Now its 12th edition comes back to Bulgaria again! For more than 10 years now TLT has served as a venue for new and ongoing high-quality work related to syntactically-annotated corpora, i.e., treebanks; with a focus on all the aspects of treebanking -- descriptive, theoretical, formal and computational -- but also going beyond treebanks, including other levels of annotation such as frame semantics, coreference, or events, to name only a few. </div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">Submissions are invited for papers, posters, and demonstrations which present research on treebanks and their intersection with linguistics,</div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">natural language processing, and other related fields. </div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">Workshop Motivation and Aims</div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">Treebanks have proved to be crucial resources for very important NLP</div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">applications, such as MT and information extraction, as well as supporting</div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">resources for various NLP tasks, such as high-quality parsing and POS tagging.
