteria they use in their classifications and which features of the archived data they annotate. These decisions are often made at a project-specific basis and therefore different classifications might be difficult to compare. At a larger scale, this also applies to general linguistic resources developed for Human Language Technology applications. The decisions taken during linguistic resource-building may then be evaluated - by the resource developers or others -, based on large quantities of data encoded in the resources themselves. Evaluations of this kind are at the same time test-beds for theories put forth in cognitive linguistics, and their results provide valuable feedback for theory development. In this theme session, we would like to discuss methods of exploiting electronic corpora for any cognitive linguistic research, not restricted to the phenomena mentioned above, as well as practical experiences with resource building in cognitive linguistics. We also invite contributions that evaluate the implications of data encoded in computational resources, from the viewpoint of cognitive linguistic theory.

A theme session at DGKL-06 (Meeting of the German Cognitive Linguistics Association), Munich, Germany, 5-7 October 2006 http://webapp.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/~DGKL/gcla_2006.shtml http://www.kognitive-sprachforschung.lmu.de/ !!! NEW DEADLINE EXTENSION for abstract submission: 31st May 2006 !!! Work with empirical data is important, if not essential, to cognitive linguistics. Electronic corpora of written texts or transcriptions of speech are increasingly used and sometimes purposefully collected by linguists in their investigations of phenomena such as metaphor, metonymy, idioms, and frames. During their work, some linguists also compile - more or less private - electronic archives of phenomena studied in cognitive linguistics: searchable lists, classifications, databases. Moreover, they have to deal with these phenomena - usually in cooperation with computational linguists and computer scientists - when building general lexicon resources for the automatic treatment of language. Problems that arise when working with corpora are connected to the way they are prepared for and processed by the corpus tools (concordancers, corpus managers). For example, in spite of some attempts in computational linguistics to detect metaphors in running texts, no corpus manager disposes of a ''Show all metaphors'' function. Rather, in order to search a corpus for metaphors, linguists will devise their own methods, be they theory-based or data-driven. Other problems arise when creating project-specific as well as more general archives of language usage examples classified by cognitive linguistic criteria. Here, linguists decide which criteria they use in their classifications and which features of the archived data they annotate. These decisions are often made at a project-specific basis and therefore different classifications might be difficult to compare. At a larger scale, this also applies to general linguistic resources developed for Human Language Technology applications. The decisions taken during linguistic resource-building may then be evaluated - by the resource developers or others -, based on large quantities of data encoded in the resources themselves. Evaluations of this kind are at the same time test-beds for theories put forth in cognitive linguistics, and their results provide valuable feedback for theory development. In this theme session, we would like to discuss methods of exploiting electronic corpora for any cognitive linguistic research, not restricted to the phenomena mentioned above, as well as practical experiences with resource building in cognitive linguistics. We also invite contributions that evaluate the implications of data encoded in computational resources, from the viewpoint of cognitive linguistic theory.

On the other hand, the correct interpretation of anaphora has played an increasingly vital role in real-world natural language processing applications including machine translation, automatic abstracting, information extraction and question answering. As a result, the processing of anaphora has become one of the most productive topics of multi- and inter-disciplinary research, and has enjoyed increased interest and attention in recent years. In this context, the Discourse Anaphora and Anaphor Resolution Colloquia (DAARC) have emerged as the major regular forum for presentation and discussion of the best research results in this area. Initiated in 1996 at Lancaster University and taken over in 2002 by the University of Lisbon, the DAARC series established itself as a specialised and competitive forum for the presentation of the latest results on anaphora processing, ranging from theoretical linguistic approaches through psycholinguistic and cognitive work to corpus studies and computational modelling. The sixth Discourse Anaphora and Anaphor Resolution Colloquium (DAARC'2007) will take place in Lagos (Algarve), Portugal, in March 29-30, 2007. We would like to invite anyone currently researching in the areas of discourse anaphora and anaphor resolution, from any methodological perspective or framework, to submit a paper to DAARC'2007. The closing date for submission is October 16, 2006. Notification of acceptance will be sent by December 15, 2006. Final versions of selected papers to be included in the proceedingsare expected by January 19, 2007. Submissions (extended abstracts) must be anonymous and at most 3 pages in length.

Contextualisms The fact that the truth of various kinds of sentences appears to vary with context has been explained, or explained away, in diverse ways, ranging from moderate to radical semantic contextualism, from speech act pluralism to rejection of the notion of semantic content. In this workshop, we propose to focus on contextualist explanations and on the questions, of interest for both philosophers and linguists, that stem from their critical consideration, such as: Is there convincing evidence for semantic contextualism? Is any non-contextualist explanation of the data more adequate than contextualist ones? Are there substantial differences or not among contextualist approaches to semantics? How do contextualist approaches affect the received truth-conditional and compositional view of meaning? How is the context-sensitivity of lexical meaning to be dealt with in lexical semantics? What relationship there is in contextualist approaches, between linguistic meaning and thought? Do contextualist approaches to semantics entail relativism? How should context be defined and delimited? Authors should submit an anonymous abstract of 2 pages together with a separate page specifying the authors' name, affiliation, address, and e-mail address. Submissions must be in English, which is the workshop language. We will accept e-mail submissions in Word, rtf, or pdf, or plain paper abstracts (three copies). Electronic submission is greatly encouraged. The deadline for submissions is July 20, 2006, and notification of acceptance can be expected around August 1, 2006. Abstracts should be sent to: engdept@fujijoshi.ac.jp (your message title should be 'workshop on contextualisms') or to: Department of English Language and Culture, Fuji Women's University, Kita 16 Nishi 2, Kita-ku, Sapporo, 001-0016.

A key technology, which is employed to overcome this problem is Natural Language Processing, because most of the content of the web is still textual. Any support for automatic and semi-automatic extraction, elicitation of metadata to such content will be of great assistance to the authors and users of the web content. The workshop aims at being a forum for researchers to present their work in the area of semantic annotation, key word extraction, practical compositional semantics etc. It will provide an opportunity to present and discuss original methods for identification of metadata in text, semantic annotation of text, dealing with multilingual content, interconnecting metadata with ontologies, etc. Topics of interest are connected with, but not limited to the following suggestions: - standards for metadata - extraction of metadata from texts - metadata and ontologies - extraction of concepts and keyphrases from text - metadata in a multilingual environment Important dates Deadline for workshop abstract submission: 20th May 2006 Notification of acceptance: 24th June 2006 Final version of paper: 30th July 2006 Workshop: 12th September 2006 Invited Speaker Paul Buitelaar, DFKI Submissions Papers should describe existing research connected to the topics of the workshop. The presentation at the workshop will be 30 minutes long (25 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for questions and discussion). Each submission should show: title; author(s); affiliation(s); and contact author's e-mail address, postal address, telephone and fax numbers. Extended abstracts (maximum 1500 words, plain-text format) should be sent to: Petya Osenova Email: petya@bultreebank.org We encourage also demonstration of tools.

Such a convergence can be observed from several angles; for example, new modes of access to documents' contents place greater emphasis on exploiting discourse structure; applying corpus analysis methods to discourse calls for greater use of NLP techniques. It is manifest in the increasing number of joint studies, and results in cross fertilisation of the disciplines. * Text and discourse linguistics Constructing a coherent interpretation of discourse involves delimiting segments, and identifying semantico-pragmatic relations and structures that bind them. These processes may be approached via the notions of discourse relations (cf. RST, SDRT), of theme or topic, of discourse framing, etc. A major challenge for the field is to identify linguistic correlates of specific discourse functions in text corpora, taking into account potential register- and domain-linked variation. Another promising research area focuses on the global structure of documents: role of titles, “logical structure”, or layout, to name a few. * Document engineering and NLP Access to the information stored in electronic documents is a major issue, and recent approaches seek to take better account of the organisation of the documents being processed – such as their thematic and rhetorical structure. A growing number of applications are concerned by this evolution: automatic summarisation, document browsing, information retrieval (e.g. for passage extraction from selected documents). In addition, hypertextual and composite documents raise new questions about the interaction between semiotic functions (text-image for instance). For this special issue of TAL, we invite papers from researchers working in the fields of discourse linguistics, computational linguistics and document engineering on what can be termed the “document level”, whereby: – the document is envisaged as a functional unit, situated in a specific setting, and actualised in a medium (whatever its nature) which confers on it material characteristics which are an integral part of the use and sense made of it; – the expression “document level” signals a marked interest in coarse grain structures, or “global” structures (so-called “logical” structure, document structure, organisation in sections…), or in the interaction between local and global structures (reference chains, topical chains, inter-propositional relations, etc.). It indicates a specific interest in “top down” approaches based on the exploitation of surface cues or markers. Specific topics include (non-exhaustive list): - Analysis of discourse structures; - Analysis of the structure of composite documents (text-images, text-graphics); - Impact of hypertextual or hyperdocument organisation on the way documents are produced and understood. Hypertext formatting, computational tools based on NLP procedures; - Reading models, discourse organisation models; - Computational experimentation as a means of testing hypotheses on corpora; - Preliminary corpus studies: identification and annotation of discourse structures; - Computational devices for such experimental approaches (formalising linguistic knowledge, ensuring re-usability of resources, articulating levels of processing, visualising annotations); - Articulating approaches using linguistic markers, domain knowledge, statistical techniques; - Applications: intra-document information retrieval, browsing aids, document summarisation or synthesis, etc. THE JOURNAL (see http://www.atala.org/) TAL (Traitement Automatique des Langues/Natural Language Processing) is a forty year old international journal edited by ATALA (French Association for Natural Language Processing) with the support of CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research). It is now moving over to an electronic mode of publication, with printing on demand. This will in no way affect the reviewing and selection process. LANGUAGE Manuscripts may be submitted in English or French. French-speaking authors are requested to submit in French.

Grammatical inference has been extensively addressed by researchers in information theory, automata theory, language acquisition, computational linguistics, machine learning, pattern recognition, computational learning theory and neural networks. ICGI-2006 will be the first conference in this series to be held in Asia. Further, as in the previous ICGI conference, we are planning to hold a grammatical inference competition that will be known as the Tenjinno competition as part of ICGI-2006. # INVITED TALKS # Yuji Matsumoto (Nara Institute of Science and Technology) "Parsing without grammar rules" Jean-Philippe Vert (Ecole des Mines de Paris) "Kernel methods for classification of biological sequences" # AREAS OF INTEREST # The conference seeks to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of original research papers on all aspects of grammatical inference including, but not limited to: * Different models of grammar induction: e.g., learning from examples, learning using examples and queries, incremental versus non-incremental learning, distribution-free models of learning, learning under various distributional assumptions, learnability results, complexity results, characterizations of representational and search biases of grammar induction algorithms. * Algorithms for induction of different classes of languages and automata: e.g., regular, context-free, and context-sensitive languages, interesting subclasses of the above under additional syntactic constraints, tree and graph grammars, picture grammars, multidimensional grammars, attributed grammars, parameterized models, etc. * Theoretical and experimental analysis of different approaches to grammar induction including artificial neural networks, statistical methods, symbolic methods, information-theoretic approaches, minimum description length, complexity-theoretic approaches, heuristic methods, etc. * Broader perspectives on grammar induction, e.g. acquisition of grammar in conjunction with language semantics, semantic constraints on grammars, language acquisition by situated agents and robots, acquisition of language constructs that describe objects and events in space and time, developmental and evolutionary constraints on language acquisition, statistical modelling of natural language, etc. Particular emphasis will be given to papers presenting work on innovative applications of grammar induction in natural language acquisition, computational biology, Web mining, structural pattern recognition, information retrieval, text processing, adaptive intelligent agents, systems modelling and control, and other domains. # LOCATION # ICGI-2006 will be held in Chofu, Tokyo. The conference will be located in The University of Electro-Communications (UEC) (http://www.uec.ac.jp/eng/). # CONFERENCE FORMAT # The conference will include plenary and invited talks, software demonstrations and possibly poster presentations of accepted papers and tutorials. A special session will be devoted to the results of the Tenjinno competition. All plenary and invited papers will appear in the conference proceedings. The proceedings of ICGI-2006 will be published by Springer-Verlag as a volume in their Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, a subseries of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. # SUBMISSION OF PAPERS # Prospective authors are invited to submit a draft paper which represents original and previously unpublished work. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. The paper should be written in English with the following format.

The organisers of the panel have recently been researching the use of antonyms in discourse (in English and Swedish), but we define 'lexical contrast' broadly and would be interested in hearing about research related to: - functions of antonyms/lexical opposition in discourse - the contexts/constructions that coerce opposite readings in word pairs(e.g. synonyms, hyponyms, incompatibles) - discourse properties of using morphological antonyms vs. lexical antonyms vs. syntactic negation - cross-linguistic/cross-cultural studies - methodological/technological innovations in studying contrast in discourse If interested, please send a brief summary of the work you would want to present in such a panel tolynnem@sussex.ac.uk by the end of June 2006.

NEW DEADLINE for abstracts submission: 31st May 2006 !!! Work with empirical data is important, if not essential, to cognitive linguistics. Electronic corpora of written texts or transcriptions of speech are increasingly used and sometimes purposefully collected by linguists in their investigations of phenomena such as metaphor, metonymy, idioms, and frames. During their work, some linguists also compile - more or less private - electronic archives of phenomena studied in cognitive linguistics: searchable lists, classifications, databases. Moreover, they have to deal with these phenomena - usually in cooperation with computational linguists and computer scientists - when building general lexicon resources for the automatic treatment of language. Problems that arise when working with corpora are connected to the way they are prepared for and processed by the corpus tools (concordancers, corpus managers). For example, in spite of some attempts in computational linguistics to detect metaphors in running texts, no corpus manager disposes of a ''Show all metaphors'' function. Rather, in order to search a corpus for metaphors, linguists will devise their own methods, be they theory-based or data-driven. Other problems arise when creating project-specific as well as more general archives of language usage examples classified by cognitive linguistic criteria. Here, linguists decide which criteria they use in their classifications and which features of the archived data they annotate. These decisions are often made at a project-specific basis and therefore different classifications might be difficult to compare. At a larger scale, this also applies to general linguistic resources developed for Human Language Technology applications. The decisions taken during linguistic resource-building may then be evaluated - by the resource developers or others -, based on large quantities of data encoded in the resources themselves. Evaluations of this kind are at the same time test-beds for theories put forth in cognitive linguistics, and their results provide valuable feedback for theory development. In this theme session, we would like to discuss methods of exploiting electronic corpora for any cognitive linguistic research, not restricted to the phenomena mentioned above, as well as practical experiences with resource building in cognitive linguistics. We also invite contributions that evaluate the implications of data encoded in computational resources, from the viewpoint of cognitive linguistic theory. Please send only detailed abstracts (2 pages), in which you make clear how your study is related to the topics indicated. The deadline for abstract submission is 31st May 2006. Participants will be notified of the acceptance of their papers by 15th July 2006. Please send your abstracts exclusively as email attachments (pdf- or rtf-files) to: Antonietta Alonge (Perugia) anto.alonge@unipg.it Birte Lönneker-Rodman (Hamburg) birte.loenneker@uni-hamburg.de ----------------------------------------------------------- LINGUIST List: Vol-17-1500 From - Thu Dec 10 14:22:55 2009 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Gmail-Received: 8167198f33b47aa93e5f167b3a1e0faeb4e1afd1 Delivered-To: jpprost@gmail.com Received: by 10.65.222.4 with SMTP id z4cs295748qbq; Wed, 17 May 2006 22:45:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.67.101.10 with SMTP id d10mr230893ugm; Wed, 17 May 2006 22:44:51 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: Received: from noralf.uib.no (noralf.uib.no [129.177.30.12]) by mx.gmail.com with ESMTP id k2si613786ugf.2006.05.17.22.44.48; Wed, 17 May 2006 22:44:51 -0700 (PDT) Received-SPF: pass (gmail.com: domain of owner-corpora@lists.uib.no designates 129.177.30.12 as permitted sender) Received: from blenda.uib.no [129.177.30.130] by noralf.uib.no with esmtp (Exim 4.34) id 1FgbIz-00023t-3w; Thu, 18 May 2006 07:44:13 +0200 Received: from majordomo by blenda.uib.no with local (Exim 4.60) id 1FgbOu-0009X5-QF; Thu, 18 May 2006 07:50:20 +0200 Received: from rolf.uib.no [129.177.30.19] by blenda.uib.no with esmtp (Exim 4.60) id 1FgbOu-0009X0-C9; Thu, 18 May 2006 07:50:20 +0200 Received: from isuela.unizar.es [155.210.1.49] by rolf.uib.no for CORPORA@UIB.NO with esmtp (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.34) id 1FgbIp-0002rJ-8N; Thu, 18 May 2006 07:44:07 +0200 Received: from CARLOS-ZS984T63.unizar.es (174.Red-83-36-159.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net [83.36.159.174]) (authenticated bits=0) by isuela.unizar.es (8.13.4/8.13.4/Debian-3sarge1) with ESMTP id k4I5hUSg015158 for ; Thu, 18 May 2006 07:43:57 +0200 Message-Id: <6.2.3.4.0.20060518073751.03fd4740@posta.unizar.es> X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 6.2.3.4 X-Priority: 2 (High) Date: Thu, 18 May 2006 07:43:19 +0200 To: CORPORA@UIB.NO From: Carlos Inchaurralde Subject: [Corpora-List] New deadline SEPLN 2006: May 20, 2006 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=====================_155420843==.ALT" X-Mail-Scanned: Criba 2.0 + Clamd & Spamassassin X-checked-clean: by exiscan on rolf X-Scanner: 3727159532b78a014c720c1bfc95f3d5 http://tjinfo.uib.no/virus.html X-UiB-SpamFlag: NO UIB: 0.3 hits, 8.0 required X-UiB-SpamReport: spamassassin found; 0.1 Received: contains a forged HELO 0.0 BODY: HTML included in message 0.3 BODY: Message is 10% to 20% HTML List-Id: Sender: owner-corpora@lists.uib.no Precedence: bulk --=====================_155420843==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 22nd Conference of the Spanish Society for Natural Language Processing= (SEPLN) University of Zaragoza, Zaragoza (Spain), 13 to 15 September 2006 -- Deadline for proposals: 20th of May 2006 -- Call for Papers The 22nd Conference of the Spanish Society for=20 Natural Language Processing will take place in=20 Zaragoza (Spain) from the 13rd to the 15th of=20 September 2006.

