First Call for Papers GL2005 3nd International Workshop on Generative Approaches to the Lexicon http://www.issco.unige.ch/ Organizers: Pierrette Bouillon (ETI/TIM/ISSCO, University of Geneva, Switzerland) Kyoko Kanzaki(National Institute of Information and Communications Technology(NICT), Japan) Date: May 19-21 2005 Location: University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland Topic: The aim of the GL workshop is to bring together diverse contributions in philosophy, linguistics, computer science and lexicography to explore the lexicon from the point of view of generativity, in particular : - Philosophical Foundations of a Generative Approach - Generative Lexicon Theory and Representation of Word Meaning - Analysis of Linguistic Phenomena - Framework for Lexical Semantics - Philosophical differences between frameworks - Critical Perspectives In this third workshop we would like to keep all the above perspectives, but put more of the focus on available on-line lexical resources and their practical use in NLP applications. The discussions will be centered, but not limited to, the following topics: - Building new resources - Acquiring lexical information - Maintaining resources - Representing lexical information (i.e. polysemy, collocation links, multiword expressions, predicate-argument structure) - Using lexical information in applications - Specialization and customization for specific applications - Links between different frameworks - Sharing lexical resources - Multilinguality in the lexicon - Standardization and evaluation Papers on on-line ressources can make reference to any semantic lexicons (Wordnet, Framenet, Meaning-text theory, etc.), but a link to Generative Lexicon theory is desirable (Pustejovsky 1995). Key topics are: - How to build a Generative Lexicon? - How a Generative Lexicon can be extracted from existing ressources or corpora? - How to connect qualia structures with other lexical information? - How to use Qualia structures in NLP applications? The conference will be held over a period of two and a half days. Both posters and presentations are foreseen. Invited speakers include James Pustejovsky (Brandeis University, Brandeis), Nicoletta Calzolari (Istituto Di Linguistica Computazionale, Pisa) and Ann Copestake (University of Cambridge). Other invited speakers will be announced later. Submission procedure: Authors should submit an anonymous paper of at most 7 single-column pages (including references) using a 12' body font size together with a separate page specifying the author's name, affiliation, address, e-mail address, title and type of paper (normal presentation or poster). The minimum size is 3 pages for a poster paper and 5 pages for a normal paper. The papers should be submitted electronically (in postscript, rtf or pdf format) to both: pierrette.bouillon@issco.unige.ch and kanzaki@crl.go.jp. Language: All papers must be submitted and presented in English. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the workshop.
