Location: Lisbon, Portugal

Meeting Description:

TLT serves as a venue for new and ongoing research on the topic of linguistics and tree banks. The 11th edition of TLT will take place in Lisbon, Portugal on November 30 - December 1, 2012, and is hosted by CLUL at the University of Lisbon.

This year, TLT will be accompanied by the second Workshop on Annotation of Corpora for Research in the Humanities (ACRH-2) that takes place on November 29, 2012. More information is available at the ACRH-2 website:

http://alfclul.clul.ul.pt/crpc/acrh2/index.html

Treebanks are language resources that provide annotations at various levels of linguistic structure beyond the word level. They typically provide syntactic constituent or dependency structures for sentences and sometimes functional and predicate-argument structures. Treebanks have become crucially important for the development of data-driven approaches to natural language processing, human language technologies, grammar extraction and linguistic research in general. Additionally, there are projects that explore annotation beyond syntactic structure (including, for instance, semantic, pragmatic and rhetorical annotation) and beyond a single language (for instance, parallel treebanks).

Experiences in building syntactically processed corpora have shown that there is a relation between formal linguistic theory and the practice of syntactic annotation. Since the practices of building syntactically-processed corpora have proved that aiming at more detailed description of the data becomes more and more theory-dependent, the connections between treebank development and linguistic theories need to be tightly connected in order to ensure the necessary information flow between them. This series of workshops aims to provide a forum for researchers and advanced students working in these areas.

Invited Speakers:

Mark Steedman, University of Edinburgh, UK
Nianwen Xue, Brandeis University, USA 

Final Call for Papers:

Extended deadline for paper submission: September 9, 2012

TLT has served as an ideal venue for new and ongoing high-quality work related to syntactically-annotated corpora, i.e., treebanks, encompassing descriptive, theoretical, formal and computational aspects of treebanks. Submissions are invited for papers, posters, and demonstrations which present research on treebanks and their intersection with linguistics, natural language processing, and other related fields.

Workshop Topics:

The workshop invites submissions that discuss relevant innovative work in treebanking, including the relations and links between various aspects of morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic annotation; furthermore, submissions describing work on parallel treebanks and/or cross-language annotation schemas, on the relation between linguistic theory and the practice of annotation, and on applications of information in treebanks are encouraged as well.

We invite submission of papers and posters on the following topics:

- Design principles and annotation schemes for treebanks
- Applications of treebanks in acquiring linguistic knowledge and in NLP
- The role of linguistic theories in treebank development
- Treebanks as a basis for linguistic research
- Semantically and pragmatically annotated treebanks
- Evaluation and quality control of treebanks
- Tools for creation and management of treebanks
- Treebanks of less-resourced languages
- Theories, schemas, and applications for parallel treebanks
- Standards for treebanks

Important Dates:

Conference: November 30 and December 1, 2012
Deadline for paper submission: September 9, 2012
Notification of acceptance: October 10, 2012
Camera-ready paper submission: October 28, 2012
Conference Registration deadline: October 31, 2012