NL-interfaces enable the user to communicate with the computer in French, English, German, or another human language. Their applications invole database queries, information retrieval from texts, so-called expert systems, and robot control. Communication with computers using speech has a lasting impact upon the work environment, completely new areas of application for information technology are opening up. Recent advances in speech recognition improve the usability of many types of NL-systems: Today's state-of-the-art NL-systems combine speech with other modes of communication such as pointing with mouse or finger. In addition, due to the vital interest from telecommunications industry, much research is done on the paralinguistic level, where features of the users' speech are exploited for user model acquisition. The Special Session on Natural Language Processing for Real Life Applications will cover the following topics (but is not limited to): 1. speech recognition, in particular * multilingual speech recognition * large vocabulary continuous speech recognition with focus on the application 2. real life dialog systems * natural language dialog systems * multimodal dialog systems 3. speech-based classification * speaker classification, i.e. exploiting paralinguistic features of the speech to gather information about the speaker (for example age, gender, cognitive load, and emotions) * language and accent identification Paper Submission Please submit papers for the special session directly to the session chair (christian.mueller@dfki.de). DO NOT submit the papers through the IASTED website. Otherwise, the papers will be handled as general papers for the conference. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. The final selection of papers for the session will be done by the session chair; acceptance/rejection letters and review comments along with registration information will be provided by IASTED by the general Notification deadline.

TENTH BIENNIAL UNIVERSITY OF SEVILLE CONFERENCE ON APPLIED LINGUISTICS (ELIA) Issues in teaching, learning, and using vocabulary in an L2 (English/Spanish) University of Seville, Spain March 14-16, 2007 PROPOSAL FORM FOR PAPERS AND WORKSHOPS PERSONAL AND ACADEMIC INFORMATION Family name and first name Address ______________________________________________________________________ Town _________________ Country ______________________ Postal/ Zip code _______ Phone______________________ e-mail__________________________Fax _______________ Institutional affiliation and present position Latest degree obtained, institution, and year INFORMATION ON PRESENTATION (PAPER OR WORKSHOP) Title (max. 15 words) - Paper - Workshop Specific area(s) of applied linguistics addressed Language of presentation: ________________________ (same as in title above) Equipment required: - VHS Video / VCR - Beamer / projector (see note 1 below) - OHP - Cassette recorder IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SPEAKERS 1. Since the organizing committee cannot guarantee full availability of a beamer / projector --or its compatibility with the speakers' laptop/notebook computer-- presenters are kindly requested to make contingency plans (= OHP). 2. Papers and workshops may be presented in either English or Spanish. The time for papers and workshops will be 40 minutes, including in all cases 5 minutes for discussion. 3. Co-presenters are required to pay their registration fee and take part in the presentation in order to receive the conference certificate. 4. All speakers are requested to devote the first 5 minutes of their time to introducing the specific topic to be addressed by placing it in an appropriate context and a wider framework. Similarly, speakers are requested to emphasize the main points/findings rather than give unnecessary detail during the presentation. The organizing committee feels that a reasonably uniform format will make it easier for the audience --mostly advanced undergraduate students-- to follow the talks. 5. At ELIA the workshop format is usually based on some teaching strategy, classroom activity, data collection/analysis procedure, teaching materials (either academic or commercial), and the like. It includes a brief introduction followed by a practical demonstration (live or recorded) intended to show the comparative benefits of the strategy, procedure or materials being presented. References to and/or discussion of specific theories, hypotheses, authors, etc. are less relevant in this format type. Although the overall time available for workshops is the same as for paper presentations, the time assigned for participation by the audience may need to be more flexible in workshops (eg. 10 min. out of the total 40). 6. VERY IMPORTANT: A 300- to 400-word (maximum) single-spaced abstract and a sequential outline of the presentation must be attached to this proposal form. The sequential outline will consist of a step-by-step distribution of the contents to be covered organized according to the total time available for presentation. 7. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION: The following criteria will be used for assessing the proposals received: Relevance: Topics must be based on the conference's main theme from the perspective of learning, teaching, or using the L2 in question. Significance to the field: Proposals must include at least two (2) of the following aspects of the topic discussed: original research / critical analysis of an issue / innovative practice / contrastive analysis / review of the literature. Clarity: Abstracts must be clear and specific; sequential outlines must be well-organized and reflect the total time available for presentations. Implications and/or applications: These must be clearly stated as an integral part of the conclusion. 8. All proposals will consist of a completed proposal form, an abstract, and a sequential outline, as indicated above. The deadline to submit proposals --either by regular or electronic mail to elia@siff.us.es (WORD, RTF, ASCII format)-- is December 1, 2006.

In particular, C-related phenomena (V2, I-to-C), verbal inflection, auxiliaries, determiners and clitics are known to be relevant domains to study the acquisition of functional categories. A substantial part of the debate on the acquisition of functional categories, starting in the 90's, has been devoted to discuss whether the functional part of the structure is available for children from the onset or subject to maturation. Many good arguments have been advanced from both sides, making this an unsettled issue. The primary goal of this workshop is to discuss the acquisition of functional categories, trying to address the following questions: 1. Certain functional elements are known to be more problematic in some languages than in others (e.g. clitic omission, determiner omission, verbal inflection). What are the sources of these crosslinguistic differences? 2. What are the relevant linguistic markers for establishing whether a functional category or element has been acquired? 3. Are there relevant differences between different functional categories in the path of acquisition (e.g. does acquisition of I-related phenomena precede or follow the emergence of C-related phenomena; is there a relation between the acquisition of clitics and determiners?). If there are such differences, what explains them? 4. Certain domains are claimed to be functionally defective in adult language (e.g. restructuring contexts, bare NPs). Are these acquired differently from other domains? What can such differences tell us about the notions of completeness and defectivity? 5. Maturational approaches are often criticized for failing to account for early occurrence of functional elements in certain constructions/languages. How can these approaches explain these data? 6. Continuity hypotheses are often criticized for failing to account for the differences between adult and child grammar in what concerns the difficulties with functional elements. How can these approaches account for such differences? 7. There are ongoing debates on the status of the functional domain in adult grammar (e.g. composed by a fixed array of functional categories or subject to crosslinguistic and language-internal variation). How can acquisition data contribute to such debates? Papers are invited for 20 minute talks followed by discussion.

It is our intention to bring together papers that evaluate the relevance of certain pragmatic issues claimed to be universal, within postcolonial contexts. Although the focus of this panel is primarily on face-saving, papers related to the myriad locutionary forms, illocutionary functions, and perlocutionary effects of language communication and communication systems in postcolonial contexts are welcome as well. Papers dealing with natural discourse and issues of cultural displacement, migration, hybridity, diaspora, and the role of public and government media in shaping perceptions of postcolonial history, politics, and regional, ethnic, and social identities will also be considered. With its emphasis on communication and issues of identity, agency, understanding, and empowerment in different postcolonial contexts, this panel wishes to provide a common platform for interdisciplinary cooperation between scholars of different persuasions with interests in language, communication, and postcolonial questions Send abstracts to Richard W. Janney (University of Munich) janney@lmu.de Eric A. Anchimbe (University of Munich) anchimbe_eric@yahoo.com Deadline: May 30th, 2006. More information on the SLE conference at: http://www.fb10.uni-bremen.de/sle2006 Universalism and relativism in face-saving: Focus on postcolonial contexts Richard W. Janney (University of Munich) janney@lmu.de Eric A. Anchimbe (University of Munich) anchimbe_eric@yahoo.com The main question this panel wishes to address is: to what extent are the patterns of face-saving claimed by Brown and Levinson (1978) really universal? Since the publication of Brown and Levinson's work, several other works have been published that describe patterns of politeness and face-saving in Non-western cultures that are distinctly different from those in Western cultures. Although some researchers have discussed politeness in certain African and Asian cultures, it is still not established if the further mix of languages and linguistic identities created by colonialism play a significant role in the way speakers in multilingual postcolonial speech communities produce and react to speech acts related to politeness and face-saving. This issue is particularly complex, because language use and abuse play important roles in many areas of postcolonial life. Language can be a powerful mediator of understanding, empowerment, and solidarity, or a source of repression, disempo! werment, and discrimination. Choices of what and how (and in what languages) things are expressed stand at the centre of postcolonial pragmatic interest. If certain face-saving strategies (hedging, complimenting, understating, distancing, etc.) are relatively uniform in Western cultures, as Brown and Levinson claim, how are these realised in postcolonial contexts? What happens to these strategies among speakers who have complex, hybrid linguistic identities built on mixtures of foreign languages imposed during colonialism, indigenous languages, and the languages of wider communication (Pidgins and Creoles)? Do speakers adopt situational faces, using the different languages (and with these, identities) at their disposal to project such faces? Or do they adopt stabile face-saving patterns specific to one language and culture in their daily communication? Answers to these questions could be found by analyzing everyday face-to-face discourse, political and institutional discourse, print media discourse, literary discourse, and all forms of electronically mediated communication. Although the focus of this panel is primarily on face-saving, papers related to the myriad locutionary forms, illocutionary functions, and perlocutionary effects of language communication and communication systems in postcolonial contexts are welcome as well. Papers dealing with natural discourse and issues of cultural displacement, migration, hybridity, diaspora, and the role of public and government media in shaping perceptions of postcolonial history, politics, and regional, ethnic, and social identities will also be considered. With its emphasis on communication and issues of identity, agency, understanding, and empowerment in different postcolonial contexts, this panel wishes to provide a common platform for interdisciplinary cooperation between scholars of different persuasions with interests in language, communication, and postcolonial questions. ----------------------------------------------------------- LINGUIST List: Vol-17-1534 From - Thu Dec 10 14:22:55 2009 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Gmail-Received: febfb516e8e6ecf52ae3a7e17208ce28103f1ac6 Delivered-To: jpprost@gmail.com Received: by 10.65.222.4 with SMTP id z4cs362818qbq; Fri, 19 May 2006 06:50:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.35.77.18 with SMTP id e18mr948125pyl; Fri, 19 May 2006 06:50:12 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: Received: from listserv.linguistlist.org (listserv.linguistlist.org [164.76.102.107]) by mx.gmail.com with ESMTP id q37si480324pye.2006.05.19.06.49.45; Fri, 19 May 2006 06:50:12 -0700 (PDT) Received-SPF: pass (gmail.com: best guess record for domain of owner-linguist@listserv.linguistlist.org designates 164.76.102.107 as permitted sender) Received: from listserv (listserv [164.76.102.107]) by listserv.linguistlist.org (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id k4JDVWjk010035; Fri, 19 May 2006 09:49:43 -0400 (EDT) Received: by LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 14.4) with spool id 402644 for LINGUIST@LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG; Fri, 19 May 2006 09:49:38 -0400 Approved-By: linguist@LINGUISTLIST.ORG Received: from linguistlist.org (linguistlist.org [164.76.102.53]) by listserv.linguistlist.org (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id k4ILXbqw026128 for ; Thu, 18 May 2006 17:33:37 -0400 (EDT) Received: from linguistlist.org (linguistlist.org [164.76.102.53]) by linguistlist.org (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id k4ILXUih010646; Thu, 18 May 2006 17:33:30 -0400 (EDT) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 X-Mailer: ColdFusion MX Application Server X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-2.0.2 (listserv.linguistlist.org [164.76.102.107]); Fri, 19 May 2006 09:49:44 -0400 (EDT) X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-2.0.2 (listserv.linguistlist.org [164.76.102.107]); Thu, 18 May 2006 17:33:38 -0400 (EDT) X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-2.0.2 (linguistlist.org [164.76.102.53]); Thu, 18 May 2006 17:33:30 -0400 (EDT) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by listserv.linguistlist.org id k4ILXcqw026145 Message-ID: <13427282.1147988010191.JavaMail.nobody@linguistlist.org> Date: Thu, 18 May 2006 17:33:30 -0400 Reply-To: linguist@LINGUISTLIST.ORG Sender: The LINGUIST Discussion List From: linguist@LINGUISTLIST.ORG Subject: 17.1536, Calls: East Asian Ling/Toronto, Ontario, Canada Comments: To: gayatri@linguistlist.org, linglike@linguistlist.org To: LINGUIST@LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG Precedence: list LINGUIST List: Vol-17-1536.

