Subject:  Annual Meeting of Berkeley Linguistic Society


The Berkeley Linguistics Society is pleased to announce its Twenty-Ninth
Annual Meeting, to be held February 14-17, 2003.  The conference will
consist of a General Session, a Parasession and a Special Session.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


*GENERAL SESSION*

The General Session will cover all areas of linguistic interest.  We
encourage proposals from diverse theoretical frameworks and also
welcome papers on language-related topics from disciplines such as
Anthropology, Cognitive Science, Literature, Neuroscience and
Psychology.


*Invited Speakers*
Judith Aissen, University of California, Santa Cruz
Mark Hale, Concordia University
Royal Skousen, Brigham Young University
Arnold Zwicky, Stanford University


*PARASESSION* -- Phonetic Sources of Phonological Patterns:
                 Synchronic and Diachronic Explanations The
Parasession invites submissions on the role of phonetics in shaping
phonological patterns. Papers representing all views and approaches
are sought. Those addressing the relative merits of synchronic and
diachronic explanations of phonetically-motivated phonological
patterns are particularly welcomed.

*Invited Speakers*
Juliette Blevins, University of California, Berkeley
Charles Reiss, Concordia University
Donca Steriade, Massachusetts Institute of Technology


*SPECIAL SESSION* -- Minority and Diasporic Languages of Europe
The Special Session will cover minority and diasporic languages of
Europe.  Languages of interest include minority, threatened and
diasporic European languages and dialects, in both Europe and former
colonies and in immigrant and heritage situations, as well as pidgins
and creoles based on languages spoken in Europe.  Proposals from
linguistics and related fields are encouraged.

*Invited Speakers*
Julie Auger, Indiana University
J. Clancy Clements, Indiana University
Joshua Fishman, Yeshiva University

Anne Abeillé (Paris 7 & LLF, Paris)
Silvia Hansen (Saarland University, Saarbrücken)
Hans Uszkoreit (Saarland University & DFKI, Saarbrücken)


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
