The 2001 Asian Association for Lexicography (ASIALEX)
Biennial Conference
August 8-10, 2001
Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea
http://asialex.yonsei.ac.kr

CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
AND
CALL FOR PAPERS, Second Circular

First organized at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 1997
during an international conference on dictionaries and lexicography,
ASIALEX had its first biennial conference at Guangdong University of
Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, in 1999, with some two hundred scholars
attending from a dozen countries of Asia and Europe.
The second ASIALEX conference will be hosted by the Center for Linguistic
Informatics Research (formerly, Lexicographical Center) of Yonsei
University from August 8 to 10, 2001. Prof. Sangsup Lee, current President
of the Association, is Director of the Center.
The general theme of the ASIALEX 2001 Conference is "Asian Bilingualism and
the Dictionary." The organizing committee believe that bilingualism and the
dictionary have special aspects in the Asian context, a subject that has
not received sufficient consideration so far and whose significance is
growing very fast in this age of accelerated cross-cultural, informatic
contact between the peoples of Asia and the rest of the world.
However, we welcome practically all topics related to the dictionary.
Following is a list of topics we consider to be relevant. Since this is not
exhaustive, other topics may be added.

   1. Corpus Linguistics, Lexicology, Lexicography
   2. Computational Lexicography
   3. Lexicographical Processes and Methods
   4. Language Education and Dictionary
   5. Terminography
   6. Lexicographical Problems in Asian Bilingualism

Renowned scholars and lexicographers, including Patrick Hanks and Murata
Minoru, will speak at plenary sessions. Languages to be used will be Korean
and English.

Grant For Asian Scholars
     =========================
The Organizing Committee have decided to offer a Grant to invite
outstanding Asian scholars of lexicography who might not otherwise be able
and willing to attend the conference. Although our budget is very limited,
we hope to invite as many excellent colleagues, from as wide a range of
Asian regions and countries as we can. The grant includes both airfare and
accommodations. Grantholders will receive payment for a round-way ticket
from the main international airport of the Asian country where the holder
resides, to Seoul; the ticket must be an economy class discount via the
shortest route. They also will be provided with free accommodation
(breakfast inclusive) at one of our guesthouses on campus and decent amount
of per diem.

Applicants are asked to present their papers at one of the sessions during
the conference. So we hope them to read carefully and act up to the
procedures for participating in the Conference as stated in the attached
documents and the general information about the Aisalex 2001 on its
website, http://asialex.yonsei.ac.kr .

                          CALL FOR PAPERS

The Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence Unit at
Tilburg University will host the Fourth International Workshop on
Computational Semantics (IWCS-4), that will take place from 10-12
January 2001. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers
interested in any aspects of the computation of meaning in natural
language or in language-based multimedia objects.

Topics of interest for the workshop will be computational aspects of
formal semantic theories as well as theoretical issues in building
natural language understanding systems, including systens where
language is used in a multimedia setting. Papers are invited in areas
which include, but are not limited to, the following specific topics:

      * working with underspecified representations of meaning
      * modelling and using context for interpretation
      * the relations between semantics and pragmatics
      * dynamic interpretation in text and dialogue
      * interpretation and games
      * computational lexical semantics
      * interpretation and inference
      * meaning in multimedia objects
      * interpretation and optimality
      * speech acts and interpretation
      * incrementality and monotonicity in interpretation
      * knowledge representation and reasoning in meaning computation


                       SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Authors are asked to submit an original paper of maximally 5000 words
by September 15, 2000, by email in Postscript form. All submitted
papers that are received in time will be refereed by the programme
committee and may be accepted for full presentation at the workshop
and publication in the proceedings, or for a short/poster presentation
and publication of a 2-page abstract. We also aim at publishing a