Empirical, Theoretical, and Computational Perspectives' that took place in Tübingen from January 29 - February 1, 2004. It contains a short introduction by the editors and 26 papers. SUMMARY The introduction discusses several issues related to linguistic evidence. As the central objects of linguistic enquiry -- ''language, languages, and the factors/mechanisms systematically (co-) governing language acquisition, language processing, language use, and language change'' (1) -- cannot be directly accessed, they have to be reconstructed from the manifestations of linguistic behaviour. As there are many possible data types, e.g. introspection, corpus data, data from (psycho-) linguistic experiments, synchronic vs. diachronic data, typological data, neurolinguistic data, data from first and second language learning, data from language disorders, gaining linguistic evidence from the potentially available data is no trivial matter. Linguistic evidence is quite a new topic of linguistic discussion. Until the mid nineties there were largely two ways of gathering data. Generativists largely relied on introspective data, whereas non- generative linguists relied on informally gathered corpus data. But this has begun to change. The authors attribute this turning point to the book by Schütze (1996), who demanded a systematic approach to speaker judgements. Since then, many scholars have shown that it is necessary to control the many factors that influence speaker judgements in order to obtain more reliable data. Furthermore the size and availability of corpora has grown since the mid nineties, and with it the importance of corpora as a source of evidence. Both developments, Kepser/Reis claim, have paved the way for a rapprochement between introspective and corpus linguistics and ''[i]t is one of the main aims of this volume to overcome the corpus data versus introspective data opposition and to argue for a view that values and employs different types of linguistic evidence each in their own right. Evidence involving different domains of data will shed different, but altogether more, light on the issues under investigation, be it that the various findings support each other, help with the correct interpretation, or by contradicting each other, lead to factors or influence so far overlooked. This ties in naturally with the fact ... that there are more domains and sources of evidence that should be taken into account than just corpus data and introspective data.'' (3). In the first article 'Gradedness and Consistency in Grammaticality' Aria Adli argues for graded grammaticality judgements. Adli criticises the fact that in theoretical studies questionable introspective judgements are quoted without prior empirical verification. One of the examples Adli discusses in detail is the case of the 'que' --> 'qui' rule in French, which is much cited in syntactic theorising. It essentially states that ''an ECP [Empty Category Principle-EG] violation can be avoided in French if 'qui' is used instead of the usual complementizer 'que' in sentences where a wh-phrase has been extracted from the subject position'' (7), and that there are clear differences in grammaticality between such sentences with 'qui' and 'que'. Using data from a controlled experiment with a graded concept of grammaticality Adli shows that the 'que' --> 'qui' rule is largely a myth and suggests that instead psycholinguistic factors are responsible for the differences in (un)grammaticality of different sentence types containing these forms. Katrin Axel's paper 'Null Subjects and Verb Placement in Old High German' deals with Old High German (OHG) time and weather expressions without the quasi-argument 'iz' ('it') and with constructions where a referential subject is not overtly realised. Using three major prose texts as her empirical basis, she shows that earlier OHG (8th and 9th century) allowed genuine pro-drop and should therefore not be classified as a semi pro-drop language. Her data show that null subjects are (largely) restricted to root clauses in early OHG, which are distinguished from subordinate clauses by the position of the finite verb (verb-first/verb-second vs. sentence-final/sentence late). She claims that this main/subordinate asymmetry can be accounted for if we assume that null subjects are only licensed in post-finite position, i.e. ''it is highly plausible that null subjects are only licensed in configuration [sic] in which they are c-commanded by a leftward moved finite verb: [V+AGR]k [pro ... tk]]. In OHG, the only way to obtain the required configuration for null-subject licensing is verb movement to C0'' (34). Axel further suggests that the distribution of null subjects is influenced by morphological factors. In OHG there were two alternative verb endings in the 1st person plural: a short '-m' and a long '-mês'. Pronouns occurring with the short variant are virtually always overt but frequently omitted with the long ending, but only in post-finite position. Axel claims that although the Latinised writing tradition may have had a certain impact, the widely-held assumption that the omission of referential subject pronouns in earlier OHG is a foreign feature cannot be upheld as it fails to explain why null subjects were largely banned from pre-finite environments and from contexts with 1st person plural endings in '-m'. Modern Standard German does not allow referential pro-drop anymore, despite its comparatively 'rich' verbal inflection. Referring to Sprouse and Vance (1999) Axel argues that the replacement of null subjects by overt pronouns needs not be related to any grammar-internal changes, but rather to differences in parsing success, based on the assumption that utterances with null pronouns are more difficult to parse. Axel finally argues that the case of the OHG null subjects puts into doubt the assumed incompatibility of referential pro-drop and verb second. Neither does it confirm the relation between morphological richness and null subjects. The authors of 'Beauty and the Beast: What Running a Broad- Coverage Precision Grammar over the BNC Taught Us about the Grammar - and the Corpus' (Timothy Baldwin, John Beavers, Emily M. Bender, Dan Flickinger, Ara Kim, Stephan Oepen) argue for a hybrid approach to grammar engineering (referring to Fillmore 1992). After reviewing some of the arguments for and against corpus data and introspective data they present their methodology for building a broad coverage precision grammar. In a first step they apply English Resource Grammar (ERG) to a sample of the BNC. The grammar was able to generate at least one parse for 57% of the sentences. The 43% that did not receive a parse were diagnosed and classified manually. The authors distinguished seven categories of parsing failure, which either represent gaps in the grammar (''missing lexical entry'', ''missing construction'', ''fragment''), are due to preprocessing errors or parser resource limitations, or represent noise (''ungrammatical string'', ''extragrammatical string''). They then discuss these categories further, and explain why the respective sentences could not be parsed. Missing lexical entries for example fall into two basic categories: missing lexical types for a given word token (e.g. the grammar contains the noun 'table', but not the verb) and missing multiword expressions. The authors argue that combining the two sources of linguistic evidence - using corpora as primary source of data, and enhancing and expanding that data with native speaker judgments - can be of much use to grammar developers. The corpus provides linguistic variety and authenticity, revealing new syntactic constructions, which can then be analyzed with the grammar. Here, insisting on a notion of grammaticality helps to recognise and categorise the noise in the corpus. According to Baldwin et al. ''precision grammar engineering serves both as a means of linguistic hypothesis testing and as an effective way to bring new data into the arena of syntactic theory'' (64). In 'Seemingly Indefinite Definites' Greg Carlson and Rachel Shirley Sussmann use experimental and non-experimental methods to show that there is a sub-class of English definite articles which in their interpretations are similar to indefinite articles, such as 'the' in ''Mary went to the store'', where the identity of the store is not especially important, in contrast to 'the' in ''Mary went to the desk''. First, the authors show that weak definites have the same distributional properties as bare singular count nouns (''He was in bed''). They are lexically restricted, i.e. it is a lexical feature of the noun itself that determines whether it can function as a bare singular/weak definite, they do not allow any modification, a certain degree of semantic enrichment is added to them, they only co-occur with lexical items of certain classes, and their distributional properties preclude application of the usual tests for definiteness/indefiniteness. In the second part of the paper Carlson/Sussman show that experimental evidence supports the existence of a separate class of weak definites. For their experiment they selected six nouns that often function as indefinite definites and matched them with comparable regular definite nouns (e.g. ''After she finishes her breakfast, Lydia will read the newspaper'' vs. ''the book''). Each noun was put into a sentence containing a verb that was known to support the indefinite definite reading. For each sentence pair a visual context was created which depicted the scene just before the action depicted in the sentence is carried out. The participants saw this scene on a computer screen, while they heard a spoken version of the sentence. They then had to choose the item on display that they thought was most likely to be involved in the upcoming action. In addition, their eye-movement was monitored while they were listing to the sentence. Both target choice and eye movement supported the existence of two separate classes of definites. Sonia Cyrino and Ruth Lopes ('Animacy as a Driving Cue in Change and Acquisition in Brazilian Portuguese') use both diachronic data and data from language acquisition to show that a feature that was relevant for a change in Brazilian Portuguese is still operative in language acquisition. Looking at historical data they first discuss the grammatical change in object constructions where the 3rd person neuter clitic 'o' is gradually replaced by a null element, leading to a change in the grammar. They then go on to examine the present-day acquisition of the null category, arguing that this shift became critical for language acquisition, cuing a new grammar, and that it was the semantic features of the antecedent that were the driving cue and played a role in the acquisition of the object pronominal paradigm in Brazilian Portuguese. The more general theoretical conclusions they draw from this is that firstly, ''we may take cue-based theories seriously and try to show how a cue can be operative after a change occurred in a language, explaining the change itself'' (102), and secondly, that this ''places some questions about acquisition proper within the generative framework'' (102). In 'Aspectual Coercion and On-line Processing: The Case of Iteration' Sacha DeVelle discusses the phenomenon of iteration, which is a prime example of aspectual coercion. Iteration ''describes the encoding of a series of repetitions within a given situation'' (106). The iterative interpretation is enhanced by the semantic punctual feature of point action verbs ('jump'), which can reflect a single act ('dive') or an iterative act ('knock'). Two studies (Piñango, Zurif, and Jackendoff (1999), using a cross modal lexical decision (CMLD) interference task; Todorova, Straub, Bedecker, and Frank (2000) using a reading time task) have shown that if a point action verb is combined with the durational adverbials 'for' or 'until' (e.g. ''The girl dived in the pool for five minutes'') there is an increased processing load, which is demonstrated by longer reaction times and emerges at or just after the durational adverbial. The authors of both studies argue that this is evidence for an enriched compositional operation. DeVelle however argues that the processing differences between activity verbs and point action verbs may also be due to the sentence stimuli used in the two studies. A repetition of Piñango et al.'s (1999) study showed one significant difference from the original study: the point action/durational adverbial sentence pairs were overall interpreted as more difficult to understand and less plausible than their activity sentence counterparts. DeVelle claims that this may have influenced Piñango et al.'s findings. Studies on child language acquisition have argued that the acquisition of epistemic expressions begins between two-and-half and three years of age, but that epistemic expressions remain very rare until 4;5 (year; month) or later. Experiments have however shown that the linguistic epistemic system is not fully understood until the age of 8;0 or later, and that weak epistemic expressions like 'können' or 'vielleicht' are still not understood by 6- and 7-year-olds. These findings suggest that children understand (weak) epistemic terms much later than they begin to use them. In 'Why Do Children Fail to Understand Weak Epistemic Terms? An Experimental Study' Serge Doitchinov presents the results of two experiments he has conducted in order to find out whether children's late understanding of epistemic terms is related to the development of their ability to understand epistemic uncertainty (inference based hypothesis) or to their ability to recognise scalar implicature (implicature based hypothesis). His first experiment consisted of three tasks: (i) the 'modal expression task' which investigated to children's ability to understand weak epistemic expressions correctly; (ii) the 'implicature task', to assess the children's understanding of scalar implicatures; and (iii) the 'interference task' which examined their ability to deal with epistemic uncertainty. The second experiment was conducted to further assess the children's ability to recognise scalar implicatures. The results of the two experiments suggests that the acquisition of epistemic terms depends on the development of children's ability to understand epistemic uncertainty; this ability seems not yet fully mastered by eight years of age. Doitchinov argues that younger children's capacity to use weak epistemic terms is limited. They probably first use weak epistemic terms only in very familiar situations - this does not contradict previous claims. According to Doitchinov the results however also suggest that they have difficulties in inferring epistemic possibility, and that they occasionally overgeneralise the use of strong epistemic terms in their talk. Linguistic descriptions of negative polarity items agree that the occurrence of polarity items is licensed by semantic and/or pragmatic properties. Furthermore it was argued that a negative polarity item is only licensed if it occurs in the scope of a negator (cf. e.g. Haegeman 1995). (1) a. Kein Mann, der einen Bart hatte, war jemals glücklich. 'No man who had a beard was ever happy' b.*Ein Mann, der einen Bart hatte, war jemals glücklich. 'A man who had a beard was ever happy' c. *Ein Mann, der keinen Bart hatte, war jemals glücklich. 'A man who had no beard was ever happy' The paper 'Processing Negative Polarity Items: When Negation Comes Through the Backdoor' by Heiner Drenhaus, Stefan Frisch and Douglas Saddy presents the results of two psycholinguistic studies (acceptability speeded judgment tasks and event-related brain potentials (ERPs)). They have used structures such as in (1) to examine the specific lexical properties of a negative polarity items like 'jemals' ('ever') and the licensing conditions that are due to hierarchical constituency. Both experiments confirmed that there are two licensing conditions for negative polarity items: the semantic/pragmatic, and the structural/syntactic condition. Both experiments however also showed that violation with inaccessible negation ((1c) was more often accepted as correct than violation without negation (1b)), indicating that the negator is (wrongly) used to license the polarity item even if it is not in a c-commanding position. Drenhaus et al. claim that this might be due to a ''competition between semantic/pragmatic information and hierarchical constituency'' (159), but that further systematic investigations of polarity constructions are needed. Veronika Ehrich's paper 'Linguistic Constraints on the Acquisition of Epistemic Modal Verbs' discusses constraints on the acquisition of epistemic modal verbs (MVs) in German. Ehrich first gives a detailed description of the relevant semantic and syntactic properties of German MVs and reviews some of the main findings of MV-acquisition research. She then compares the results of her corpus study to different competing (psycho-) linguistic approaches to epistemicity in language and language development. Ehrich concludes that syntactic progress, semantic diversification and cognitive development are all necessary prerequisites for the rise of epistemicity, but none of them seems to be sufficient by itself. In 'The Decathlon Model of Empirical Syntax' Sam Featherston describes a new model of grammar, the 'Decathlon Model'. Featherston has conducted studies on frequency (based on corpus data) and studies on grammaticality (based on native speakers' judgments, using a procedure which ''allowed informants to express all the differences in ''naturalness'' that they perceive, with no coercion to a given scale'' (189)). The grammaticality-judgment study has yielded the following results: (i) judged well-formedness is a continuum - a cut- off point between well-formed and not well-formed cannot be located, (ii) each linguistic factor has an effect on well-formedness - more violations cause a structure to be evaluated worse, and (iii) there are no 'hard' constraints - no violation excludes a structure from the grammar. The frequency data shows a different picture. Of the 16 structures tested in the judgments, one occurs once in the corpus (the one judged second best), one occurs 14 times (the one judged best); the remaining 14 structures do not occur at all. This shows that the two data types are in fact not measuring the same factor and that relative judgments say nothing about the probability of occurrence of a structure. Featherston then introduces the Decathlon Model, which is supposed to be both ''an outline architecture of a grammar and at the same time an account of the differences between data types'' (196). The Decathlon Model's 'Constraint Application' module ''applies constraints, assigns violation costs, and outputs form/meaning pairs, weighted with violation costs'' (197). These form/meaning pairs are then sent to the 'Output Selection' module, which basically contains the grammar and which selects the best candidate for output. The existence of these two modules explains the different results for the different data types: With judgments, what is returned is the output of the Constraint Application function, whereas frequency measures measure the output of the Output Selection module. Featherston then goes on to discuss the advantages of the Decathlon Model over other theories of syntax, the notion and the nature of well-formedness, and the implications of his findings for the choice of data types in syntax. Here he concludes that the data type for syntax must be relative judgments: ''Frequency measures give us the same information as relative judgments about the best (couple of) structural alternatives in each comparison set, but they give us no information about any of the others.'' (205) For syntactic theory this means that one has to chose what one wants to model, as output selection and the grammar are two separate processes. In her paper 'Examining the Constraints on the Benefactive Alternation by Using the World Wide Web as a Corpus' Christiane Fellbaum asks whether data gathered from the web can give us new insights into speakers' grammars and serve as evidence for linguistic theories. She contrasts the constraints for the Benefactive alternation (consisting of the PP alternant (''Chris bought a cake for Kim'') and the direct object (DO) alternant (''Chris bought Kim a cake'')) that were formulated on the basis of introspective data, with the data found on the web. Her data show that the previously proposed constraints cannot fully account for the data found on the web, although ''most data fall into the kinds of patterns that previous researchers have suggested'' (237). Fellbaum e.g. shows (i) that the DO alternant can occur with verbs of destruction, (ii) that it not necessarily requires a ''created/prepared/obtained entity that becomes the Beneficiary's possession'' (222) as had been claimed by other scholars, and (iii) that there is no ''Latinate Constraint'', i.e. there is ''no restriction on the Benefactive alternation that can be formulated in terms of etymology or morphophonological properties of the verb'' (225). She further shows (iv) that restrictions concerning the Benefactive cannot be formulated in terms of aspect, and (v) that the constraints that had been formulated concerning the nominal arguments of the Benefactive seem to be no ''hard'' constraints. Fellbaum argues that although web data do not permit us to formulate any hard constraints, two observations can be made: in the DO alternant, the subject has to have control over the event, and, unlike in the PP alternant, ''a benefit is necessarily bestowed, resulting in a change of state of the affected entity, the Beneficiary'' (237). She concludes with the observation that constructed data often fails to capture the fuzzy nature of real constraints and argues that all those grammatical phenomena that could previously only be studied using one's intuition should now be re-examined using natural occurring data, i.e. corpus data. In 'A Quantitative Corpus Study of German Word Order Variation' Kris Heylen attempts to overcome the limitations of ''traditional'' data (introspection and ''encountered'' examples) by using a corpus-based approach to study the word order variation in the German Mittelfeld. Heylen first discusses the problems with traditional data types for studying word order variation, arguing that they are unreliable and not able to deal with gradient and multifactorial phenomena. He then discusses the advantages of corpora over other data types. proposes a corpus-based approach, arguing that (i) corpus data is primary data in linguistics, (ii) corpora gives us easy access to large amounts of data, (iii) corpus-data reflects gradient effects through relative frequencies, and (iv) multiple factors can be studied directly by looking at actual usage data. Heylen then presents the results of a corpus- based study on word order, where he has examined ''the variation that occurs when both a full NP-subject and a pronominally realised object are present in the Mittelfeld'' (244). He takes into account seven factors that might influence word order, and, using various statistical models, examines the correlations between word order and these factors (for each factors separately and for multiple factors simultaneously). Although his analysis shows that the seven factors investigated can explain some of the variation (e.g. the strong effect of clause-type: ''the 'marked' order subject-first is especially common in subordinate clauses'' (261)), Heylen argues that additional factors have to be tested in order to be able to fully account for the variation. He concludes with arguing that the results of the study are ''not yet explanations'' (261) and that in order to formulate an explanatory model for the variation corpus-data alone may not be sufficient as it is only ''part of a whole set of data types that are necessary for sound empirical language research'' (261). There are a number of statistical word similarity measures, which are based on fundamentally different assumption. The paper 'Which Statistics Reflects Semantics? Rethinking Synonymy and Word Similarity' by Derrick Higgins presents yet another model - local context-information retrieval (LC-IR), which ''is based on web search statistics regarding the frequency with which words appear adjacent to one another'' (280). Higgins shows that LC-IR outperforms any other purely statistical model and ascribes this to the fact that as it uses web data there is no problem of data sparsity, and to the fact that is uses the parallelism assumption, i.e. it ''predicts that similar words will occur in grammatically parallel constructions'' (275). Other models, on the other hand, are either based on the idea that similar words occur near the same set of other words (the topicality assumption) or that words occur near those words which are most similar to them (the proximity assumption). Higgins goes on to discuss the implications his approach may have for a theory of lexical semantics and acquisition, arguing for example that grammatical parallelism is a cue used by language learners to identify words as semantically similar or synonymous. The paper 'Language Production Errors as Evidence for Language Production Processes - the Frankfurt Corpora' (Annette Hohenberger, Eva-Maria Waleschkowski) compares ''slips'' in German Sign Language (DGS) to ''slips'' in spoken German in order to answer the question ''which aspects of language production and monitoring are modality-dependent and which are not'' (287). Using data from a DGS corpus and a corpus of spoken German, as well as experimental data from what they call ''the slip experiment'' to supplement the corpus data, Hohenberger/Waleschkowski show that ''language processing is basically modality independent'' (300), i.e. the fact that there are identical types of slips in DGS and spoken German indicates that ''producing speech and sign proceeds through the same planning stages and involves the same computational vocabulary'' (300). The observed differences in slip-types are argued to be related to differences in information packaging strategies in DGS and spoken German. The aim of Mary Aizawa Kato and Carlos Mioto's paper 'A Multi- Evidence Study of European and Brazilian Portuguese wh-Questions' is to compare contemporary European Portuguese (EP) and Brazilian Portuguese (BP) wh-questions using equivalent written corpora as well as speakers' intuition. They then aim to provide a theoretical interpretation of the results, using Lightfoot's Principle and Parameters (PP) model of language change (Lightfoot 1999) as their framework. Their empirical research showed that there is an intersection of licensed patters in EP and BP, but that there are also differences. Compared to what had been found in previous studies, their empirical study revealed two facts: (i) ''spoken EP does not exhibit VS [verb- subject - EG] order in non-cleft questions'' (316) and (ii) ''BP VS order in non-cleft questions is not restricted to unaccusative verbs'' (316). Kato/Mioto's most important theoretical conclusion is that the VS order in EP wh-questions reflects the derivation of thetic sentences in general. Gerard Kempen and Karin Harbusch ('The Relationship between Grammaticality Ratings and Corpus Frequencies: A Case Study into Word Order Variability in the Midfield of German Clauses') compare the results of a graded grammaticality-study on word order in the German Mittelfeld (Keller 2000) to data from two corpora. Keller had found that none of the constraints (C1) Pronominal < Nominal, (C2) Nominative < Non-nominative, and (C3) Dative < Accusative are ''absolute'' in that their violation gave rise to extremely low grammaticality judgments (C1 and C2 were found to have equal strength, whereas C3 was very weak). If such constraints were ''psychologically real'', it could be assumed, the differences in acceptability would be reflected by different corpus frequencies. Kempen/Harbusch however found that this is not the case: ''a systematic discrepancy emerged between the frequency counts and the grammaticality ratings'' (330). The argument orderings that were rated average or low were absent from the corpora, i.e. ''the grammaticality judgments tend to be more lenient than the corpus data'' (337). The authors claim that this discrepancy exists because what was rated in Keller's study was actually the discrepancy between the to-be-judged argument ordering and the order(s) licensed by the ''strict production-based linearization rule'', a mechanism which yields equivalent output, i.e. ''the grammaticality ratings appear sensitive to the number and seriousness of violations of the rule'' (342). There seems to be a critical value, the ''production threshold'', which separates the grammaticality continuum. Structures with grammaticality values above this threshold will occur in corpora with moderate-to-high frequencies, all other structures will have zero or very low frequencies. In 'The Emergence of Productive Non-Medical '-itis': Corpus Evidence and Qualitative Analysis' Anke Lüdeling and Stefan Evert use the German suffix '-itis' to show that the problem of (morphological) productivity can only be understood when different types of evidence - quantitative and qualitative - are combined. Medical '-itis' is rule- based, or categorial, and therefore fully productive, it is originally used in medical contexts meaning 'inflammation (of)', it is bound and combined with neoclassical elements denoting body parts (e.g. ''Arthritis'' 'inflammation of the joints'). Non-medical '-itis' is similarity-based, and difficult to characterise in categorial terms. Its meaning can be described as 'doing too much of X'; Lüdeling/Evert argue that it likely developed from medical '-itis' the meaning of which was generalised to mean 'illness'. Their qualitative analysis of '-itis' has shown that there is evidence for two morphological processes with different properties. Lüdeling/Evert now use corpus data to find out (i) whether both processes differ with respect to productivity - here it could be expected that the productivity for the rule-based process should be higher, and (ii) whether (and how) the productivity of each process changes over time - here one would expect that ''the established medical rule-based use of '-itis' does not change over time, but non-medical '-itis', which is similarity-based and therefore dependent on the stored examples, can show short-term qualitative changes as well as changes in productivity'' (356f). They apply and discuss different statistical models to test the synchronic and diachronic productivity of both types of '-itis'. The quantitative properties of the two processes however do not confirm the two initial hypotheses, which leads Lüdeling/Evert to suggest that probably, morphological theory does not need to make a distinction between rule-based and similarity-based processes'' (366). Wiltrud Mihatsch's paper 'Experimental Data vs. Diachchronic Typological Data: Two Types of Evidence for Linguistic Relativity' explores the interaction of perceptual and typological factors in lexical change, comparing diachronic data (from a database containing paths of lexical change in the domain of body parts in a sample of over 30 languages) with experimental data from the psycholinguistic literature. Lucy (1992) and Imai/Gentner (1997) had found that ''the number marking system may influence the categorisation of entities that are ambiguous between a classification according to shape and one according to substance with respect to their shape'' (373). Speakers of languages with obligatory number marking (e.g. English) tend to classify according to shape, speakers of languages without obligatory number marking (e.g. Japanese) tend to classify such objects according to material. Presupposing that ''lexical change reflects fossilized categorization processes'' (375), i.e. that concepts are always conceptualised via existing labels for other concepts and some of these new concepts get lexicalised, Mihatsch looks at whether the concepts of EYEBALL, EYELID, EYEBROW, and EYELASH, the words for which tend to be less stable and change over time (in contrast to e.g. HAIR, EYE, or SKIN), are conceptualised according to substance or according to shape in different languages. EYEBALL is virtually always named on the basis of round objects, whereas in the case of EYELID, EYEBROW, and EYELASH there are different naming strategies. EYEBROW, and EYELASH for example can be conceptualised on the basis of HAIR or WOOL, i.e. in terms of material (mostly in languages without obligatory plural marking), but also via their elongated, arc-like shape (in languages with obligatory plural marking). The results indicate a very strong interaction between noun type and conceptualisation, and therefore, according to Mihatsch, point towards ''a moderate version of linguistic relativity'' (381). In 'Reflexives and Pronouns in Picture Noun Phrases: Using Eye Movements as a Source of Linguistic Evidence' Jeffrey T. Runner, Rachel S. Sussman, and Michael K. Tanenhaus first show that native speaker judgments on binding in picture NPs, i.e. noun phrases headed by a ''representational'' noun such as 'photograph', 'picture', 'film', are not solid. Reflexives in picture NPs lacking a possessor may violate Binding Theory (BT) (e.g. ''John knows that there is a picture of himself in the morning paper''). These reflexives have been called logophors (cf. Reinhard/Reuland 1993), i.e. ''reflexive noun phrases which are not ... subject to structural Binding Theory, but rather are constrained at least in part by discourse variables'' (395). Picture NPs with possessors appear to show the complementary distribution predicted by BT, but two studies by Keller and Asudeh (2001) have shown that native speakers accepted equally reflexives and pronouns bound to the subject of the sentence in examples like ''Hanna found Peter's picture of herself/he''. The three authors then present the results of an experiment that investigated the use of reflexives and pronouns in possessed picture NPs. In the experiment participants had to work with a display and three dolls, Ken, Harry, and Joe, which each had three pictures, one of himself and one of each of the others. The participants were then presented with potentially ambiguous instructions like ''Have Joe touch Ken's picture of himself''. Thus, participants' target choice provided a kind of judgment. ''If a participant choose a picture indicating a particular reading, this means that reading is acceptable or possible.'' (398) In addition to target choice the eye movements of the participants were being monitored, to see which potential referents were being considered by them. The authors found that ''pronouns in picture NPs with possessors are constrained by Binding Theory and that reflexives are not'' (403), and that ''instead these reflexives behave like logophors'' (404). Runner et al. furthermore show that BT ''cannot be viewed as an early filter that constrains the set of potential referents'' (408) as BT-inappropriate referents were considered early on in the processing for both reflexives and pronouns. They conclude with two more general implications of their study: (i) reflexives in picture NPs should all be treated as logophors, and (ii) their experiment could serve as an example for other studies that aim at complementing introspective data with psycholinguistic evidence. Uli Sauerland, Jan Anderssen, and Kazuko Yatsushiro ('The Plural is semantically unmarked') first show that the 'Strong Theory' of the plural - the plural implies cardinality greater than one and is marked - does not hold, and that there are many cases where ''the plural does not mean the same as explicitly adding 'two or more''' (414) (consider for example ''You're welcome to bring your children'' vs. ''You're welcome to bring your two or more children''. Using evidence from adult competence and from adult and child performance, the authors instead argue for a 'Weak Theory' of the plural, which ''is characterized by the assumption that the plural is not subject to an inherent lexical restriction as the singular is'' (429). According to Sauerland et al. the plural is rather subject to pragmatic comparison with the singular, and can therefore not be used in most examples where the singular is possible. Their findings, according to the authors, imply (i) that ''semantic and morphological markedness need to be distinguished'' (430), and (ii) ''that the interpretation of the plural always involves an implicit comparison'' (430). Tanja Schmid, Markus Bader, and Joseph Bayer present the results of an experiment based on a questionnaire that compared German infinitival non-coherent constructions, where the infinitival complement forms an independent constituent which may be extraposed (e.g. ''... dass Maria prahlt, alle Verwandten zu kennen'') and coherent constructions, where the infinitival complement does not form an independent constituent (e.g. ''*... dass Maria scheint, alle Verwandten zu kennen''). Their paper 'Coherence - an Experimental Approach' addresses the questions (i) whether experimental evidence verifies the validity of their (non-) coherence-tests and the verb class differences proposed in the literature, and (ii) what the factors are that give rise to coherence. Four constructions - topicalisation of the verbal complex, 'long' scrambling of a pronoun, 'long-distance' passive, and wide scope of negation - were used as tests for coherence; two configurations - extraposition of the infinitival complement, and narrow scope of negation - were used to test non-coherence. The intraposed construction, which is assumed to be structurally ambiguous (''... dass Max mir [nur das Lexikon zu kaufen] empfohlen hat'' vs. ''... dass Max mir nur das Lexikon [zu kaufen empfohlen hat]''), was tested, too. Schmid et al. report the following findings: (i) their coherence tests can be considered valid as the different results correlate significantly, (ii) the ambiguous intraposed construction patterns with the coherence tests, and (iii) there is evidence that verbs within a given class behave similarly. In his paper 'Thinking About What We Are Asking Speakers to Do' Carson T. Schütze argues that it is important to evaluate the status and quality of the various types of linguistic evidence. Specifically he asks whether the data obtained from ''naive'' speakers is reliable, i.e. ''whether we are asking them to do things that they can understand and are capable of doing, and whether we can be confident that they are actually doing what we have asked of them'' (457). Schütze examines a number of case studies in detail, finding that in particular experiments that ''address our questions of interest ... directly'' (477), i.e. experiments where the linguist has a particular hypothesis in mind, can yield questionable results. Schütze shows that these ''bad'' results can have various reasons: in one example the instructions for the participants were unclear and inconsistent, or researchers did not take into account that certain ''scenarios'' that were evoked by their elicitation tests could influence the results, or they failed to see that other factors than the ones tested influenced the answers of the participants, etc. Schütze argues that these shortcomings can be overcome by sticking ''as closely as possible to the ways in which language is actually used for everyday purposes, rather than contriving artificial unfamiliar tasks'' (477) and that experiments that are used to gain direct information about underlying linguistic knowledge have to be improved. The question Augustin Speyer pursues in his paper 'A Prosodic Factor for the Decline of Topicalisation in English' is whether there is a connection between the loss of the verb-second constraint (V2) and the decline of topicalisation - ''the movement of a non-subject constituent to the left edge of a sentence'' (487) like in ''Beans, John likes'' -, which both occurred at about the same time in the history of English (starting between 1150 and 1250). The fact that pronouns behave differently from full NPs (the use of pronouns in topicalised sentences remains stable after a sharp drop after 1250 whereas the use of full NPs gradually declines) suggests, according to Speyer, ''that the connection might have something to with one of the properties that pronouns have, but not full noun phrases, or vice versa'' (490). Speyer then goes on to discuss the pragmatic and prosodic properties of topicalised sentences, and introduces a constraint which he thinks might have caused the decline of topicalisation, the 'Trochaic Requirement' (TR), which indicates that ''some weak element ... between two accents is compulsory'' (494). In German topicalised constructions this constraint is naturally fulfilled, due to V2 (''Bohnen hasst Maria''), but Present Day English speakers have to (i) either insert an empty timing slot (after 'beans' in ''Beans, John likes''), ''thus creating a dummy weak element'' (496) or (ii) avoid topicalised constructions. Schütze argues that the TR constraint also held in the history of English. As in the Middle English Period V2-word order became more and more marked and was therefore used less and less, speakers avoided ''accent clash'' by avoiding topicalised constructions - the rate of topicalisations decreased. This is confirmed by the fact that pronouns, which are naturally weak elements, do not seem to be affected by the avoidance of topicalisation. There are three different analyses of coordination. The ''deletion analysis'' (cf. e.g. Chomsky 1957) assumes that conjuncts are derived via a deletion mechanism, e.g. ''[The man is carrying the ladder] and [THE MAN IS CARRYING the bucket]'' (caps indicate deleted material). In the ''phrasal analysis'', ''coordinate phrases ... are base-generated directly by phrase structure rules'' (507), which either results in multi- headed constructions (cf. e.g. Jackendoff 1977) or in analyses that treat conjunctions as heads (cf. e.g. Kayne 1994). The ''node-sharing analysis'' allows for three-dimensional syntactic-structures with single nodes being shared by more than one phrase marker (cf. e.g. Moltmann 1992). Using data from two comprehension studies in agrammatism, and data from reading-time experiments, Ilona Steiner ('On the Syntax of DP Coordination: Combining Evidence from Reading-Time Studies and Agrammatic Comprehension') aims at finding out which of the three analyses is most plausible. The results of the two comprehension studies in agrammatism allowed her to discard the deletion approach; the reading time data provided evidence for the node sharing analysis and allowed her to distinguish between a phrasal analysis and the node sharing analysis. Both types of evidence however, taken together, indicated that the node-sharing analysis is most plausible. The paper 'Lexical Statistics and Lexical Processing: Semantic Density, Information Complexity, Sex, and Irregularity in Dutch' by Wieke M. Tabak, Robert Schreuder, and R. Harald Baayen combines a survey of the distributional properties of regular and irregular verbs in Dutch verbs with an experimental lexical decision study, which addressed the predictability of these properties for lexical processing in reading. The authors established various factors with the help of which the regularity of a verb can be predicted, e.g. lemma frequency, family size, neighbourhood density, argument structures, auxiliaries, inflectional entropy, noun-verb frequency ratio, spoken-written frequency ratio. To test whether these systematic differences between regular and irregular verbs are reflected in on-line processing, the authors conducted a lexical decision study the results of which challenge many previous hypotheses about regular vs. irregular verbs. Tabak et al. for example found that error analysis and response latencies pointed to a procession advantage for regulars. In both analyses, this advantage was most prominent for past tense forms. This finding challenges Pinker's model (1991, 1997), which predicts that ''regulars should be more difficult to process than irregulars, because regulars would require decomposition into stem and affix in addition to lexical lookup, and therefore should elicit longer instead of shorter latencies'' (550). The more general picture that, according to Tabak et al., emerged from the study is ''that the distinction between regular and irregular verbs is not a simple one. Regulars and irregulars differ not only with respect to their formal properties, but also with respect to their semantic properties and the information structure of their inflectional paradigms'' (552). The authors conclude that ''the fascinating and enigmatic phenomenon of regularity and irregularity in the mental lexicon'' (552) requires further investigation. In his paper 'The Double Competence Hypothesis: Diachronic Evidence' Helmut Weiß shows how the ''writing-competence'' that underlies the production of historical texts (which are performance data) can be modelled by combining two independently developed approaches to theoretical and historical linguistics: the double competence hypothesis (cf. e.g. Kroch 2001) - ''which assumes that the competence underlying writing (''first order natural languages'' (N1)) is different from the competence underlying speaking (''second order natural languages'' (N2)) since (i) it is acquired later and independently of the latter, and (ii) it is functionally different - and the hypothesis that there are several grades in languages' naturalness (cf. e.g. Ferguson 1959), which assumes that in a monolingual speech community the low variety (often a dialect) is acquired as native language and spoken in everyday communication, whereas the high variety is learned as second, non-native language, and only used in writing and formal communication. In the 14th and 15th centuries, when NHG started to evolve, the distance between these two competences was still very great, whereas in the 19th and 20th centuries, when NHG first became spoken and was acquired as native language, the distance began to decrease. Weiß shows that the ''mixed language'', which is characteristic of OHG texts is a consequence of a diglossic double competence, and ''that a historical syntactic pattern can be analysed in three ways: as the output of (i) the N1 competence, (ii) the N2 competence, or (iii) as a hybrid form'' (570). He concludes with the claim that in modern historical linguistics combining quantitative and theoretical tools is ''the right and only way to overcome the weaknesses of diachronic data in general and the consequences of double competence'' (571). EVALUATION Most papers in the volume 'Linguistic Evidence' address issues concerning linguistic evidence in relation to specific linguistic problems, using and combining various data types (experimental data and corpus data are perhaps the most frequently used data types here). The volume shows that the question of how to gain linguistic evidence is (or should be) important for all linguists and that linguists can only gain when they use more than one data type. Evidence involving more than one type of data provides a different, but definitely a more comprehensive perspective on a given linguistic phenomenon - whether it confirms one's hypothesis, or whether it contradicts it. There are only few papers that explicitly address methodological and theoretical questions concerning linguistic evidence (e.g. Featherston, Kempen/Harbusch and Schütze), but as linguistic evidence is quite a new topic of linguistic discussion it may well be hoped that we will get more linguistic evidence-theory and -methodology in the near future.

