Call for Papers Fifth International Conference on Meaning-Text Theory (MTT
'11)
8-9 September 2011, Barcelona, Spain

The Meaning-Text Theory <http://meaningtext.net/> is a holistic linguistic
theory characterized in particular by the central position of the lexicon,
the primacy of semantics, the importance of the communicative structure (=
information structure), and the reliance on dependencies on all levels. MTT
has been extensively developed over the last four decades with respect to
its coverage of linguistic phenomena and application in a variety of
research fields - in particular natural language processing.

 After MTT '03 in Paris, MTT '05 in Moscow, MTT '07 in Klagenfurt, and MTT
'09 in Montreal, this conference is the fifth in a series that aims at
bringing together researchers working on MTT and its implementation in the
framework of different natural language processing applications. The
conference will be held in conjunction with the      International
Conference on Dependency Linguistics <http://depling.org/> to take place
immediately before MTT '11. Unlike the previous MTT Conferences, MTT '11
will be organized in terms of thematic tracks. This new format shall help
center the conference and stimulate in-depth contributions and discussions
at the conference. Submissions are invited on one of the following themes
approached from the perspective of MTT or any related framework:
