<div> GL2013: Generative Lexicon
and Distributional Semantics</div>
<div> 6th International Conference on
Generative Approaches to the Lexicon</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
Hosted by ILC-CNR, Pisa - Italy </div>
<div>
September 24-25, 2013</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>The goal of the GL conferences is to bring together diverse
contributions from theoretical and computational linguistics,
computer science, cognitive science, and lexicography, which
explore compositionality from the point of view of generative
approaches to the lexicon. Historically, contributions have
assumed, as a starting point, the view outlined in Generative
Lexicon theory (Pustejovsky, 1995, Pustejovsky et al, 2012).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Traditional topics of the GL conferences are:</div>
<div>- Polysemy and sense shifting </div>
<div>- Co-compositionality and creation of new word senses </div>
<div>- Type coercion and argument selection phenomena </div>
<div>- Argument realization: mapping from lexicon to syntax </div>
<div>- Cognitive foundations for semantic categories </div>
<div>- The trade-off between pragmatics and lexical knowledge </div>
<div>- Presupposition and commonsense knowledge </div>
<div>- Underspecification and word sense disambiguation </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>These topics can be approached from either a theoretical or
computational perspective.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This year, GL2013 has a special focus on the relationship
between generative approaches to the lexicon and distributional
semantics. Distributional semantic models represent the meaning of
lexical items in terms of vectors recording their pattern of
distribution in linguistic contexts. They share with GL the goals
of ovecoming the limitations of classical models of the lexicon
based on context-independent sense distinctions, and promoting a
different view of lexical content generated in contexts and with
contexts. The conference aims at exploring the potential synergies
emerging from the similarity as well as from the the
complementarity of GL and distributional semantics. Possible
topics include:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- classical semantic models that distributional semantics
claims to be able to solve; </div>
<div>- current solutions and limits of distributional semantics
theories to account for linguistic compositionality; </div>
<div>- prospects to enrich distributional semantics with robust
first-order models of inference; </div>
<div>- the integration of distributional semantic principles and
techniques into a broader dynamic model theoretic framework. </div>