NEW APPROACHES TO MACHINE TRANSLATION A METIS-II WORKSHOP LEUVEN, JANUARY 11TH 2007 http://ccl.kuleuven.be/ws-metis/ First Call for Papers Aim The aim of the workshop ''New Approaches To Machine Translation'' is to raise awareness of innovative approaches to MT, be it rule-based, example-based, statistical, hybrid, ... which tackle issues raised by ''classical approaches'', such as issues with respect to algorithms and resources. The workshop consists of a keynote lecture (t.b.a.), invited and submitted papers, a panel discussion and demonstrations. Topics Papers are invited that describe research and development with respect to new approaches in MT, including, but not restricted to, the following: · New machine translation architectures (rule-based, example-based, statistical, hybrid); projects and currently available software: complete engines, modules; · Quality of the translations obtained, especially in comparison to other techniques; · When using lean resources, the effect this has on your techniques/algorithms, or the information to be specified in these resources; · Post-editing and feedback to the translation engine; · New approaches to the evaluation of MT. All contributions will be published in the workshop proceedings. They will also be made available at the METIS website. Submissions Abstracts should be in English and up to 10 pages long. For instructions for authors, have a look at http://ccl.kuleuven.be/ws-metis/. The (anonymous) papers will be reviewed by members of the programme committee.

METIS investigates rule-based and data-driven methods to the extent they can be built and used with relative ease and they complement each other. Rule-based methods are used where representations and decisions can be determined a-priori with high accuracy, for instance, based on linguistic insight. Corpora serve as a basis to ground decisions where uncertainty remains. Data-driven methods are used for target language generation, using only a target language corpus and a bilingual dictionary instead of a parallel corpus.

This conference aims to bring together researchers who seek to listen to the voices of "the people in the playground" (Iona Opie). We welcome contributions from the many disciplines and professions that are concerned with this field of study, including anthropologists, educationalists, ethnologists, folklorists, historians, linguists, literary scholars, play workers, psychologists and sociologists. The focus of the conference will be on how children's cultures relate to universality and diversity. Papers will deal mainly with the cultural processes and production of children aged roughly four to twelve. Contributions concerning children's verbal art, children's play discourse, dialectal variation in children's verbal folklore and similar topics would be particularly relevant. The conference will take place at the Centre International des Langues, Université de Nantes, France, March 15-17, 2007. Organized by CERSE (Centre d'Etudes et de Recherche en Sciences de l'Education) Université de Caen and CRINI (Centre de Recherches sur les Identités Nationales et l'Interculturalité), Université de Nantes, with the support of the research program ''Apprentissage, Territoires, Temps, Patrimoine,'' Région Pays de la Loire.

As the nature of the tasks in Senseval has evolved to include semantic analysis tasks outside of word sense disambiguation, the Senseval Committee is pleased to announce the debut of "SemEval: Evaluating Semantics". In 2007, the SemEval workshop will retain the Senseval name to help ease the transition to the new name. We welcome proposals for any tasks that can test an automatic system for semantic analysis of text, be it application dependent or independent. We especially encourage tasks for different languages, cross-lingual tasks, and tasks that are relevant to particular NLP applications such as machine translation, information retrieval and information extraction. It will help us if tasks are designed in such a way that they can be run and scored automatically from a central website (as in Senseval-3). We will be happy to help with task design, data formatting, and so on. Information on the design of tasks from Senseval-1, -2, and -3 can be found at: http://www.senseval.org/senseval3/ http://193.133.140.102/senseval2/ http://www.itri.brighton.ac.uk/events/senseval/ARCHIVE/index.html The time period for SemEval-1/Senseval-4 has not yet been finalised, but it will likely be held over a 45-day period sometime during the first quarter of 2007. SUBMISSION DETAILS Proposals for tasks will ideally contain: - A description of the task (max 1 page) - How the training/testing data will be built and/or procured - The evaluation methodology to be used, including clear evaluation criteria - The anticipated availability of necessary resources to the participants (copyright, etc) - The resources required to prepare the task (computation and annotation time, etc) If you are not yet at a point to provide outlines of all of these, that is acceptable, but please give some thought to each, and present a sketch of your first ideas. We will gladly give feedback. Please submit proposals as soon as possible, preferably by electronic mail in plain ASCII text to the SemEval-1 / Senseval-4 email address: semeval@nlp.cs.swarthmore.edu IMPORTANT DATES --------------- July 1, 2006 Submission deadline for task proposals July 15, 2006 Notification of acceptance TENTATIVE SCHEDULE ------------------ November 1, 2006 Preliminary call for participation January 1, 2007 Call for participation, release of trial data March 2007 Estimated Evaluation Period (45 days in total) Summer 2007 Workshop, possibly co-located with ACL or NAACL SEMEVAL-1 / SENSEVAL-4 CHAIRS ----------------------------- Richard Wicentowski, Swarthmore College Lluís Màrquez, Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) Eneko Agirre, University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU) SEMEVAL-1 / SENSEVAL-4 WEBSITE ------------------------------ http://nlp.cs.swarthmore.edu/semeval/ From - Thu Dec 10 14:22:56 2009 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Gmail-Received: c3fef04f303909182d7773b82a8a43b1b7e788b5 Delivered-To: jpprost@gmail.com Received: by 10.65.222.4 with SMTP id z4cs554818qbq; Tue, 23 May 2006 15:50:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.66.216.6 with SMTP id o6mr4994207ugg; Tue, 23 May 2006 15:50:11 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: Received: from noralf.uib.no (noralf.uib.no [129.177.30.12]) by mx.gmail.com with ESMTP id k30si7048314ugc.2006.05.23.15.50.06; Tue, 23 May 2006 15:50:11 -0700 (PDT) Received-SPF: pass (gmail.com: domain of owner-corpora@lists.uib.no designates 129.177.30.12 as permitted sender) Received: from blenda.uib.no [129.177.30.130] by noralf.uib.no with esmtp (Exim 4.34) id 1FifhI-0000Ny-Hm; Wed, 24 May 2006 00:49:52 +0200 Received: from majordomo by blenda.uib.no with local (Exim 4.60) id 1Fifnw-000J74-Of; Wed, 24 May 2006 00:56:44 +0200 Received: from noralf.uib.no [129.177.30.12] by blenda.uib.no with esmtp (Exim 4.60) id 1Fifnw-000J6z-B1; Wed, 24 May 2006 00:56:44 +0200 Received: from nf-out-0910.google.com [64.233.182.191] by noralf.uib.no for corpora@lists.uib.no with esmtp (Exim 4.34) id 1FifhB-0000NM-4O; Wed, 24 May 2006 00:49:48 +0200 Received: by nf-out-0910.google.com with SMTP id c31so705519nfb for ; Tue, 23 May 2006 15:49:44 -0700 (PDT) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=beta; d=gmail.com; h=received:message-id:date:from:reply-to:sender:to:subject:mime-version:content-type:x-google-sender-auth; b=MKT3iLuO6BA1YHd2YUo9aLkTHf3Vr1cUf0hGTwdh7M0FA/MI63AeJdXzNVXa2ltk1A5BfyxkoeU6NaHEz/p5q7GND1FuVXijBUB3CM/I6yCsdDDHls5mVowjcAQNBEQFBcD5wdJ2KWeeKiUidAZsexwDMPdt+nfgbOj3IsXDuO4= Received: by 10.49.94.19 with SMTP id w19mr862676nfl; Tue, 23 May 2006 15:49:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.48.206.13 with HTTP; Tue, 23 May 2006 15:49:43 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: Date: Wed, 24 May 2006 07:49:43 +0900 From: "Ajith Abraham" Reply-To: abraham.ajith@gmail.com To: corpora@lists.uib.no, wfsc-list@eecs.berkeley.edu Subject: [Corpora-List] NWeSP'06 - Call for Papers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_Part_32407_21346018.1148424583918" X-Google-Sender-Auth: 20fcc57e9adfbe04 X-checked-clean: by exiscan on noralf X-Scanner: 4ee9d70e649a64f63df48ee6dbe4d93d http://tjinfo.uib.no/virus.html X-UiB-SpamFlag: NO UIB: -14.6 hits, 8.0 required X-UiB-SpamReport: spamassassin found; 0.0 Received by mail server with no name -15 From is listed in 'whitelist_SA' 0.0 BODY: HTML included in message 0.3 BODY: Message is 10% to 20% HTML List-Id: Sender: owner-corpora@lists.uib.no Precedence: bulk ------=_Part_32407_21346018.1148424583918 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline ** Call for Papers ** International Conference on Next Generation Web Services Practices (NWeSP'06) September 25-28, 2006 Seoul, Korea http://www.nwesp.org Proceedings published by IEEE CS press NWeSP'05 Proceedings: http://csdl2.computer.org/persagen/DLPublication.jsp?pubtype=p&acronym=NWESP Call for Papers International Conference on Next generation Web Services Practices (NWeSP'06) is a forum which brings together researchers and practitioners specializing on different aspects of Web based information systems.

