Subject: 2nd CfP: Workshop Assessing the potential of corpora
Workshop on "Assessing the potential of corpora"
May 20, from 9 am
Organised by Przemysław Kaszubski (Poznań)
as part of 35th Poznań Linguistic Meeting
(http://elex.amu.edu.pl/ifa/plm/index.htm)
Deadline for abstract submission: 15 March
--------------
The primary goal of the workshop is to convene a forum of users of
corpora, from Poland and beyond, willing to exchange opinions on the
feasibility and practicality of corpus-based methods in linguistic
study, language teaching, and other applications.
Part 1 will feature presentations (30 minutes + 10-minute discussion,
or slightly less if time disallows ).
Part 2 will comprise an open panel discussion, introduced by our
special guest, Prof. Dafydd Gibbon (University of Bielefeld), who
will give an overview of corpora and corpus-based linguistics against
the background of other advanced language technologies of today.
Among the topics proposed so far:
Automatic phonetic annotation of corpora for EFL purposes Prof.
Włodzimierz Sobkowiak (AMU Poznań);
Corpora in MA linguistic courses: what's wrong with teaching
linguistics in Poland Prof. Tadeusz Piotrowski (University of
Wrocław);
A search tool for corpora with positional tagsets and ambiguities
Dr Adam Przepiórkowski (Polish Academy of Sciences);
On unsupervised grammar induction from untagged corpora Prof.
Damir Cavar (& Giancarlo Schrementi, Joshua Herring, Toshikazu Ikuta)
(Indiana University)
Studying metaphor with the BNC Dr. Małgorzata Fabiszak (AMU
Poznań);
Corpora for the teaching of translation Maciej Machniewski (AMU
Poznań);
Corpus-based teaching of English syntax Dr. Paweł Scheffler (AMU
Poznań);
Web concordancing and EFL writing Dr. Przemysław Kaszubski (AMU
Poznań).
and more... (altogether about 10 presentations are planned)
---------------
We hope to publish all contributions in a special edition of Poznań
Studies in Contemporary Linguistics.

*LAST CALL FOR PAPERS*
Workshop: Semantic Approaches to Binding Theory
http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schlenker/ESSLLI04.html
organized as part of the
European Summer School on Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI 2004)
http://esslli2004.loria.fr/
16-20 August, 2004 in Nancy
Workshop Organizers:
Ed Keenan, UCLA (ekeenan @ ucla. edu)
Philippe Schlenker, UCLA & IJN (schlenke @ ucla. edu)
Workshop Purpose:
Binding Theory, which is concerned with sentence-internal constraints on
anaphora, was originally conceived in syntactic terms as a set of
conditions on the distribution of indices (Chomsky 1983). Thus Condition A
stated that anaphors are locally bound (*John/i thinks that himself/i is
clever); Condition B stated that Pronominals are locally free (*He/i likes
him/i), and Condition C required that R-expressions be free (*He/i thinks
that John/i is clever). But other researchers have attempted to derive these
constraints from lexical semantics or the interpretative procedure rather
than the syntax. Some add a semantic component to a syntactic core
(e.g. Reinhart 1983, Heim 1993, Fox 2000, Buring 2002), but others are more
radically semantic (e.g. works by Jacobson, Keenan, Barker & Shan, Butler).
The workshop, which is intended for advanced PhD students and researchers,
will provide a forum to compare and assess these diverse proposals. We
welcome proposals for 45mn contributions (30mn presentation + 15mn
discussion), which should be specific, explicit and semantically informed.
We list below some possible topics, though the list is not exhaustive.
