3rd International Conference on Meaning-Text Theory

___________________________________________________

The Meaning Text Theory is a lexicon-centered dependency theory for
the description of language with a holistic model that incorporates
semantics, syntax, morphology and lexis as well as the information (=
communicative) structure. MTT has extensively been developed over the
last four decades with respect to its coverage of linguistic phenomena
and application in a variety of research fields - among them natural
language processing (in particular natural language text generation)
and second language learning/teaching. After MTT '03 in Paris and MTT
'05 in Moscow, this conference is the third in a successful series
that aims at bringing together researchers working on MTT, other
dependency-based linguistic theories and computational applications
drawing upon dependency theories. The special goal of this conference
is to open MTT more to researchers working in related frameworks. A
social program will be offered before the main conference. After the
main conference, a 1/2 day tutorial on natural language generation in
the framework of MTT is planned.

SUBMISSIONS

We invite submissions on all topics related to MTT and other
grammatical and lexical frameworks that share with MTT the fundamental