JeanPhi. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Cltphds] [Clt] CFP Date: Wed, 24 May 2006 11:17:41 +1000 From: Rolf Schwitter To: CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Logic and Computation - Special Issue on Natural Language and Knowledge Representation We cordially invite submissions of articles for a special issue of the journal of logic and computation on natural language and knowledge representation. TOPICS We believe that the Natural Language Processing (NLP) and the Knowledge Representation (KR) communities have common goals. They are both concerned with representing knowledge and with reasoning, since the best test for the semantic capability of an NLP system is performing reasoning tasks. Having these two essential common grounds, the two communities ought to have been collaborating, to provide a well-suited representation language that covers these grounds. However, the two communities also have difficult-to-meet concerns. Mainly, the semantic representation (SR) should be expressive enough and take the information in context into account, while the KR should be equipped with a fast reasoning process. The main objection against using an SR or a KR is that they need experts to be understood. Non-experts communicate (usually) via a natural language (NL), and more or less they understand each other while performing a lot of reasoning. An essential practical value of representations is their attempt to be transparent. This will particularly be useful when/if the system provides a justification for a user or a knowledge engineer on its line of reasoning using the underlying KR (i.e. without generating back to NL). We all seem to believe that, compared to Natural Language, the existing Knowledge Representation and reasoning systems are poor. Nevertheless, for a long time, the KR community has dismissed the idea that NL can be a KR. That's because NL can be very ambiguous and there are syntactic and semantic processing complexities associated with it. However, researchers in both communities have started looking at this issue again. Possibly, it has to do with the NLP community making some progress in terms of processing and handling ambiguity, the KR community realising that a lot of knowledge is already 'coded' in NL and that one should reconsider the way they handle expressivity and ambiguity. For this special journal issue of logic and computation, we invite the submission of original high quality articles. Topics for this special issue include but not limited to: + A novel NL-like KR or building on an existing one + Reasoning systems that benefit from properties of NL to reason with NL + Semantic representation used as a KR: compromise between expressivity and efficiency? + More Expressive KR for NL understanding (Any compromise?) + Any work exploring how existing representations fall short of addressing some problems involved in modelling, manipulating or reasoning (whether reasoning as used to get an interpretation for a certain utterance, exchange of utterances or what utterances follow from other utterances) with NL documents + Representations that show how classical logics are not as efficient, transparent, expressive or where a one-step application of an inference rule require more (complex) steps in a classical environment and vice-versa; i.e. how classical logics are more powerful, etc. + Building a reasoning test collection for natural language understanding systems: any kind of reasoning (deductive, abductive, etc); for a deductive test suite see for e.g. deliverable 16 of the FraCas project. Also, look at textual entailment challenges 1 and 2. + Comparative results (on a common test suite or a common task) of different representations or systems that reason with NL (again any kind of reasoning). The comparison could be either for efficiency, transparency or expressivity + Knowledge acquisition systems or techniques that benefit from properties of NL to acquire knowledge already "coded" in NL + Automated Reasoning, Theorem Proving and KR communities views on all this + Challenges in Natural Language and Reasoning + Where is the NLP or KR community going wrong/right in meeting the challenges?

CALL FOR PAPERS

Journal of Logic and Computation - Special Issue on Natural Language
and Knowledge Representation

We cordially invite submissions of articles for a special issue of the
journal of logic and computation <http://logcom.oxfordjournals.org/>
on natural language and knowledge representation.

TOPICS

We believe that the Natural Language Processing (NLP) and the Knowledge
Representation (KR) communities have common goals. They are both
concerned with representing knowledge and with reasoning, since the
best test for the semantic capability of an NLP system is performing
reasoning tasks.  Having these two essential common grounds, the two
communities ought to have been collaborating, to provide a well-suited
representation language that covers these grounds.  However, the two
communities also have difficult-to-meet concerns. Mainly, the semantic
representation (SR) should be expressive enough and take the information
in context into account, while the KR should be equipped with a fast
reasoning process.

The main objection against using an SR or a KR is that they need
experts to be understood. Non-experts communicate (usually) via a
natural language (NL), and more or less they understand each other
while performing a lot of reasoning. An essential practical value
of representations is their attempt to be transparent. This will
particularly be useful when/if the system provides a justification
for a user or a knowledge engineer on its line of reasoning using
the underlying KR (i.e. without generating back to NL).

We all seem to believe that, compared to Natural Language, the
existing Knowledge Representation and reasoning systems are poor.
Nevertheless, for a long time, the KR community has dismissed the
idea that NL can be a KR.  That's because NL can be very ambiguous
and there are syntactic and semantic processing complexities associated
with it. However, researchers in both communities have started looking
at this issue again. Possibly, it has to do with the NLP community
making some progress in terms of processing and handling ambiguity,
the KR community realising that a lot of knowledge is already 'coded'
in NL and that one should reconsider the way they handle expressivity
and ambiguity.

For this special journal issue of logic and computation, we invite the
submission of original high quality articles.   Topics for this special
issue include but not limited to:

+ A novel NL-like KR or building on an existing one

+ Reasoning systems that benefit from properties of NL to reason with NL

+ Semantic representation used as a KR: compromise between expressivity
   and efficiency?

+ More Expressive KR for NL understanding (Any compromise?)

+ Any work exploring how existing representations fall short of
   addressing some problems involved in modelling, manipulating or
   reasoning (whether reasoning as used to get an interpretation for
   a certain utterance, exchange of utterances or what utterances
   follow from other utterances) with NL documents

+ Representations that show how classical logics are not as efficient,
   transparent, expressive or where a one-step application of an
   inference rule require more (complex) steps in a classical environment
   and vice-versa; i.e. how classical logics are more powerful, etc.

+ Building a reasoning test collection for natural language
   understanding systems: any kind of reasoning (deductive, abductive,
   etc); for a deductive test suite see for e.g. deliverable 16 of the
   FraCas project. Also, look at textual entailment challenges 1 and 2.

+ Comparative results (on a common test suite or a common task) of
   different representations or systems that reason with NL (again any
   kind of reasoning). The comparison could be either for efficiency,
   transparency or expressivity

+ Knowledge acquisition systems or techniques that benefit from
   properties of NL to acquire knowledge already "coded" in NL

+ Automated Reasoning, Theorem Proving and KR communities views on
   all this

+ Challenges in Natural Language and Reasoning

+ Where is the NLP or KR community going wrong/right in meeting the
   challenges?

As the nature of the tasks in Senseval has evolved to include semantic analysis tasks outside of word sense disambiguation, the Senseval Committee is pleased to announce the debut of ''SemEval: Evaluating Semantics''. In 2007, the SemEval workshop will retain the Senseval name to help ease the transition to the new name. We welcome proposals for any tasks that can test an automatic system for semantic analysis of text, be it application dependent or independent. We especially encourage tasks for different languages, cross-lingual tasks, and tasks that are relevant to particular NLP applications such as machine translation, information retrieval and information extraction. It will help us if tasks are designed in such a way that they can be run and scored automatically from a central website (as in Senseval-3). We will be happy to help with task design, data formatting, and so on. Information on the design of tasks from Senseval-1, -2, and -3 can be found at: http://www.senseval.org/senseval3/ http://193.133.140.102/senseval2/ http://www.itri.brighton.ac.uk/events/senseval/ARCHIVE/index.html The time period for SemEval-1/Senseval-4 has not yet been finalised, but it will likely be held over a 45-day period sometime during the first quarter of 2007. SUBMISSION DETAILS Proposals for tasks will ideally contain: - A description of the task (max 1 page) - How the training/testing data will be built and/or procured - The evaluation methodology to be used, including clear evaluation criteria - The anticipated availability of necessary resources to the participants (copyright, etc) - The resources required to prepare the task (computation and annotation time, etc) If you are not yet at a point to provide outlines of all of these, that is acceptable, but please give some thought to each, and present a sketch of your first ideas. We will gladly give feedback. Please submit proposals as soon as possible, preferably by electronic mail in plain ASCII text to the SemEval-1 / Senseval-4 email address: semeval@nlp.cs.swarthmore.edu IMPORTANT DATES July 1, 2006 Submission deadline for task proposals July 15, 2006 Notification of acceptance TENTATIVE SCHEDULE November 1, 2006 Preliminary call for participation January 1, 2007 Call for participation, release of trial data March 2007 Estimated Evaluation Period (45 days in total) Summer 2007 Workshop, possibly co-located with ACL or NAACL SEMEVAL-1 / SENSEVAL-4 CHAIRS Richard Wicentowski, Swarthmore College Lluís Màrquez, Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) Eneko Agirre, University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU) SEMEVAL-1 / SENSEVAL-4 WEBSITE http://nlp.cs.swarthmore.edu/semeval/ Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics Semantics ----------------------------------------------------------- LINGUIST List: Vol-17-1577 From - Thu Dec 10 14:22:56 2009 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Gmail-Received: 8b519c2f60f25f94fdbba60bd27f9a3af4d47e0e Delivered-To: jpprost@gmail.com Received: by 10.65.222.4 with SMTP id z4cs9987qbq; Wed, 24 May 2006 08:09:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.67.106.3 with SMTP id i3mr1432614ugm; Wed, 24 May 2006 08:09:31 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: Received: from noralf.uib.no (noralf.uib.no [129.177.30.12]) by mx.gmail.com with ESMTP id k2si7395696ugf.2006.05.24.08.09.27; Wed, 24 May 2006 08:09:31 -0700 (PDT) Received-SPF: pass (gmail.com: domain of owner-corpora@lists.uib.no designates 129.177.30.12 as permitted sender) Received: from blenda.uib.no [129.177.30.130] by noralf.uib.no with esmtp (Exim 4.34) id 1Fiuyw-0000OL-AN; Wed, 24 May 2006 17:09:06 +0200 Received: from majordomo by blenda.uib.no with local (Exim 4.60) id 1Fiv5f-000K5x-Ry; Wed, 24 May 2006 17:16:03 +0200 Received: from rolf.uib.no [129.177.30.19] by blenda.uib.no with esmtp (Exim 4.60) id 1Fiv5a-000K5s-G2; Wed, 24 May 2006 17:15:58 +0200 Received: from mallory.itri.bton.ac.uk (mailhost.itri.brighton.ac.uk) [194.81.196.98] by rolf.uib.no for corpora@uib.no with esmtp (Exim 4.34) id 1Fiuyk-0004ow-AM; Wed, 24 May 2006 17:08:56 +0200 Received: from stark.itri.bton.ac.uk ([194.81.196.88] helo=stark.itri.brighton.ac.uk) by mailhost.itri.brighton.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.44) id 1Fiup7-0001G2-83 for corpora@uib.no; Wed, 24 May 2006 15:58:57 +0100 Received: from localhost (asb@localhost) by stark.itri.brighton.ac.uk (8.11.6+Sun/8.11.6) with ESMTP id k4OF8ko16442 for ; Wed, 24 May 2006 16:08:46 +0100 (BST) X-Authentication-Warning: stark.itri.brighton.ac.uk: asb owned process doing -bs Date: Wed, 24 May 2006 16:08:46 +0100 (BST) From: Anja Belz To: corpora@uib.no Subject: [Corpora-List] Final call for oral presentations: Open Mic at INLG 2006 Special Session on Sharing Data and Comparative Evaluation, at Coling-ACL 2006 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-checked-clean: by exiscan on rolf X-Scanner: 06532d60aba7dab96a07dacec49b2bd9 http://tjinfo.uib.no/virus.html X-UiB-SpamFlag: NO UIB: 0.0 hits, 8.0 required X-UiB-SpamReport: spamassassin found; 0.1 Received: contains a forged HELO List-Id: Sender: owner-corpora@lists.uib.no Precedence: bulk *** Invited Speaker: Prof Kathy McKeown, Columbia University *** INLG 2006 Special Session on Sharing Data and Comparative Evaluation -------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Call for Abstracts for Oral Presentations at Open Mic Session ------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT THIS IS ABOUT Unlike many other areas within natural language processing, Natural Language Generation (NLG) does not have a tradition of sharing data resources, and no tradition of comparative evaluation of alternative techniques. We believe the introduction of a shared task for NLG would be of benefit to the community, both internally and in terms of making the field more visible to those outside the community. We would like to move discussion on this topic forward by means of a special session at INLG'06. The focus of the session will be to move us closer to an answer to the question: what would a shared task for NLG look like? BACKGROUND Over the past year, in particular at ENLG'05 and UCNLG'05, NLG researchers have started discussing ways in which the field might move towards a situation where sharing data and other resources becomes possible and comparative evaluation results can be produced. It is clear that the wide range of tasks and issues of interest to researchers in NLG makes it difficult to identify a single set of data that can be used by many, or a single task that could serve as the basis for comparative evaluation of techniques. For this reason we believe it is important to see if we can establish a consensus view amongst NLG researchers as to the content and focus of a shared task. The paper submission deadline has passed, but we are still accepting submissions of the second type: (2) Abstracts for oral presentations during an Open Mic session on the topics of the special session. We hope to involve a good number of NLG researchers, and particularly encourage contributions likely to stimulate discussion. SUBMISSION Abstracts for the Open Mic part of the special session should not exceed 300 words in length and preferably be in plain text format.

Registration forms available on the website Workshop ======== Presupposition accommodation is at the intersection of central issues in semantics, pragmatics, psycholinguistics, artificial intelligence and philosophy of language. When an utterance presupposes information which the addressee doesn't already know (e.g. "I'm on my way to my daughter's graduation" presupposes that the speaker has a daughter), the addressee may sometimes cooperatively accommodate that information, behaving as though he already knew it to be true, and go on to respond to the assertion ("Congratulations!"). Accommodation has broad implications for the theory of linguistic interpretation because it involves many of the same processes and constraints as in the recognition of contextual effects generally. In addition to its ramifications for theories of meaning in linguistics and for philosophical discussions of the nature of meaning, presupposition accommodation bears on psycholinguistic theories of human linguistic competence, illustrating the interaction between linguistic and non-linguistic (general cognitive) processes. And an appreciation of how it functions is important for the creation of software that aims to systematically interpret or produce language in context. With support from the Ohio State University Colleges of the Arts and Humanities and the National Science Foundation, we are offering a workshop on presupposition accommodation, with invited participants from across several fields in cognitive science. Invited participants: Barbara Abbott, Michigan State University, Linguistics Dorit Abusch, Cornell University, Linguistics David Beaver, Stanford University, Linguistics Anne Bezuidenhuit, University of South Carolina, Philosophy Gregory Carlson, University of Rochester, Linguistics Joshua Dever, University of Texas at Austin, Philosophy Kai Von Fintel, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Linguistics Lyn Frazier, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Psycholinguistics Bart Geurts, University of Nijmegen, Philosophy Anthony Gillies, University of Michigan, Philosophy Jerry Hobbs, University of Southern California, Computer Science Laurence R. Horn, Yale University, Linguistics Staffan Larsson, Gothenburg University, Linguistics Mats Rooth, Cornell University, Linguistics Tony Sanford, Glasgow University, Psychology Mandy Simons, Carnegie Mellon University, Philosophy Matthew Stone, Rutgers University, Computer Science Zoltán Szabò, Cornell University, Philosophy Michael Tanenhaus, University of Rochester, Psychology Rich Thomason, University of Michigan, Philosophy and Computer Science Gregory Ward, Northwestern University, Linguistics Henk Zeevat, University of Amsterdam, Linguistics Poster Session ============== We invite submissions for a poster session on the second day of the workshop, Saturday, October 14, 2006. Posters are welcome on any topics relevant for presupposition accommodation, including (but not limited to) theoretical and applied work on: • the nature of presupposition and of particular presupposition triggers, • the role of abductive reasoning in calculating intended meaning, and • the character of pragmatic repair. Work on computational models, both interpretation and generation, and on human acquisition and processing are particularly solicited. The abstract should be no more than 500 words (not including figures and references) and should include a header which provides contact information for the primary contact author. Send this information to the organizers, at prag-conf(a)ling.ohio-state.edu (replacing (a) in the email address with the ‘at’ sign). Deadline for abstract submissions: Midnight (US) EST, July 31, 2006. Acceptance will be notified by August 21, 2006. Poster session date: October 14, 2006. Intensive Short Course on Presupposition and Accommodation: =========================================================== As an introduction to the material discussed in the Workshop on Presupposition Accommodation, the OSU Pragmatics Initiative is offering a one-week intensive course for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who wish to improve their understanding of the topic of presupposition accommodation. The course is intended to prepare students to maximally benefit from attendance at the interdisciplinary Workshop on Presupposition Accommodation, and to contribute to scholarship in this field. The course will provide students with the opportunity to explore presupposition and accommodation in each of the five academic fields represented at the workshop. Discussions and assigned readings will cover both foundational material and current developments, including papers commissioned for the workshop. The course will take place October 8 - 13. Please see the course website for a list of instructors. How to Register for Course ========================== Thanks to support from our sponsors, there is no charge to attend the course. Due to space restrictions, however, participation will be limited. Priority will be given to students with adequate background in a related field. To enroll for the course, complete the registration form that is downloadable from the Workshop website at http://www.pragmatics.osu.edu. All students in the short course are expected to attend the Workshop on Presupposition Accommodation, taking place immediately after the course on October 13,14 and 15. Travel Grants for Course ======================== The National Science Foundation has funded a number of travel fellowships for students and postdoctoral fellows who wish to attend the course. Fellowship students will be reimbursed for their transportation and housing expenses incurred to attend the course and workshop.

