TOPIC AND MOTIVATION:

Large linguistically interpreted corpora play an increasingly
important role for machine learning, evaluation,
psycholinguistics as well as theoretical linguistics.  Many
groups have started to create corpus resources annotated with
morphological, syntactic, semantic and discourse
information for a variety of languages.  Linguistic annotation
may consist of morphological analyses, trees, dependencies,
grammatical relations, word senses, (co)references, information
structure, semantic representations, discourse relations
and other types of linguistic information.

We aim to bring together these activities in order to facilitate
advanced and efficient corpus annotations which will provide
re-usable resources.

The workshop will also provide a forum for reports on the
scientific and technological exploitation of interpreted corpora
in general, computational or psycholinguistics.  Such reports
on exploitation results are valuable for the comparison of
alternative approaches and will thus serve as feedback to
ongoing and new corpus annotation efforts.

We invite submissions of papers constituting substantial,
original, and unpublished work on all aspects of linguistically
interpreted corpora, including, but not limited to:
- creation of practical annotation schemes
- efficient annotation techniques including automation
- tools supporting corpus conversions
- consistency checking and validation
- tools and methods for searching and browsing
- qualitative and quantitative studies based on
  linguistically interpreted corpora
- technological advances achieved by the
  exploitation of interpreted corpora
