AISB96 Workshop: Multilinguality in the Lexicon
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION AND PROVISIONAL PROGRAMME
16th Feburary 1996
Dates: 1st - 2nd April, 1996
Venue: University of Sussex, Brighton, UK
*** REGISTER NOW! - LATE REGISTRATION SURCHARGE APPLIES AFTER 1ST
MARCH ***
This workshop aims to bring together active researchers with an
interest in the issues surrounding multilingual aspects of lexicons.
Traditionally, multilingual issues in the lexicon have primarily been
a concern of applied NLP research, notably machine translation and
more recently multilingual generation; the recent upsurge of work on
more theoretical aspects of lexical representation has focussed on a
monolingual view. However, these two strands are now beginning to come
together: theoreticians are branching out into multilingual issues,
and applied researchers are beginning to exploit some of the newer
developments in lexical representation. This workshop provides an
opportunity for lexical practitioners of all sorts to focus on the
particular problems and questions associated with multilingual lexical
representation.
The workshop is part of the AISB96 Workshop and Tutorial series being
held at the University of Sussex, Brighton, UK. The series comprises
eight (one or two-day) workshops and two (one-day) tutorials which
will all run simultaneously. The refreshment breaks will be common to
all, so there will be an opportunity to mix with attendees of other
workshops. The full list of workshops is given at the end of this
announcement.