July, 31st, 2007 Deadline for reserving a room Planning of the meeting Sept. 27 Arrival and registration. Evening session. Sept. 28-29 Conference Sept. 30 Outing Special one-day topic: Morphology and Dialectal Variation Variation constitutes an important property of human language in time, as well as in geographical and social space. Dialectal variation is fundamental for all branches of linguistics, and more particularly for morphology, where theoretical hypotheses can be tested on dialectal data, which deviate from standard linguistic forms. The exploitation of such data may present new challenges to the formulation of theoretical proposals, help to develop efficient theoretical tools, and enhance more sophisticated analyses. The aim of this session is to bring together morphologists working with dialects of various languages in order to promote research in dialectal morphology, and improve our understanding of variation in human language. We encourage abstract submission dealing with dialectal data of all language types, all word-formation domains, i.e. derivation, compounding and inflection, and with analyses of synchronic or diachronic interest. Ithaca (Ithaki): a few words Ithaca, the small and beautiful island of Ulysses is in the middle of the Ionian sea, at 52 miles from Patras. It is mountainous, but also full of vegetation, and the climate is mild with no strong winds. Its population counts about 2.500 people, and most of them live in the capital Vathy. The island has several picturesque villages (Perachori, Stavros, Exogi, Kioni, etc.), and beaches (Filiatro, Afales, Kurvulia, etc.). The caves of Eumaeus and Nymphes, the Aretousa spring, and the monastery of Kathara are some of the most exciting places to visit. Ithaca can be reached by boat from Patras* (12 Euros), or from the close by island of Kefalonia (2-3 Euros), where is the nearest airport. Everyday boats from Patras leave at 8.30, and 16.00, and the trip is about 4 hours, while the trip from Kefalonia is only 10-15 minutes. For more information on Ithaca, see http//: www.ithacagreece.com Lodging information and other details will appear on the meeting's Website soon. The organizing committee Geert Booij (Leiden), Angela Ralli (Patras), Sergio Scalise (Bologna) * Patras can be reached by boat from Italy (Trieste, Venice, Ancona, Bari, Brindisi), and by train or bus (2.30 - 3.30 hours) from Athens Airport. ----------------------------------------------------------- LINGUIST List: Vol-17-1584 From - Thu Dec 10 14:22:57 2009 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Gmail-Received: 9501f010696402ea5be76eaec853eab86ec36288 Delivered-To: jpprost@gmail.com Received: by 10.65.222.4 with SMTP id z4cs20744qbq; Wed, 24 May 2006 12:13:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.35.49.4 with SMTP id b4mr827704pyk; Wed, 24 May 2006 12:13:07 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: Received: from listserv.linguistlist.org (listserv.linguistlist.org [164.76.102.107]) by mx.gmail.com with ESMTP id t70si1072459pyg.2006.05.24.12.12.58; Wed, 24 May 2006 12:13:07 -0700 (PDT) Received-SPF: pass (gmail.com: best guess record for domain of owner-linguist@listserv.linguistlist.org designates 164.76.102.107 as permitted sender) Received: from listserv (listserv [164.76.102.107]) by listserv.linguistlist.org (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id k4OJ7j60008316; Wed, 24 May 2006 15:12:56 -0400 (EDT) Received: by LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 14.4) with spool id 488650 for LINGUIST@LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG; Wed, 24 May 2006 15:12:44 -0400 Approved-By: linguist@LINGUISTLIST.ORG Received: from linguistlist.org (linguistlist.org [164.76.102.53]) by listserv.linguistlist.org (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id k4OIx3Vl007080 for ; Wed, 24 May 2006 14:59:03 -0400 (EDT) Received: from linguistlist.org (linguistlist.org [164.76.102.53]) by linguistlist.org (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id k4OIwNhx029509; Wed, 24 May 2006 14:58:53 -0400 (EDT) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 X-Mailer: ColdFusion MX Application Server X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-2.0.2 (listserv.linguistlist.org [164.76.102.107]); Wed, 24 May 2006 15:12:57 -0400 (EDT) X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-2.0.2 (listserv.linguistlist.org [164.76.102.107]); Wed, 24 May 2006 14:59:03 -0400 (EDT) X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-2.0.2 (linguistlist.org [164.76.102.53]); Wed, 24 May 2006 14:58:53 -0400 (EDT) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by listserv.linguistlist.org id k4OIx3Vl007087 Message-ID: <26953486.1148497133720.JavaMail.nobody@linguistlist.org> Date: Wed, 24 May 2006 14:58:53 -0400 Reply-To: linguist@LINGUISTLIST.ORG Sender: The LINGUIST Discussion List From: linguist@LINGUISTLIST.ORG Subject: 17.1586, Calls: Applied Ling/Spain;Ling Theories/Neuroling/Germany Comments: To: gayatri@linguistlist.org, linglike@linguistlist.org To: LINGUIST@LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG Precedence: list LINGUIST List: Vol-17-1586.

The workshop will take place as part of the Annual Conference of the German Linguistics Society (DGfS): http://www.dgfs.de/cgi-bin/dgfs.pl/tagung Call for Workshop: Experimental evidence for minimal structure In the past decade, the notion of minimality has received a lot of attention in various linguistic domains. For instance, minimal structure plays a prominent role in syntactic theory where a crucial assumption is that phrase structure building processes follow principles of minimality. In analogy, recent morphological approaches have proposed that inflectional systems can be captured by a minimal set of morphosyntactic categories and features. In phonology, but also in other linguistic domains, optimality-theoretic analyses have been adopted to account for the occurrence of the optimal (unmarked) surface form. It has further been proposed that principles of minimal structure are reflected in language processing and our workshop therefore aims at linking theoretical claims with experimental findings. We invite presentations from all linguistic domains (including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics) that provide psycho- and neurolinguistic evidence for the validity of minimal structures. In this respect, we also invite presentations that address conflict resolution strategies that are required in cases where minimal structures from two (or more) domains clash and where as a result, the output has to violate the minimality priniciple of one of the subdomains. Presentations will be 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion.

ODBASE'06 intends to draw a highly diverse body of researchers and practitioners by being part of the Federated Symposium Event "On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems 2006" that co-locates four conferences: ODBASE'06, DOA'06 (International Symposium on Distributed Objects and Applications), CoopIS'06 (International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems), and GADA'06 (International Symposium on Grid computing, high-performAnce and Distributed Applications). Of particular relevance to ODBASE'06 are papers that bridge traditional boundaries between disciplines such as databases, artificial intelligence, networking, computational linguistics, and mobile computing. ODBASE'06 also encourages the submission of research and practical experience papers concerning scalability issues in ontology management, information integration, and data mining, as well as papers that examine the information needs of various applications, including electronic commerce, electronic government, mobile systems, and bioinformatics. ODBASE'06 will consider two categories of papers: research and experience. Research papers must contain novel, unpublished results. Experience papers must describe existing, realistically large systems. Preference will be given to papers that describe software products or systems that are in wide experimental use. TOPICS OF INTEREST Specific areas of interest to ODBASE'06 include but are not limited to: * Knowledge acquisition, extraction and representation * Ontology approaches, models, theories, and languages * Ontology evolution * Semantic Web Services * Hypertext, multimedia, and hypermedia semantics * Semi-structured data * Management of Large Ontology Bases * Ontology modularization * Data and ontology integration, merge, alignment, fusion * Semantic Middleware * Ontological support in location-aware services and mobile information systems * Information Dissemination * Searching and Managing Dynamic Contents * Self-organization in Information Systems * Emergent semantics in peer-to-peer architectures * Data Filtering, Cleansing, and Summarization * Metadata Management Applications, Evaluations, and Experiences in the following domains: * Media Archives and Digital Libraries * Enterprise-wide Information Systems * Web-based Information Systems * Web Services * Electronic Commerce * Electronic Government * Scientific Databases * Bioinformatics * Ubiquitous and Mobile Information Systems IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission (hard) Deadline May 30, 2006 Paper Submission Deadline June 10, 2006 Acceptance Notification August 5, 2006 Final Version Due August 20, 2006 Conference October 29, 2006 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers submitted to ODBASE'06 must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference.

The paradigm involves interconnected networks of information systems that manage large amounts of possibly heterogeneous information and computing services and cooperate as-needed to fulfil their mission. The CoopIS conference series has established a prestigious international forum for exchanging ideas and results on scientific research from a variety of Computer Science areas, such as CSCW, Internet data management, electronic commerce, human-computer interaction, workflow management, agent technologies, and software architectures, to name a few. As in previous years, CoopIS'06 will be part of a joint event with two other conferences, Distributed Object and Applications (DOA) and Ontologies, Databases and Applications of Semantics (ODBASE). The technical programme for the three conferences will be organized within the global theme "On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems". All three events will be hosted in Montpelier, France from October 29 to November 3, 2006. More details about the federated event can be found at http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf CoopIS'06 is intended to provide a platform for a useful exchange between researchers and practitioners, and to foster the cross-fertilization of ideas. Topics that are addressed by this conference are logically grouped in four broad areas and include but are not limited to: * Business Process Modeling and Management o Business Process Integration and Management o Distributed Workflow Management and Systems o Web services, business processes and web services choreography o Integrated supply chains * Advanced Middleware and Architectures o Advanced middleware architectures o Federated and distributed systems and architectures o Semantic interoperability o Model driven architectures o Multi-agent systems and architectures for CIS o Peer-to-peer and grid technologies o Enterprise Grids architectures and services o Markets, auctions, exchanges, and coalitions o Self-adapting systems o Concurrent engineering and distributed groupware frameworks o Collaboration and negotiation protocols o Matchmaking, and brokering o Security and privacy in CIS * Information Services and Modeling o Software and information services for CIS o Web information systems and service o Multi-modal delivery mechanisms and protocols for CIS applications o CIS applications, modeling and software development techniques o Customization of information systems o Enterprise knowledge management o Data and knowledge modelling * CIS Applications o CIS applications for e-business, e-commerce, e-government o Medical and biological information systems o CIS in the telecommunications industry o Other industrial applications of CIS IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission (hard) Deadline May 30, 2006 Paper Submission Deadline June 10, 2006 Acceptance Notification August 5, 2006 Final Version Due August 20, 2006 Conference October 29, 2006 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers submitted to CoopIS'06 must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference.

Workshop on the Interface between Lexical and Discourse Semantics Call for Papers Call Deadline: 15/07 The issue of exploring lexical semantic knowledge for the needs of discourse semantic analysis and the use of discourse knowledge for a better understanding of lexical semantics has been addressed by a number of scholars. The goal of this workshop is to investigate the interface between these two distinct levels of linguistic representation more closely. It has proven to be difficult to isolate the appropriate lexical and discourse knowledge that play a role in the interaction between these two levels, since the needs and granularity of information in the representation of both levels are expected to be different. These questions have been addressed from both a theoretical and computational point of view, since computational semantic models of discourse seek to integrate lexical knowledge in their analyses in order to improve the efficiency of their inferences concerning the intersentential connectedness. We therefore welcome contributions from both theoretical and computational perspectives. The workshop is organized as a satellite event of the KONVENS06, which takes place in Konstanz this year. The webpage of the workshop appears as part (subsection) of the webpage of KONVENS06, http://ling.uni-konstanz.de/pages/conferences/konvens06/ Submissions: Contributions to this subject from both lexical and discourse (computational or not) semantics are welcome. Authors should submit an *anonymous* paper of at most 3 pages, 12 font size, in PDF format (for talks with a duration of 25' plus 10' discussion) via e-mail to Alexandros.Tantos@uni-konstanz.de. Printable versions of the accepted papers will be published in the KONVENS' on-line proceedings.

Prosodic Variation and Grammar Writing Full Title: Standard Prosody or Prosody of Linguistic Standards? Prosodic Variation and Grammar Writing Date: 28-Feb-2007 - 02-Mar-2007 Location: Siegen, Germany Contact Person: Jörg Peters Meeting Email: j.peters@let.ru.nl Web Site: http://www.let.ru.nl/gep/jp/dgfs2007/main.html Linguistic Field(s): Linguistic Theories; Phonetics; Phonology Call Deadline: 15-Aug-2006 Meeting Description: With the advances of prosodic theory in the last few decades, descriptive grammars have paid more and more attention to prosody. Encyclopaedic grammars like the Comprehensive grammar of the English language (Quirk et al. 1985) and the 7th edition of the Dudengrammatik (2005) even devote entire chapters to prosody. Those grammars claim to describe national standard languages, which are codified in written language. Prosody, however, is only partly codified, if at all. The question arises whether there is nonetheless a standard prosody shared by all speakers of a national standard language on which grammars can be built. Until the mid 90s of the last century, prosodic research mainly dealt with standard languages, using impressionistic judgements or a few speakers of the standard language as their data source. In the last decade, prosodic variation has become one of the fastest-growing topics, especially in Autosegmental Phonology and in spoken language research. The findings ! in these research areas challenge the view that there is a single standard prosody shared by all speakers of a standard language. One of the tasks of prosodic research, therefore, will be to examine how much variation is involved in the prosody used by speakers of national standard languages, and, more generally, to examine the implications prosodic variation has for grammatical description. CALL FOR PAPERS Papers on all topics related to prosodic variation and the relevance of prosody for grammar writing are welcome. In particular, we encourage contributions to - the prosody of standard and non-standard varieties - regional, social, and stylistic variation of prosody - syntactic structure and prosodic variation - the modelling of prosody as part of grammars. Presentations will be 20 minutes long followed by a 10-minute question period. The workshop will be part of the Annual Meeting of the German Society of Linguistics (DGfS) (http://www.dgfs.de). SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS Abstracts should fit on one page (using 2.5 cm margins on each side and 12pt font size). The body should include the following information: author's name(s), affiliation, email address, and title of abstract. All abstracts must be submitted as PDF documents. If you encounter a problem creating a PDF file, please contact us for further assistance. Please send your submission electronically to all three organizers (see below).

Mother tongue Literature in mother tongue education should certainly play a very important role in Taiwan as well. Mother tongue education in Taiwan has been practiced for more than four years. Has mother tongue literature played an important role the way as it has been expected? Has its function been elaborated? How have the mother tongue literature and mother tongue education been carried into practice in other countries? Can we learn from the experience from them so that we could practice our mother tongue education more smoothly? Of course, we have acquired the actual experience through the four-year execution of mother tongue education. In addition to theory discussion, we would discuss more on teaching materials, education policy, and teacher training programs.

It will bring together researchers from various areas (historical linguistics, creolistics, computational linguistics, ...) that are interested in the application of evolutionary concepts to natural language. The workshop is part of the annual meeting of the DGfS (German Linguistic Society). THE ROLE OF VARIATION IN LANGUAGE EVOLUTION Workshop at the 29th annual meeting of the German Association for Linguistics (DGfS). Siegen, 28 February - 2 March, 2007 Organized by Regine Eckardt (Göttingen) & Gerhard Jäger (Bielefeld) Theme It is a basic assumption of functional linguistics that the language system is the result of adaptation to the pressure of language usage. This has succinctly been expressed by Du Bois' (1987) dictum ''Languages code best what speakers do most.'' Formal linguists have largely remained skeptical towards the functional approach because of its teleological flavor. Prima facie, there is no causal mechanism linking the cognitively founded properties of the language system to the properties of language use. This predicament is reminiscent to the issue of adaptation in biology, and it is well-known that evolutionary theory offers a non-teleological, causal explanation there. In the past ten years or so, various authors (Nowak, Hurford, Kirby, Croft, Haspelmath inter alia) have proposed to apply evolutionary concepts to language. Under this conception, variation is essential to establish the link between language usage and language system. Among extant theories of (cultural) language evolution, there is disagreement though about the precise nature of this link. Some authors (like Haspelmath) propose a quasi-Lamarckian view of language evolution. This means that variation itself is adaptive. There are also arguments for a quasi-Darwinian view whereas variation itself is non-adaptive (i.e. random, as far as the language system is concerned). Adaptation of the system to usage is achieved via a process of selection, because some linguistic variants are more apt to be acquired! by infants and to be imitated by adults than others (cf. for instance Kirby 1999). Topics The workshop will explore the precise role of linguistic variation in language evolution. We invite submissions to the following (and related) topics: - Empirical studies of language variation that are relevant for language evolution.

The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic and computation. ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a wide variety of topics within the three areas of interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and Computation. Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information. The ESSLLI 2007 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational, introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 19th annual Summer School on a wide range of timely topics that have demonstrated their relevance in the following fields: - Logic and Language - Logic and Computation - Language and Computation PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: Proposals should be submitted through a web form available at http://www.folli.org/submission.php All proposals should be submitted no later than ******* Thursday June 15, 2006. ******* Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision by October 2006. Proposers should follow the guidelines below while preparing their submissions; proposals that deviate can not be considered. GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION: Anyone interested in lecturing or organizing a workshop during ESSLLI-2007, please read the following information carefully. ALL COURSES: Courses are taught by 1 or max. 2 lecturers. They consists of five sessions (a one-week course), each session lasting 90 minutes. Lecturers who want to offer a long, two-week course should structure it as two independent one week courses (ideally, with an introductory part in the first week of ESSLLI, and a more advanced part during the second). The ESSLLI program committee has the right to select only one of the two proposed courses. Timetable for Course Proposal Submission: Jun 15, 2006: Proposal Submission Deadline Sep 15, 2006: Notification Jun 1, 2007: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course material (by ESSLLI Local Organizers) FOUNDATIONAL COURSES: These are strictly elementary courses not assuming any background knowledge. They are intended for people to get acquainted with the problems and techniques of areas new to them. Ideally, they should allow researchers from other fields to acquire the key competences of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the development of a truly interdisciplinary research community. Foundational courses may presuppose some experience with scientific methods in general, so as to be able to concentrate on the issues that are germane to the area of the course. INTRODUCTORY COURSES: Introductory courses are central to the activities of the Summer School. They are intended to equip students and young researchers with a good understanding of a field's basic methods and techniques. Introductory courses in, for instance, Language and Computation, can build on some knowledge of the component fields; e.g., an introductory course in computational linguistics should address an audience which is familiar with the basics of linguistics and computation. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the level of the course as compared to standard texts in the area (if available). ADVANCED COURSES: Advanced courses should be pitched at an audience of advanced Masters or PhD students. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites in detail. WORKSHOPS: The aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for advanced Ph.D. students and other researchers to present and discuss their work. Workshops should have a well defined theme, and workshop organizers should be specialists in the theme of the workshop. It is a strict requirement that organizers give a general introduction to the them during the first session of the workshop. They are also responsible for the organization and program of the workshop including inviting the submission of papers, reviewing, expenses of invited speakers, etc. Each workshop organizer will be responsible for producing the 1st Call for Papers in December, 2006. The call must make it clear that the workshop is open to all members of the LLI community. It should also note that all workshop contributors must register for the Summer School. Timetable for Workshop Proposal Submissions Jun 15, 2006: Proposal Submission Deadline Sep 15, 2006: Notification Nov 15, 2005: Deadline for receipt of Call for Papers (by ESSLLI PC chair) Dec 1, 2006: Workshop organizers send out (First) Call for Papers Feb 15, 2007: Deadline for Papers (suggested) May 1, 2007: Notification of Workshop Contributors (suggested) Jun 1, 2007: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready copy of Workshop Proceedings (by ESSLLI Local Organizers) Notice that workshop speakers will be required to register for the Summer School; however, they will be able to register at a reduced rate to be determined by the Local Organizers. FORMAT FOR PROPOSALS: The web-based form for submitting course and workshop proposals will be accessible at http://www.folli.org/submission.php. You will be required to submit the following information: * Name (name(s) of proposed lecturer(s)/organizer) * Address (contact addresses of proposed lecturer(s)/organizer; where possible, please include phone and fax numbers) * Title (title of proposed course/workshop) * Type (is this a workshop, a foundational course, an introductory course, or an advanced course?) * Section (does your proposal fit in Language & Computation, Language & Logic or Logic & Computation? name only one) * Description (in at most 150 words, describe the proposed contents and substantiate timeliness and relevance to ESSLLI) * External funding (will you be able to find external funding to help fund your travel and accommodation expenses? if so, how?) * Further particulars (any further information that is required by the above guidelines should be included here; in particular, indicate here your teaching experience in an interdisciplinary field as the one addressed by ESSLLI.) FINANCIAL ASPECTS: Prospective lecturers and workshop organizers should be aware that all teaching and organizing at the summer schools is done on a voluntary basis in order to keep the participants fees as low as possible. Lecturers and organizers are not paid for their contribution, but are reimbursed for travel and accommodation (up to a fixed, maximum amount that will be notified to lecturers when courses are accepted). It should be stressed that while proposals from all over the world are welcomed, the Summer School cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs, especially from destinations outside Europe. Please note the following: In case a course is to be taught by two lecturers, a lump sum is reimbursed to cover travel and accommodation expenses for one lecturer. The splitting of the sum is up to the lecturers. The local organizers highly appreciate it if, whenever possible, lecturers and workshop organizers find alternative funding to cover travel and accommodation expenses, and such issues might be taken into account when selecting courses.

