Meeting Description: 

Call for Participation for the workshop: ''Annotating grammatical
constructions: issues, options, tutorials''

When? June 26, 2017, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm. 
Where? Haus der Universität (''Wichelmann-Raum''), Heinrich Heine University
Düsseldorf
Invited guest: Michael Ellsworth (International Computer Science Institute,
FrameNet, Berkeley)

Topics & aims: Constructions are said to be pairings of form and meaning that
can be both schematic (e.g. the ditransitive construction) or abstract (e.g.
the predicate-subject construction). How can we determine the meaning(s) of
constructions based on semantic annotations? The grammaticographic workshop
brings together linguists who are facing the challenge of annotating
grammatical constructions beyond frequency-related issues in quantitative
corpus linguistics. Methodologically, the workshop is based on preliminary
work within the so-called FrameNet constructicon (e.g., Fillmore et al. 2012,
for an overview: Ziem 2014). Important issues include, but are not limited to:

- Defining construction-related terminology
- Identifying construction elements, construction evoking elements, and
triggers of constructions
- The 'lumping-and-splitting' problem in grammaticography 
- Modeling form and meaning of constructions and networks of constructions
- Determining the 'depth' of the annotation 
- Coping with discontinuous constructions. 

Michael Ellsworth (ICSI, Berkeley) will join us as expert on the field of
annotating both semantic frames and grammatical constructions. Although the
major focus lies on practical issues, including hands-on sessions, there will
be the opportunity of discussing issues arising from analyses of specific
constructions addressed by the participants.

If you are interested in participating in the one-day workshop, please send an
email not later than May 20th to ziem at phil.hhu.de.

Training materials as well as coffee, drinks, and snacks will be provided.
The participation fee is 60 Euro.
