Meeting Description:

Framing is a central notion in the study of language use to
rhetorically package information strategically to achieve
conversational goals (Entman, 1993) but also, more broadly, in the
study of how we organize our experience (Goffman, 1974). In his
seminal article, Entman (1993) defines framing as "to select some
aspects of a perceived reality and make them more salient in a
communicating text, in such a way as to promote problem definition,
causal interpretation, moral evaluation, and/or treatment
recommendation for the item described." This frame definition has
recently been operationalized in NLP in terms of coarse-grained topic
dimensions (Card et al., 2015), e.g., by modeling the framing of
immigration in the media as a challenge to economy vs. a human rights
issue. But there is more to frames than just topics.

The breadth of the debate on what constitutes a frame and on its
(formal and cognitive) definition naturally correlates to the
interdisciplinary relevance of this phenomenon: a theoretically
motivated (computational) model for framing is still needed, and this
is precisely the goal of this workshop, which will bring together
researchers from theoretical, applied and computational linguistics
interested in framing analysis.
Our main interest is in furthering our understanding of how different
linguistic levels  contribute to the framing of messages, and to pave
the way for the development of linguistically-driven computational
models of how people use framing to communicate their attitudes,
preferences and opinions.

We thus invite contributions that cover all levels of linguistic
analysis and methods: from phonetics (e.g., euphony: the use of
repetition, alliteration, rhymes and slogans to create persuasive
messages) and syntax (e.g., topicalization, passivization) to
semantics (lexical choices, such as Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice; the use
of pronouns to create in- vs. out-groups; the use of metaphors;
different types of implicit meaning) to pragmatics (e.g., pragmatic
framing through the use of presupposition-triggering adverbs). We also
invite work on experimental and computational studies on framing which
employ linguistic structure to better understand instances of framing.

Call for Papers:

Submission details:
We invite submissions of anonymous abstracts for 30 min talks
including discussion. Submissions should not exceed one page, 11pt
single spaced (abstract + references), with an optional additional
page for images.  The reviewing process is double-blind; please ensure
that the paper does not include the authors' names and affiliations.
Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g.,
"We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead,
use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) …".