Given a sentence, one formulation of the task consists of detecting basic event structures such as "who" did "what" to "whom", "when" and "where". From a linguistic point of view, a key component of the task corresponds to identifying the semantic arguments filling the roles of the sentence predicates. These predicates are mainly lexicalized by verbs but also by some verb nominalizations and adjectives. Typical predicate semantic arguments include Agent, Patient, and Instrument; semantic roles may also be found as adjuncts (e.g., Locative, Temporal, Manner, and Cause). The related tasks of determining the semantic relations among nouns and their modifiers, as well as prepositions and their arguments, are clearly important for text interpretation as well, and indeed often draw on similar role labels. As with many areas in computational linguistcs (CL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), work has proceeded for decades on manually created semantic grammars and other resources for supporting text interpretation (e.g., [Hirst 1987], [Pustejovsky 1995], [Copestake and Flickinger 2000]). This body of research has supported deep semantic analysis of language input, but has the drawbacks typical of such approaches in requiring intensive manual labor, often restricted to narrow domains. The growth of statistical machine learning methods, addressing these issues of the knowledge acquisition bottleneck, were for many years limited in this area to related problems of learning subcategorization frames [Briscoe and Carroll 1997] or classifying verbs according to argument structure properties [Merlo and Stevenson 2001] [Schulte im Walde 2000], due to the lack of appropriate resources to support such methods in labeling semantic roles of arguments. Recently, however, the compilation and manual annotation with semantic roles of medium-large corpora - the PropBank, NomBank, and FrameNet initiatives - has enabled the development of statistical approaches specifically for the task of semantic role labeling (SRL). SRL, especially focused on the labeling of verbal arguments and adjuncts, has become a well-defined task with a substantial body of work and comparative evaluation (e.g., see [Gildea and Jurafsky 2002], [Surdeanu et al. 2003], [Xue and Palmer 2004], [Pradhan et al. 2005], CoNLL Shared Task in 2004 and 2005, Senseval-3). The identification of such event frames holds potential for significant impact in many NLP applications, as suggested by the following works on Information Extraction [Surdeanu et al. 2003], Question Answering [Narayanan and Harabagiu 2004], Summarization [Melli et al. 2005], and Machine Translation [Boas 2002]; as well, work on noun modifier relations has been encouraging for related NLP tasks (e.g., [Moldovan and Badulescu 2005], [Rosario and Hearst 2004]). Although the use of SRL systems in real-world applications has so far been limited, the outlook is promising over the next several years for a spread of this type of analysis to a range of applications requiring some level of semantic interpretation. Moreover, the problem represents an excellent framework to perform research on CL and NLP techniques for acquiring and exploiting semantic relations among the different components of the structured output to be constructed. TOPICS ------ The call for papers of this special issue invites submissions of articles describing novel and challenging work and results in Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) and its applications, with emphasis on the evaluation of qualitative and quantitative aspects that give a deep insight on the SRL task and, in general, on the syntactico-semantic processing of natural language.

It will explore questions concerning (morphological) blocking and linguistic variation. The workshop is of interest for researchers working in the domain of theoretical linguistics, focusing on syntax, morphology, and semantics. In particular, we are looking forward to applications dealing with formal approaches to language variation and change. It is a long-standing idea in grammatical theory that the morphological component does not tolerate doublets for a given slot in a paradigm (cf. worse vs. *badder, thief vs. *stealer). Following insights of the Sanskrit grammarian P?n?ini, this generalization is usually modeled in terms of blocking rules that ensure that the availability of a more specific/marked form blocks the use of a less specific/marked form (cf. e.g. Kiparsky 1973, Anderson 1992, Wunderlich 1996, Noyer 1997, Stump 2001). Contrary to expectations, however, languages do show doublets: competing forms of a certain word or formative are quite common, due either to grammar-external factors such as language contact or to grammar-internal processes such as analogical change. This usually gives rise to linguistic variation involving forms that compete for a certain meaning or slot in a paradigm, e.g., regular and irregular past tense forms in German such as backte (reg.) vs. buk (irreg.) 'I/he/she/it baked'. A! fter some period of coexistence, the competition between forms whose meaning is compatible is usually resolved, either by the loss of one competing form or by a change in which one form adopts a different meaning. While the loss of doublets can again be attributed to the workings of blocking mechanisms (cf. Kroch 1994), the very possibility of this kind of variation raises a number of issues for any theory of blocking and for grammatical theory more generally: 1 What should a formal account of this type of linguistic variation look like? (e.g. Grammar Competition, Kroch 1989; equally optimal candidates under an OT account of blocking, Blutner 2000, Kiparsky 2004). 2 Which (grammar-internal/grammar-external) factors govern the distribution of competing forms? 3 Which factors determine the winner of the competition (e.g. simplicity in the case of analogical change vs. expressiveness in the case of grammaticalization processes)? 4 Are there similar phenomena in other domains of grammar such as syntax (e.g. competing structures/word orders) or semantics (cf. e.g. Blutner 2000, 2002)? Is there also competition not only within components of grammar but also between components (cf. Ackema & Neeleman 2001 who argue that morphological processes may bleed syntactic operations and vice versa)? The workshop is of interest for researchers working in the domain of theoretical linguistics, focusing on syntax, morphology, and semantics. In particular, we are looking forward to applications dealing with formal approaches to language variation and change. Presentations will be 40 minutes plus 20 minutes for discussion.

Dear all, Please find below the third and final call for papers for our theme session on lexical bootstrapping in early language and conceptual development. DEADLINE: May 31, 2006 With best wishes, Susanna Third and Final Call for Papers LEXICAL BOOTSTRAPPING IN CHILD LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AND CHILD CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT Theme session To be held at the SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE GERMAN COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS ASSOCIATION, Munich, 5-7 October 2006 PLEASE NOTE: - CLARIFICATION ABOUT CONTENTS OF SUBMITTED ABSTRACTS - POSSIBILITY OF PUBLICATION Apart from some few exceptions (Brown 1958, Nelson 1973), the research on child lexical development did not receive much attention from students of child language in the 1960s and 1970s. In opposition to some statements found in the more recent literature (Rothweiler & Meibauer 1999), this fact is not really surprising when one considers the very influential role then played by formal linguistics with its primacy of syntactic structures and the view of lexicon and semantics as something rather epiphenomenal. From the 1980s on, this state of affairs has changed dramatically. For one thing, over the last 25 years or so, there has been more and more interest in topics related to child lexical acquisition. Over these several years, the research has issued many relevant theoretical insights resp. assumptions, and methodologies about lexical development, such as the view of individual differences in early vocabulary composition in terms of a continuum between referential and expressive style (Nelson 1973) and the holophrastic nature of early words (Nelson 1985), the differentiation between expressive and receptive vocabulary, as well as the use of correlational methods (Bates et al. 1988), or the role of domain-general cognitive skills of categorisation and theory of mind (Tomasello 2003), amongst several others. Secondly and most importantly, this body of research (much of which has been done within functionalist-cognitivist frameworks) seems to allow for the formulation of general assumptions concerning child language development in general, as well as the interplay between language and conceptual development. Thus, especially studies focussing on within- and cross-domain developmental correlations seem to provide evidence for a Lexical Bootstrapping Hypothesis (Dale et al. 2000, Dionne et al. 2003), i.e., the assumption that early lexical development, as mapping of words to referents or their conceptualisations, and even to whole propositions, is not only prior to, but also pre-requisite for the emergence of morpho-syntactic constructions (which, incidentally, are not fundamentally different from words, in that they are equally form-meaning pairs). The lexical bootstrapping hypothesis presupposes an early stage in lexical development characterized by the learning of archilexemes, ! a term originally proposed by Zemb (1978), as grammarless lexemes composed of form and concept only, here understood as the means by which the child begins to cognize and categorize the world. Such assumption on the fundamental role of early lexical acquisition for later language development as a whole challenges the view about the primacy of syntax over lexicon and semantics that has been postulated in these 50 years of formal linguistics. For our special paper session, we would like to invite researchers interested in an exploratory discussion about lexical bootstrapping in child language and conceptual development, and willing to present their own studies as contributions to this discussion. Empirical, methodological and theoretical contributions dealing with aspects of word learning in the one-word phase (and perhaps also before) that might predict diverse aspects of later language and conceptual development of typically developing and impaired children may focus on one or more of the following questions and topics (evidently, other suggestions are equally welcome): - How can measures of, and assumptions on, early lexical development (vocabulary size, vocabulary composition, vocabulary growth rate, vocabulary style, vocabulary spurt, critical mass, others?) be correlated to measures of later grammatical emergence and development (emergence and proportion of multi-word utterances, Mean Length of Utterance, development of inflectional paradigms and use of function words, realisation of argument constructions, others?) How reliable are such correlations? - How can the study of early lexical development shed light on the issue of individual variance and developmental language disorders? Can aspects of early word learning (expressive vs. referential style, dissimilar timing of vocabulary development, peculiarities in vocabulary composition, peculiarities in the conceptual mapping, others?) provide criteria for a differentiation between mere individual variance and developmental disorder, as well as for a differentiation between transient and persistent disorders? Can such aspects be used in the context of early diagnosis of such disorders? - Which cognitive processes underlie word learning as both word-to-concept mapping and categorization task? Are there constraints and principles at play? What is the nature of such constraints--are they domain (=language) specific or domain general? How are they related to later language and conceptual development? - Does a notion of lexical bootstrapping in language acquisition preclude other bootstrapping mechanisms in the stages before the emergence of grammar, such as prosodic, semantic, syntactic bootstrapping, or can interplay amongst these types of bootstrapping mechanisms be assumed? - Related to the last question, how does the child construct her mental lexicon? How is it structured--is this structure modular or network-like or anything else? Which processes of reorganisation are at work along development? - Can early words (at least partially) be seen as holophrases in that they (at least partially) refer to whole propositions? Which developmental change(s) takes place in the transition from holophrastic one-word utterances to multi-word utterances? - Which evidences can be drawn from studies of word learning in children with cognitive developmental disorders (Down Syndrome, Williams Syndrome, others?), as well as in blind and deaf children? - Which insights can be drawn from research based on (i) corpora analyses; (ii) computer learning simulations; (iii) neural activation in experimental situations, such as categorisation tasks; (iv) lexical/conceptual processing in adults with and without language disorders (e.g. aphasia)? - Which similarities, differences or peculiarities can be observed when comparing mono- and multilingual word learning, as well as comparing monolingual and cross-linguistic studies? Depending on the number of contributions, the special session will take place at one or two days of the conference. The theme session will be framed by a paper introducing the topic of lexical bootstrapping in child language and conceptual development and, again depending on the number of contributions, one or two discussion rounds. BEFORE SENDING IT, MAKE SURE PLEASE THAT YOUR ABSTRACT: - indicates EXPLICITLY how and to which extent YOUR STUDY IS RELATED TO THE HYPOTHESIS OF LEXICAL BOOTSTRAPPING in child language and conceptual development. Does your study support or refute the lexical bootstrapping hypothesis? If yes, how and to which extent? If not, why not? - is detailed, i.e., it is about 1000 WORDS LONG, not including list of references, tables, diagrams, etc.; - indicates explicitly and in detail the EMPIRICAL BASIS of your study; this holds also for theoretical works, i.e., theoretical work might rely, for instance, on empirical studies of other researchers, but please NOT SOLELY ON INTROSPECTIVE METHODS; - contains a LIST OF THE REFERENCES mentioned. DEADLINE EXTENSION The deadline for abstract submission was extended to 31 May 2006. Participants will be notified of the acceptance of their papers by 1 July 2006. Participants should send us an updated abstract of their papers by 21 September 2006.

Phonology Workshop (Arbeitsgruppe 12) at the 29th Annual Meeting of the German Linguistics Society (DGfS) PROSODIC DOMAINS: UNIVERSALS AND DEVIATIONS University of Siegen, Germany February 28th - March 2nd, 2007 Organizers: Janet Grijzenhout Baris Kabak (University of Konstanz) Workshop description: Systematic phonological alternations often seem to be bound to a particular phonological domain. The theory of Prosodic Phonology (e.g. Selkirk 1980, 1986; Nespor & Vogel 1986; Hayes 1989) holds that speech is hierarchically organized into constituents that are not necessarily isomorphic to syntactic constituents. Previous literature has largely dealt with how morphological elements can be organized into the prosodic structure. It has been reported that within individual languages as well as cross-linguistically, there can be systematic differences in the prosodization of function words. For instance, Selkirk (1984) states that the principles of syntax-phonology mapping are blind to the presence of functional categories. Closer examination reveals that not only function words, but also various other morphological elements - e.g. suffixes and clitics - may vary with respect to the way they are prosodized. Moreover, within one syntactic category, elements may belong to differe! nt prosodic categories (e.g. the German preposition statt 'instead of' seems to function as a prosodic word, whereas in 'in' does not form a prosodic word of its own). Furthermore, morphological elements may behave as part of a prosodic domain x with respect to a (set of) phonological process(es) while they may seem to belong to another domain in the context of other processes (e.g., Turkish instrumental suffix -lA, which undergoes vowel harmony but fails to receive word-level right-most default stress). Also, the rules posited for morphology-phonology mapping seem to be based on circular logic: a syntactic category may determine the onset of a particular prosodic domain in which, for example, stress assignment takes place, but at the same time presence or absence of primary stress suggests the inclusion or exclusion of a particular element from that very same domain. Apart from various issues concerning phrasing algorithms and syntax-phonology mapping, the precise nature o! f the prosodic hierarchy and its various components have also been con troversial. While, for instance, several researchers questioned the necessity of the Clitic Group (e.g., Zec 1988; Booij 1988; Peperkamp 1997), others argue that the theory predicts even less structure than is attested across the languages of the world (e.g., recent work by Balthasar Bickel and colleagues at the University of Leipzig). In this workshop, we are specifically interested in the nature of the morphosyntax-phonology mapping and the principles that govern the prosodization of morphological elements, with special attention to cross-linguistic variation. In this respect, the following issues will be addressed: (i) how much of mapping rules is given by universal grammar versus language-specific principles?, (ii) do morphological elements bear any (lexical) information with respect to their morphophonological categorization (cf. Inkelas 1989) and how should that information be represented?, (iii) is there a set of universal prosodic domains and are all of the domains suggested in the literature necessary? We invite linguists who work on prosodic phonology and phonology-morphosyntax interface from all perspectives and methodologies including those working in the fields of typology, historical linguistics, psycholinguistics, and language modeling. General theoretical discussions and analyses of language-specific issues are equally welcome. Talks will be 20 minutes each, with 10 minutes of discussion.

It is concerned with some theoretical issues on syntactic, semantic and pragmatical analysis, especially six main topics, primarily in Portuguese but also in contrast with other languages. The sub-unit 3 'Semantics', project Grammar and Enunciation, of the Centro de Linguística da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (www.fcsh.unl.pt/clunl) is organising an international conference on ''CONECTIVES AND DISCOURSE MARKERS'' on the 2nd and 3rd November 2006 at the Linguistic Studies Department (Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Universidade Nova de Lisboa - FCSH-UNL), 26C avenida de Berna, 1069-061 Lisboa (Portugal). The main purpose of this conference is to bring together descriptive and formal approaches (quantitative or qualitative, synchronic or diachronic) to connectives and discourse markers. It is concerned with some theoretical issues on syntactic, semantic and pragmatical analysis, especially six main topics, primarily in Portuguese but also in contrast with other languages. Those topics are the following: (1) The contribution of connectives and discourse markers to utterance interpretation (2) Characterisation of the semantic identity (core meaning) of a unit and description of the variation in relation to its distribution (3) The scope, the position and the prosody of a discourse particle (4) The role (The semantic contribution) of discourse connectives and discourse markers in text or discourse structuring (5) The polysemy and multifunctionality of a unit (e.g. ''mal'' in Portuguese, as a qualitative or a quantitative adverb, as a discourse or a connective marker) (6) The meaning and the functions of a unit based on a comparative linguistic study of translation (or its equivalents in two or more languages) Guest Speakers: Antoine Culioli (Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France) Mário Eduardo Martellota (UFRJ, Brazil) João Sàágua (Institute of Philosophy of Language, UNL) Salvador Pons Bordería (Univ.

It brings together a number of French and foreign scholars working in the field of morphology in Toulouse, on the first week in December. The 2006 edition is organized in parallel with the Forum de Morphologie, a morphology conference organized in France since 1997. UPDATE: DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JUNE 18, 2006 International Morphology Conference Forum de Morphologie - 5e Décembrettes Toulouse, December 7-8, 2006 Université de Toulouse - le Mirail Analogy and lexical pressure in morphology - Call for papers - Note: The deadline for submission has been extended to June 18, 2006 The Forum de Morphologie originated from the collaboration of a group of French researchers in the domain. In 1997 it organized in Lille its first international morphology conference, which was followed by a second edition in Toulouse in 1999, and a third edition in Lille in 2002. The proceedings of these conferences were published in the Silexicales series at the University of Lille III. In parallel, the morphology component of the ERSS (UMR 5610) research unit organizes since 2002 the ''Décembrettes'', a morphology conference which takes place every year in Toulouse at the beginning of December, and which regularly gathers French and foreign researchers. In 2006 the two conferences will join to begin a single event called Forum de Morphologie / 5e Décembrettes, which will take place in Toulouse on December, 7-8. One of the two days of the conference will be devoted to a thematic session on ''Analogy and lexical pressure in morphology'', a topic both theoretically and descriptively crucial for our scientific community. The second day there will be a general session devoted to communications on any aspect of morphological research. The organizers invite contribution proposals for 20 minutes talks on any domain of morphological analysis; all theoretical perspectives are welcome. Method of submission: Abstracts, in English or in French, should be strictly anonymous and should contain no more than 1.000 words. On a separate sheet, contributors should indicate their name, affiliation and the e-mail address at which they wish to be contacted. Abstracts should be sent by e-mail (preferably in PDF format, or in RTF) to the following address: decembrettes@univ-tlse2.fr before May 31, 2006.

