LAST CALL FOR PAPERS:
FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CONSTRUCTION GRAMMAR
April 6-8, 2001
University of California at Berkeley
Reflecting the rapidly growing interest in Construction
Grammar, this conference will serve as a forum for promoting
discussion and collaboration among linguists interested in
this line of research. As a way of acknowledging its roots
and in recognition of the Berkeley scholars who have been
instrumental in developing the constructional research
program, the conference will feature three plenary talks by
Charles Fillmore, UC Berkeley
Paul Kay, UC Berkeley
George Lakoff, UC Berkeley
The diversity of constructional research in its various models
and applications will be featured in the talks of the following
invited speakers:
Seizi Iwata, Gifu University, Japan
Knud Lambrecht, University of Texas at Austin
Ronald Langacker, University of California at San Diego
Ivan Sag, Stanford University
Arnold Zwicky, Stanford University
Regular conference papers (20-min. talk plus 10-min.
discussion) are invited on any aspect of linguistic analysis
that is concerned with constructions and/or frames. We
welcome work on issues in syntax, morphology, semantics,
pragmatics, discourse, language acquisition, corpus
linguistics, language variation/change, etc. We also
encourage interdisciplinary contributions from fields that
intersect with linguistics and to which the notion of
constructions is relevant.
SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS:
Abstracts of 500 words, with an additional page for graphs, data, and/or
reference if necessary, should be submitted by January 15th, 2001. If you
are submitting by regular mail, please provide 5 copies of your anonymous
abstract with the title of the paper at the top and a 3" x 5" index card
including the following information: author's name and affiliation, title of
paper, mailing address, and e-mail address. All should be mailed to:
Construction Grammar Conference, Dept. of Linguistics, 1203 Dwinelle Hall,
University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720.
If submitting electronically (in ASCII, making sure that special formatting,
characters, diacritics, etc. are not a problem), please send the text of
your abstract to iccg2001 at ICSI.Berkeley.EDU and include the author
information listed above as part of your message. Upon acceptance, authors
will be requested to submit a short descriptive abstract (150 words) for a
conference booklet to be distributed among the conference participants.
DEADLINES and IMPORTANT DATES:
Deadline for long abstracts: January 15th, 2001
Authors notified of acceptance: February 1st, 2001
Deadline for short abstracts: March 1st, 2001

Final Call for Papers
Student Research Workshop
at the joint ACL/EACL 2001 Meeting
July 6-11, 2001
Toulouse, France
submission deadline: February 12, 2001
paper registration deadline: February 5, 2001
The information below can also be found at this URL:
www.science.uva.nl/~christof/acl01-student/
Note: The exact dates of the Workshop have not been firmly established
yet. Tentatively, the Workshop may take place anytime between 6th and
11th of July, 2001.
1. General Invitation for Submissions
The Student Research Workshop is an established tradition at ACL
conferences. The main purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum
for student researchers who are investigating various areas related to
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. We would
like to invite student researchers to submit their work to the
workshop. Seeing that the main mission of the student workshop is to
provide the participants with a wide audience and useful feedback, the
emphasis of the workshop will be on work in progress. For the Student
Workshop, original, and unpublished research is invited on all aspects
of computational linguistics, including, but not limited to these
topic areas:
- pragmatics
- discourse
- semantics
- syntax and the lexicon
- phonetics
- phonology and morphology
- interpreting and generating spoken and written language
- linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language
- language-oriented information retrieval and information extraction
- corpus-based language modeling
- machine translation and translation aids
- natural language interfaces and dialogue systems
- approaches to coordinating the linguistic with other modalities in
multi-media systems
- message and narrative understanding systems
The main conference will also feature tutorials, workshops, and demos.
See the Main ACL/EACL 2001 page for information:
http://www.irit.fr/ACTIVITES/EQ_ILPL/aclWeb/acl2001.html
2. Submission Requirements
Papers should describe original work in progress. The main purpose of
presenting at the workshop is to exchange ideas with other researchers
and to receive helpful feedback for further development of the
work. Papers should clearly indicate directions for future research
wherever appropriate. The papers can have more than one author;
however, all authors MUST be students. A paper accepted for
presentation at the Student Workshop cannot be presented or have been
presented at any other meeting with publicly available published
proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences must
indicate this immediately after the title material on the first page.
3. Submission Procedure
Paper Registration
Registration of your submission is required. This can be done by
filling out a form available at the web site of the workshop:
www.science.uva.nl/~christof/acl01-student/
After you fill out and submit this form, a unique ID number will be
generated and sent to you in an e-mail shortly after the paper
registration. You will then be able to use this ID number instead of
your name on the title page of the paper and in any subsequent
correspondence with the workshop co-chairs.
If you are unable to use the on-line form for paper registration or
experience problems using it, please, send email to
acl01-student at science.uva.nl
Submission format
Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and
should not exceed six (6) pages, including references. We strongly
recommend the use of ACL latex style files or Microsoft Word Style
files tailored for this year's conference. These will soon be
available from the web site:
http://www.science.uva.nl/~christof/acl01-student/
These style files allow for a graceful transition to the style
required for publication. A description of the format will also be
available in case you are unable to use these style files directly.
Separate items to be submitted

4. Reviewing Procedure
Reviewing of papers submitted to the Student Workshop will be managed
by the Student Workshop Co-Chairs, each of whom will have the
assistance of a team of reviewers. Each submission will be matched
with a mixed panel of student and senior researchers for review. The
final acceptance decision will be made based on the results of the
review.
Note that reviewing of papers will be blind; therefore, please, make
sure you do not put the author(s) name(s) on the title page. (See
paper submission requirements for details). You should not have any
self-identifying references anywhere in the paper submitted for
review. For example, you can't have a reference like this "We showed
previously (Smith, 1991), ..." Instead, use citations such as "Smith
previously showed (Smith, 1991)..."
5. Schedule
