Corpora: First call for papers: Cognitively Plausible Models of Semantic Processing

[SEMPRO - Semantic Processing Workshop]

            COGNITIVELY PLAUSIBLE MODELS OF SEMANTIC PROCESSING
                           SEMPRO-2001

	   (A workshop in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the
		     Cognitive Science Society)

                    July 31st, Edinburgh University

                   http://www.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/~sempro/


The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to present models of
semantic processing (computational and non-computational) motivated by
psychological evidence or corpus studies. Topics of interest include:

- incrementality and underspecification in semantic processing
- lexical access and disambiguation
- semantic composition (e.g., interpretation of modifiers such as adjectives,
  of modal expressions, of negation)
- anaphora resolution
- scope assignment
- detection and exploitation of discourse structure
- semantic interpretation in dialogues (e.g., models of grounding)

We would especially like to encourage the exchange of results between
psychological experimentation, computational modelling, and corpus-based work.