This interdisciplinary conference will explore the role played by VOICE in various fields of English studies. It will consider: * the synchronic and diachronic ways in which the (subjective) voice of the language user manifests itself linguistically, i.e. in the constructional properties of syntagms used, * those aspects of academic English that are relevant to helping learners find an appropriate academic voice in speaking and writing. * the literary status of 'voice': we will inquire into the impact of recent theoretical and/or technological developments on how the concept is handled in literary studies, Paper proposals are invited on the following questions and issues: LINGUISTICS * (inter-)subjective motivations of voice such as -choice of active vs. passive voice for optimal negotiation of information between speaker/hearer; -evaluative and other subjective effects of middle constructions; * subjective vs. more objective constructions (e.g. subjective vs. objective modality); * speech and thought representation: representational vs. subjective uses, their impact on point of view; * the diachronic shift from representational to interpersonal import of constructions; * other aspects of interpersonal varieties of voice. ELT-Academic English * author stance in academic writing: differences between disciplines and cultures (e.g. hedging) * register varieties: formality in academic genres; diachronic developments * citation strategies: how and why do writers incorporate other voices in their own writing? * resentation and seminar skills: tone and register; strategies to voice comments and objections Exploring the differences between native and non-native speakers, or between learners and experienced speakers, should yield insights into how EAP materials can help learners construct an appropriate academic voice. Literature * Is voice still part of 'what is at stake in modernity', as Barthes once argued? * After deconstruction, does voice exist hors texte? How does it relate to écriture? * What is the relation between voice and (point of) view? How does a textual voice acquire authority? * To what extent is voice a gendered concept? * Can a literary voice travel across cultures, periods and languages? Is it bound to cultural identity? * Do different voices always imply Bakhtinian polyphony? Does the single, lyrical voice survive in poetry? How crucial is voice in drama and film? Plenary speakers: Suzanne Kemmer (Rice University): ''Intransitive Structures and Functions'' Ken Hyland (University of London): ''Disciplinary voices: interactions in research writing'' Anne Fogarty (University College Dublin): '''I was a Voice': Orality and Silence in Contemporary Irish Women's Poetry'' Selected proceedings will be published in the 2007 issue of the international journal BELL.

THE SPECIAL ISSUE 2. TOPICS OF INTEREST 3. SUBMISSION INFORMATION --------------- 1. THE SPECIAL ISSUE The special issue will concentrate on the theoretical aspects of computational research on prepositions. Due to their importance in computational tasks prepositions, as well as prepositional phrases and markers of various sorts, have received a considerable amount of attention and occupied a central position in research in Computational Linguistics (CL) and Language Technology (LT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), as well as Computational Psycholinguistics (CP). Researchers from these backgrounds and CL-related disciplines have looked at the role of prepositions in shallow and deep language processing. Despite increasing awareness of the importance of prepositions in NLP tasks, very little progress has been made in systematically describing preposition semantics. Notably, the only account of the lexical semantics of prepositions in resources such as WordNet, FrameNet and PropBank is indirect, in that they feature in significant numbers within multiword expressions or as frame elements. If prepositions are to be incorporated into such resources as first-order entities, a large number of issues must be resolved such as how to taxonomically deconstruct the spatial semantics of prepositions, how to delineate preposition senses, and how to tease apart preposition and verb semantics in phrasal verbs. Our expectation is that such questions will be guided by careful analysis of what semantic distinctions and representational granularity are required in a range of applications, which will in turn be guided by such research as the representation of prepositions within implemented grammars, crosslingual preposition semantics, machine perception and visualisation of preposition semantics, and computational models of the human processing of prepositions. --------------- 2. TOPICS OF INTEREST For the proposed special issue we specifically invite submissions that bring a theoretical basis to research on prepositions in lexical resources and NLP tasks of the sort described above. In particular, we focus on the syntactic and semantic treatment of productive and collocational uses of prepositional phrases and markers in resources such as WordNet and FrameNet, and the utilization of such resources in NLP tasks, such as Machine Translation, IE/IR and QA. * Extraction of Prepositions: There has been considerable research into extraction of prepositions and related constructions (e.g. phrasal verbs). Papers which describe the extraction of these constructions, including their subcategorisation frames and alternation patterns, as are necessary for the semi-automatic extension of lexical resources are particularly welcome. * Representation of Prepositions in Lexical Resources: We encourage papers describing the challenges of providing adequate representation of prepositions and related constructions such as would be generally applicable in NLP applications. * Prepositions in Applications: We invite papers that discuss the role of prepositions in NLP tasks, focusing specifically on what insights various applications offer for lexical resource building, what particular needs different application areas have (e.g. what an ideal prepositional lexical resource would be like), necessary extensions to existing resources, and how prepositional lexical resources of various types could enhance performance over a given task like MT, IR, QA and multi-modal systems. --------------- 3.

Panels on a wide range of topics are already being prepared. A tentative list (with provisional titles) includes: Arguing from large corpora (Igor Zagar), Comparative studies of professional and institutional activities (Per Linell), Computational pragmatics (Robin Cooper), Contrastive pragmatics (Karin Aijmer), Conversation analysis (John Heritage), Corpus-based multilingual approach to youngspeak (Anna-Brita Stenström), Corpus-based pragmatics (Jens Allwood), Corpus orales del español/Spanish oral corpora (Antonio Briz), Corpus work on argumentation (Jean Goodwin), Gender and discourse analysis (Susan Ehrlich, Ruth Wodak), Intention, common ground, and the egocentric speaker-hearer (István Kecskés, Jacob Mey), Language and gender in Japan (Miyako Inoue), Methods in pragmatics (Jan-Ola Östman), Multimodality (Theo van Leeuwen), Multimodal text analysis - a corpus-based approach (Yueguo Gu), Pragmatics and communication disorders (Elisabeth Ahlsén), Pragmatics of English lingua franca (Juliane House, István Kecskés), Reference (Thorstein Fretheim), Speech acts and/or dynamic semantics (Mitchell Green), Text mining (Walter Daelemans) Plenary lecturers will include (with tentative indication of topic area): - Douglas BIBER (Flagstaff, Arizona; pragmatics and corpora) - Bill HANKS (Berkeley; Maya discourse genres and missionization) - Susan HERRING (Bloomington; computer-mediated communication) - Jan-Ola ÖSTMAN (Helsinki; addressing Nordic language issues) - Udaya SING (Mysore; endangered languages) - Yorick WILKS (Sheffield; computational pragmatics) Panel proposals on any topic studied from a pragmatic perspective (including, but not restricted to the special topic) are invited by 15 September 2006 Individual proposals for lectures and posters, on any topic studied from a pragmatic perspective (including, but not restricted to the special topic), are invited by 1 November 2006 For complete instructions, as well as all registration information, check this site by 1 July 2006 (www.ipra.be) Text Box: What you should expect - All submission procedures will be web-based (i.e., paper copies, e- mail attachments or faxes will not be accepted) - The submission site will be up and running by 1 July 2006 - The submission of proposals presupposes IPrA membership. Panel proposals (deadline 15 September 2006) will have to consist of a brief outline (max. one page) of the theme and purpose of the panel, with a first indication of the people the organizer(s) anticipate(s) to be involved as speakers. Immediately after the deadline the conference committee will, on the basis of the outline (weighed against other proposals in relation to the total number of available time slots), decide (i) whether the proposal is accepted, and (ii) how many 90- minute slots can be made available for the accepted panel. From that moment onwards, the organizer(s) is/are free to fill the allotted sessions in the way they see as most suitable to the theme and the purpose of their panel. Not all panels need to take the same form; some may work with sessions that emphasize discussion; others may want to fit in more (brief) oral presentations; the minimum number of presentations planned for one 90-minute session, however, should be three. Though it is the panel organizer(s) who take(s) active responsibility for the quality of the contributions to their panel (i.e. they decide what is accepted), abstracts for all panel contributions have to be submitted by the 1 November deadline that will be handled for individual submissions. Panel organizers are expected to guide their participants in this process, so that all formal requirements are duly fulfilled. This procedure implies that no-one can submit contributions for panels without the prior consent of the panel organizer(s). Individual proposals for lectures and posters should take the form of a brief abstract (max. one page); mind the 1 November 2006 deadline. It is the individual submitter's choice to submit for oral presentation (lecture) or a poster. For oral presentations, 30-minute slots will be available (including discussion time). Posters will be up for one whole day; during that day, there will be a free hour that can be used only for looking at and discussing posters. IPrA actively encourages the submission of posters; experience tells us that they often lead to more serious interaction and result in more lasting and fruitful contacts than oral presentations. Because of heavy competition for slots in the program, no-one can be permitted to send in more than one submission of which he or she is the first author (whether panel contributions, lectures or posters). Anyone may be involved in a second or even a third paper if someone else is the first author and will be present at the conference as well. As a rule, first authors handle the submission process. Presenting a paper is, however, always compatible with taking the role of organizer of a panel or acting as a discussant in a panel. ----------------------------------------------------------- LINGUIST List: Vol-17-1703 From - Thu Dec 10 14:23:12 2009 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Gmail-Received: 18ff679e64d6457e8a995b8f083f30aaedcf1983 Delivered-To: jpprost@gmail.com Received: by 10.37.13.26 with SMTP id q26cs407nzi; Mon, 5 Jun 2006 22:38:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.36.43.12 with SMTP id q12mr4191045nzq; Mon, 05 Jun 2006 22:38:57 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: Received: from vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au (vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au [137.111.216.16]) by mx.gmail.com with ESMTP id 12si8534572nzn.2006.06.05.22.38.54; Mon, 05 Jun 2006 22:38:57 -0700 (PDT) Received-SPF: neutral (gmail.com: 137.111.216.16 is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of hcsnete@srv05.ezyreg.com) Received: from vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au (vacuum [137.111.216.16]) by vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au (8.13.6+Sun/8.13.4) with SMTP id k565cmIi023077 for ; Tue, 6 Jun 2006 15:38:52 +1000 (EST) Received: from vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au ([137.111.216.16]) by vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au (SMSSMTP 4.1.9.35) with SMTP id M2006060615385211483 for ; Tue, 06 Jun 2006 15:38:52 +1000 Received: from vesuvius.ics.mq.edu.au (vesuvius.ics.mq.edu.au [137.111.240.11]) by vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au (8.13.6+Sun/8.13.4) with ESMTP id k565cgQ7023069 for ; Tue, 6 Jun 2006 15:38:42 +1000 (EST) Received: from vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au (vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au [137.111.216.16]) by vesuvius.ics.mq.edu.au (8.13.5/8.13.5) with ESMTP id k565cgOm001318 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA bits=168 verify=NO) for ; Tue, 6 Jun 2006 15:38:42 +1000 (EST) Received: from vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au (vacuum [137.111.216.16]) by vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au (8.13.6+Sun/8.13.4) with SMTP id k565cgJQ023063 for ; Tue, 6 Jun 2006 15:38:42 +1000 (EST) Received: from vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au ([137.111.216.16]) by vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au (SMSSMTP 4.1.9.35) with SMTP id M2006060615384111480 for ; Tue, 06 Jun 2006 15:38:41 +1000 Received: from baldrick.ocs.mq.edu.au (baldrick.ocs.mq.edu.au [137.111.1.12]) by vacuum.ics.mq.edu.au (8.13.6+Sun/8.13.4) with ESMTP id k565cbVr023051 for ; Tue, 6 Jun 2006 15:38:37 +1000 (EST) Received: from srv05.ezyreg.com (srv05.ezyreg.com [67.15.88.10]) by baldrick.ocs.mq.edu.au (8.10.2/8.10.2) with ESMTP id k565cZj07319 for ; Tue, 6 Jun 2006 15:38:35 +1000 (EST) Received: from hcsnete by srv05.ezyreg.com with local (Exim 4.52) id 1FnUGu-0004El-MB for jpprost@ics.mq.edu.au; Tue, 06 Jun 2006 00:38:32 -0500 To: jpprost@ics.mq.edu.au Subject: [HCSNet] HCSNet Update Newsletter Volume 2 Number 18 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_Part_14dbcc2979b25debc5fae56c98e71af9" MIME-Version: 1.0 From: HCSNet Reply-To: newsletter@hcsnet.edu.au Message-Id: Date: Tue, 06 Jun 2006 00:38:32 -0500 X-AntiAbuse: This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse report X-AntiAbuse: Primary Hostname - srv05.ezyreg.com X-AntiAbuse: Original Domain - ics.mq.edu.au X-AntiAbuse: Originator/Caller UID/GID - [32357 859] / [47 12] X-AntiAbuse: Sender Address Domain - srv05.ezyreg.com X-Source: X-Source-Args: X-Source-Dir: ------=_Part_14dbcc2979b25debc5fae56c98e71af9 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable This week's HCSNet Update Newsletter is available for viewing at: http://www.hcsnet.edu.au/newsletter/2006-06-06 HCSNet Update is a weekly electronic publication of HCSNet, the ARC Research Network in Human Communication Science, and is emailed to all Network participants.

Research area: Intelligent Systems - Artificial Intelligence

My language interests focus around spoken dialogue, dialogue processes= , and dialogue systems; in particular, activity-oriented dialogue for com= plex systems. Issues of interest include the representation of tasks, act= ivities, goals, and intentions appropriate for effective activity-oriente= d conversation, as well as representation of dialogue processes themselve= s, using the Information-State Update paradigm. An important challenge is= the use of context representation, both for robust interpretation of utt= erances as well as for improving interaction under error (e.g. recovering= from speech mis-recognition). Of particular interest is the context of use of such systems. At Stanford= , we worked on dialogue systems for the in-car environment, as well as fo= r physical meeting spaces involving multiple participants. Different appl= ication domains throw up novel issues and constraints, such as minimising= cognitive load and distraction, or managing multi-party dialogue using b= oth spoken and visual cues.

HCSNet Priority Area: Effective Interfaces

Lawrence Cavedon, this week's spotlight, is a leader of HCSNet's Human Effective Interfaces Priority Area. As our technology gets more complex, so do the interfaces we use to communicate with that technology. Communication breakdown in these interfaces is evident all around us: video recorder remote controls with functionalities too complex to understand, and repeated frustration at call-centre automation via less than perfect speech recognition, are two very visible instances. At the same time, humans are more complex than any devices we have yet created, but we communicate with each other effortlessly. This research priority area focuses on what it is that makes a human-computer interface, particularly one where speech is used as the mode of communication, effective. See the Priority Areas web pages at http://www.hcsnet.edu.au/= priorityareas for more information.

Web services are distributed computing=20 application components with services-oriented architecture. They use=20 Extensible Markup Language (XML) interface description languages, such as= =20 the standardized Web Services Description Language (WSDL), and uniform=20 communication protocols, such as the standardized SOAP protocol (previous= ly=20 known as the Simple Object Access Protocol). Typical application areas of= =20 Web services are business-to-business (B2B) integration, enterprise=20 application integration (EAI), e-business process integration and managem= ent=20 services. Implementation-independence of Web services technologies provid= es=20 that Web services distributed over the Internet, run on different platfor= ms,=20 implemented in different programming languages, and provided by different= =20 businesses can collaborate in achieving common business goals. In=20 particular, Web services technologies are supported by all major computin= g=20 companies, e.g., IBM, Microsoft, Sun, HP, Oracle, etc. Middleware plays an important role for Web services technologies. For=20 example, implementation independence of Web services is achieved using=20 middleware, such as application servers and/or SOAP engines. In addition,= =20 different middleware solutions are used to provide, monitor, and manage=20 quality of service aspects, such as performance, security, and reliabilit= y.=20 The goal of this workshop is to bring together industrial, academic, and=20 government researchers and developers interested in Web services and/or=20 middleware technologies. Through paper presentations and discussions, thi= s=20 workshop will contribute to the exchange of knowledge and ideas,=20 dissemination of results about completed and on-going research projects, = as=20 well as identification and analysis of remaining open research issues. Middleware is traditionally one of the main topics at EDOC conferences,=20 while Web services are quickly becoming a key technology within enterpris= e=20 computing and one of the central topics of EDOC conferences. Therefore, w= e=20 have organized the 2005 Middleware for Web Services (MWS 2005,=20 http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~mws2006/previous/) workshop at EDOC 2005. The= =20 workshop was successful, as it gathered academic, industrial, and governm= ent=20 researchers and developers whose interests crosscut middleware and Web=20 services and contributed to a useful exchange of ideas, a better=20 understanding of wider research issues, and clearer identification of=20 important open research issues and possible approaches for their solution= .=20 To further these achievements of MWS 2005 and to facilitate scientific=20 growth of this important area, we now organize the 2006 Middleware for We= b=20 Services (MWS 2006) workshop at EDOC 2006. TOPICS OF INTEREST (in alphabetic order) include, but are not limited to: ------------------ Application servers for Web services Aspect-oriented Web services middleware Autonomic computing solutions using Web services Best practices and patterns for Web services middleware Comparative analysis of middleware issues for Web services and other=20 technologies (e.g., CORBA) Industrial experiences with Web services middleware Middleware for Grid services and utility computing Middleware for discovery and/or selection of Web services Middleware for choreography and orchestration of Web services Middleware for Web-services based Semantic Web Middleware for Web services-based workflows Middleware for Web services executing in mobile, embedded, and=20 ubiquitous/pervasive environments Monitoring and management middleware for Web services Negotiation middleware for Web services Quality of service middleware for Web services Query middleware for Web services Reputation and/or trust middleware for Web services Reliability and fault-tolerance middleware for Web services Security and privacy middleware for Web services SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) engines Web services as a middleware technology SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------- Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished, high-quality papers= =20 before June 16, 2006. The submission mechanism is explained on the works= hop=20 Web site: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~mws2006. Two types of submissions a= re=20 solicited: - Full papers describing mature research or industrial case studies - up = to=20 8 pages long - Short papers describing work in progress or position statements - up to= 4=20 pages long Papers published or submitted elsewhere will be automatically rejected.=20 Submissions should be in the IEEE Computer Society conference paper forma= t.=20 Guidelines and templates for this format are available at the IEEE Comput= er=20 Society Web site:=20 http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/menuitem.02df7cde46985ea21618fc= 2e6bcd45f3/index.jsp?&pName=3Dcscps_level1&path=3Dcscps/cps&file=3Dcps_fo= rms.xml&xsl=3Dgeneric.xsl&.=20 All submissions should include the author's name, affiliation and contact= =20 details.
