Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 01-Apr-2017 

Meeting Description:

Natural language understanding systems require a knowledge base provided with
formal representations reflecting the structure of human beings' cognitive
system. Although surface semantics can be sufficient in some other systems,
the construction of a robust knowledge base guarantees its use in most natural
language processing applications, thus consolidating the concept of resource
reuse. This conference deals with meaning and knowledge representation in the
context of natural language understanding from the perspective of theoretical
linguistics, computational linguistics, cognitive science, knowledge
engineering, artificial intelligence or linked data and semantic web
technologies.


Call for Papers:

We invite 20-minute (plus 10-minute discussion) presentation proposals on the
following general and/or specific topics:

General topics

- At the crossroads between functionalist, cognitivist and/or constructionist
approaches.
- Division of labour of lexical semantics and constructional semantics.
- Role of metaphor and metonymy and other cognitive operations in meaning
construction and grammar.
- Relationship between semantics, pragmatics and discourse in meaning
construction and/or meaning representation.
- Cognitive modeling and construal.
- Linked data and semantic web technologies.

Lexical Constructional Model (LCM) and FunGramKB specific topics

- Meaning construction and meaning representation in the LCM.
- Methodological tools in the LCM (e.g. equipollence).
- Syntactic representation in the LCM.
- The form of lexical and constructional templates in the LCM.
- Connections between the LCM and FunGramKB.
- Lexico-grammatical knowledge in FunGramKB.
- Terminology in FunGramKB.
- Conceptual representation in FunGramKB.
- Reasoning in FunGramKB.
- NLP applications of FunGramKB.
