Annual Conference of the German Society of Linguistics, Leipzig (Germany)
28th February - 2nd March, 2001

Workshop 3:
The Syntax-Semantics-Interface: Linguistic Structures and Processes

We, the organizers of the above workshop, would like to announce our program
which has been set up now. The workshop aims to bring together experts
dealing with similar phenomena from various fields such as
psycholinguistics, theoretical linguistics, or cognitive science in general.
The discussion will focus on a definition of the mapping between concepts
and grammar by looking at specific linguistically related phenomena (cf. the
official description below).

Description of the workshop
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
While, in the past, theoretical linguistics concentrated on the static
properties of the linguistic system, increasing evidence has gathered for
the view that processes of language production should be seen as a field for
testing theoretical assumptions. This is a challenge as well as an
opportunity. Similarly, interdisciplinary research on language production
makes use of theoretical linguistic findings in modelling language
production. To what extent can linguistic theories and empirical research
profit from each other? The aim of this workshop is to promote discourse
about this subject, which has been increasing in importance both in Germany
(e.g. through the DFG research priority programme 'Language Production') and
internationally. In this spirit, we consider a discussion of interface
problems to be promising. By this we mean, firstly, the question concerning
the concrete interaction of the subcomponents of the linguistic system, a
question which cannot be avoided once one attempts to include a description
of the procedural aspects of the linguistic system. Secondly, more attention
should be paid to the manner, degree and time in which the linguistic and
non-linguistic systems influence each other.
The two areas just described are inextricably interwoven. Important here are
various general questions, which will be the centre of attention for the
workshop: Are there conceptual structures which have more than one possible
linguistic realisation? How can such divergent linguistic realisations be
motivated? At which level do the information units responsible for such
differing linguistic realisations enter into the language production
process? The workshop will deal with concrete questions pertinent to the
range of issues just sketched.
These questions can be related to aspects of the global processes of
perspectivisation and information structuring in the sense that they
influence the range of phenomena discussed above. Against this background,
several kinds of grammatical alternations, such as the causative or the
locative alternation could be examined.

Subject: Human and Artificial Communicating Systems
The graduate program Task Oriented Communication is organizing the
international workshop "Perception and Production - The Interaction of
Human and Artificial Communicating Systems". This workshop will take place
on December 14-15 2000 at the Center of Interdisciplinary Research
(University of Bielefeld, Germany).
The information given here can also be found at

If you are interested in participating, please register until December 6th
by sending an email to anke at TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE. This is necessary
because of the limited amount of seats available.

Perception and Production
Workshop on the Interaction of
Human and Artificial Communicating Systems
December 14th - 15th, 2000

The graduate program "Task-Oriented Communication" is organizing a
workshop on "Perception and Production" to be held from December 14th -
15th, 2000 at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF), University
of Bielefeld, Germany.
Perception and production of information are fundamental components of
communicating systems. Thus they play a role in the examination of
human-human interaction as well as human-computer and computer-computer
interaction:
- In human-human interaction, the foundations of production and
perception of information in various modalities can be experimentally
examined and evaluated with regard to the functionality of cognitive
processes involved in, e.g., language acquisition, speech perception
and production, or gesture generation.
- In human-computer interaction, the understanding of perception and
production is the basis for the development and optimization of
communicating systems, e.g., in sonification, speech synthesis, or
recognition of prosodic cues.
- In computer-computer interaction perception and production can be
implemented and beyond that, their evolution can be studied in
simulations, e.g., in artificial agents.
The focus will be on the links between perception and production and the
modeling of the cognitive processes that lead from the percepts to
concepts, which, in turn, constitute the basis for internal storage and
production.
As the graduate program unites students from both linguistics and computer
science in an interdisciplinary framework, the aim of this workshop is to
bring together researchers from various disciplines and with different
theoretical, empirical, and technical backgrounds to support an
interdisciplinary exchange of ideas.
