post-cognitivist psychology, particularly work in the tradition of George

Conversational Analysis (such as Jonathan Potter) will also be present.

Conference

Post-Cognitivist Psychology 2005
Call for papers

4th, 5th, and 6th July 2005
University of Strathclyde
Glasgow.
UK.

Sponsors:
British Psychological Society (Scottish Branch), and the Centre for Applied
Social Psychology (CASP), University of Strathclyde.

Organizers:
Tony Anderson (University of Strathclyde)
John Davies (University of Strathclyde)
Alastair Ross (University of Strathclyde)
Brendan Wallace (University of Glasgow)

Website URL:

http://www.strath.ac.uk/conferences/postcog2005/

Senior guest speakers:

Mark Johnson (University of Oregon)
Annette Karmiloff-Smith (UCL)
Susan Hurley (University of Warwick)
Rob Ellis (University of Plymouth).

The remaining papers will be presented by researchers and academics in the
related fields of psychology, philosophy of mind, linguistics and
artificial intelligence (artificial life).

Purpose:  With the decline of traditional 'rules and symbols' 'cognitivist'
psychology, it has been clear that new approaches are needed. This
conference will bring together researchers from a variety of fields and
approaches with a view to 'building bridges' between researchers in
disparate research areas. The extent to which these approaches constitute a
'paradigm shift' in the Kuhnian sense, will be a key theme of the conference.

Papers and posters are welcomed from researchers in the fields of embodied
cognition, discursive cognition, situated cognition, distributed cognition,
artificial life, post-Chomskyan linguistics, activity theory, and
ecological (Gibsonian) psychology.

A proposal can be submitted for any of the following types of presentation:

-	Individual paper (30 minutes including time for discussion)
-	Individual poster
-	Symposium presentation (no more than 3 papers, 90 minutes including time
for discussion)

The language of the conference is English. Individual papers will be
arranged within sessions according to their themes as much as possible.
Papers, symposia and posters on all relevant subjects will be considered,
but they should take account of the conference themes.

Abstracts

300 word abstracts should be sent to the email address below by 1st
February 2005. Abstracts should be submitted in Word, RTF or PDF either on
disk, together with a hard copy, or by email (preferred). Authors of
accepted papers will be notified by the 1st April 2005. Proposals for
symposia should include an overall outline and abstracts for individual papers.

Email submissions of abstracts should be sent to:

Tony Anderson: Tony.Anderson at strath.ac.uk

3rd International Workshop on Generative Approaches to the Lexicon

(Endorsed by ACL/SIGLEX)

Important dates:
Paper due: * January, 30th, 2005 *
Acceptance/rejection notice: End of February 2005
Final version due: April 15th, 2005
Conference: May 19-21, 2005

Topic:

The aim of the GL workshop is to bring together diverse contributions in
philosophy, linguistics, computer science and lexicography to explore the
lexicon from the point of view of generativity. The discussions will be
centered, but are not limited to, the emerging view of ''Generative Lexicon
Theory'' (Pustejovsky). Topics include:

- Philosophical foundations of a generative approach
- Generative lexicon theory and representation of word meaning
- Analysis of linguistic phenomena
- Framework for lexical semantics
- Philosophical differences between frameworks
- Critical perspectives

In this third workshop we would like to keep all the above perspectives,
but put more of the focus on available on-line lexical resources and their
practical use in NLP applications, in particular:

- Building new resources
- Acquiring lexical information
- Maintaining resources
- Representing lexical information (i.e. polysemy, collocation links,
    multiword expressions, predicate-argument structure)
- Using lexical information in applications
- Specialization and customization for specific applications
- Links between different frameworks
- Sharing lexical resources
- Multilinguality in the lexicon
- Standardization and evaluation

Papers on on-line resources can make reference to any semantic lexicons
(Wordnet, Framenet, Meaning-text theory, etc.), but a link to Generative
Lexicon theory is desirable (Pustejovsky, 1995). Key topics are:

- How to build a Generative Lexicon?
- How a Generative Lexicon can be extracted from existing resources or corpora?
- How to connect qualia structures with other lexical information?
- How to use Qualia structures in NLP applications?

The conference will be held over a period of two and a half days. Both
posters and presentations are foreseen.  Invited speakers include James
Pustejovsky (Brandeis University, Brandeis), Nicoletta Calzolari (Istituto
Di Linguistica Computazionale, Pisa), Ann Copestake (University of
Cambridge), Nicholas Asher (University of Texas at Austin) and Mirella
Lapata (University of Sheffield, UK).

Submission procedure: Authors should submit an anonymous paper of at most
10 single-column pages (including references) using a 12' body font size
together with a separate page specifying the author's name, affiliation,
address, e-mail address, title and type of paper (normal presentation or
poster). The minimum size is 3 pages for a poster paper and 5 pages for a
normal paper. The papers should be submitted electronically (in postscript,
rtf or pdf format) to both:
pierrette.bouillon at issco.unige.ch and kanzaki at nict.go.jp.

Language: All papers must be submitted and presented in English. Accepted
papers will be published in the proceedings of the workshop.
