Sixth International Conference on Meaning-Text Theory



The Meaning-Text Theory 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 at 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, MTT '09 in Montreal, MTT’11 in
Barcelona, this conference is the sixth in a series that aims at bringing
together researchers working on MTT and related frameworks and their
implementation in the natural language processing applications.

The main unifying ideas for MTT’13 are interaction and semantic motivation:
interaction of different linguistic units, interaction of different levels
of language, and semantic motivation of syntax, semantic motivation of
collocations.

Submissions in the following areas are welcome:

*Morphology*, with a particular focus on semantics of morphological
categories, including non-standard meanings and usages, and interaction of
morphological and lexical semantics

*Syntax*, with a particular focus on semantic motivation and classes in
government patterns, description of government patterns in dictionaries,
micro-syntax as a sphere of modal meanings, syntactic phrasemes

*Semantics and Lexicography*, with a particular focus on lexicographic
definitions, semantic scopes, semantic interaction of linguistic units in
texts, lexicalization of prosody, lexicalization of grammar (e.g. synonymy
of singular and plural in certain lexemes)

*Collocations and Lexical Functions*, with a particular focus on
semantically motivated collocations

*Computational Applications*

*Typology*

The conference will be organized in conjunction with the International
Conference on Dependency Linguistics (
http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/project/depling13) to take place immediately before
MTT '13 (August 27-30). Participation in both conferences is warmly welcome.
