and Linguistic Theories (TLT12)<br><br>TLT serves as a venue for new and ongoing
research on the topic of <br>linguistics and treebanks. The 12th edition of TLT
will take place in Sofia, <br>Bulgaria on December 13-14, 2013, and will be
hosted by the BulTreeBank <br>Group.<br><br>TLT-12 website: <a href="http://bultreebank.org/TLT12/">http://bultreebank.org/TLT12/</a><br><br>This
year, TLT will be accompanied by the third Workshop on Annotation of <br>Corpora
for Research in the Humanities (ACRH-3) that takes place on December <br>12,
2013. More information is available at: <br><a href="http://www.bultreebank.org/ACRH-3/">http://www.bultreebank.org/ACRH-3/</a><br><br>TLT
started its first edition in 2002 in Sozopol, Bulgaria. Now its 12th <br>edition
comes back to Bulgaria again! For more than 10 years now TLT has <br>served as a
venue for new and ongoing high-quality work related to
<br>syntactically-annotated corpora, i.e., treebanks; with a focus on all the
<br>aspects of treebanking -- descriptive, theoretical, formal and
<br>computational -- but also going beyond treebanks, including other levels of
<br>annotation such as frame semantics, coreference, or events, to name only a
<br>few.<br><br>Submissions are invited for papers, posters, and demonstrations
which <br>present research on treebanks and their intersection with linguistics,
<br>natural language processing, and other related fields.<br><br><br>Workshop
Motivation and Aims<br><br>Treebanks have proved to be crucial resources for
very important NLP <br>applications, such as MT and information extraction, as
well as supporting <br>resources for various NLP tasks, such as high-quality
parsing and POS <br>tagging. More recent trends in treebank related research
includes, but is <br>not restricted to the following areas:<br><br>* Annotating
deep syntactic information,<br>* converting into deeper formats, often also
adding information <br>automatically,<br>* multilingual and crosslingual
treebanking<br>* enriching treebanks with additional layers of linguistic
annotation as <br>well as world knowledge<br>* dynamic treebanking involving a
close connection between parsing and <br>manual annotation,<br>* designing web
services for diverse treebanks<br>* mapping syntactic and semantic knowledge to
Linked Open Data information <br>(LOD)<br><br><br>This series of workshops aims
to provide a forum for researchers and <br>advanced students working in these
areas.<br><br><br>Workshop Topics<br><br>The workshop invites submissions that
discuss relevant innovative work in <br>treebanking, including the relations and
links between various aspects of <br>morphological, syntactic, semantic, and
pragmatic annotation; furthermore, <br>submissions describing work on parallel
treebanks and/or cross-language <br>annotation schemas, on the relation between
linguistic theory and the <br>practice of annotation, and on applications of
information in treebanks are <br>encouraged as well.<br><br>The areas of
interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to, the <br>following
topics:<br><br>* design principles and annotation schemes for treebanks<br>*
linguistic theory and the practice of annotation<br>* applications of treebanks
in acquiring linguistic knowledge and in NLP<br>* the role of linguistic
theories in treebank development<br>* treebanks as a basis for linguistic
research<br>* annotated beyond treebanks<br>* evaluation and quality control of
treebanks<br>* tools for creation and management of treebanks<br>* treebanks of
less-resourced languages<br>* theories, schemas, and applications for parallel
treebanks<br>* standards for treebanks<br>* creation of large treebanks<br>*
mapping of treebanks to Linked Open Data resources<br>* using Treebanks in
Analysis and Generation tasks<br>* domain-specific treebanks<br>* the future of
treebanks and treebanking<br><br><br>Invited Speakers<br><br>* Stefanie Dipper
