Meeting Description: 

Date: December 4-6, 2019

Location: Duesseldorf, Haus der Universitaet (http://www.hdu.hhu.de/) 
Please note that the HdU is located in the city and not on the university
campus!

Organizers: Prof. Dr. Alexander Ziem, Dr. des. Sascha Michel, Ann-Katrin
Noehren, M.Ed., Alexander Willich, M.A.

Registration: Interested linguists are cordially invited to participate in the
conference. Please get registered through the registration form. The
participation fee is 30 Euro, including snacks during breaks, and has to be
paid on site.

The conference offers a forum in which internationally leading linguists in
the field of construction grammar / language technology come together in order
to break new ground in creating a digital language resource in the form of a
FrameNet and Constructicon, both on a monolingual and a multilingual basis.
Empirically, the overall aim is to systematically capture both grammar and
lexicon on a par as rich resources of meaningful concepts (“frames”,
“constructions”) and to document and compare them across languages. With a
special focus on multilingual issues, the conference brings together
researchers who are currently involved in developing repositories of
grammatical constructions and frames in order to explore and refine the design
of a multilingual resource in methodological, application-related and
computational terms. It is hosted by the German FrameNet & Constructicon
project (www.german-constructicon.de), located at the University of
Duesseldorf.

By focusing on identifying, analyzing and representing grammatical
constructions in monolingual and multilingual constructica, the conference
specifically addresses the following issues, among others.
- How is it possible to identify and uniformly describe constructions in such
a way that they can be aligned and interconnected across languages?
- How comprehensive and detailed should (semantic) annotations of
constructions be?
- To what extent can frame semantic data be used for the semantic description
of constructions? Is FrameNet generally suitable as a resource for identifying
constructions?
- To what extent should differences (regarding, for instance, constraints and
productivity) between constructions in different languages be taken into
account?
- How is it possible to link constructica as closely as possible with existing
resources (DWDS, Pattern Bank, EVALBU etc.)? What is the benefit of such
interconnections?
- To what extent may constructica help to improve foreign language teaching
and learning?
- Can existing resources (especially annotated data) be used to develop or
improve semantic parsers?
- Where are the limits of a constructicographic approach to grammatical
constructions?
