Corpora: 5th Workshop on Interlinguas-Call for Papers

[Priscilla Rasmussen]

	Fifth Workshop on Interlinguas : Call for Papers

The call for papers for the Fifth Workshop on Interlinguas is
available at http://crl.nmsu.edu/Events/FWOI/FifthWorskhop/

The goal of this workshop is to bring together specialists to work out
a practical, cross-language system of semantic relations for use in
representing events and states of affairs including, but not limited
to, participant relations (e.g., agent, patient, recipient,
benefactee, instrument, etc.), spatial relations (e.g., anterior,
posterior, superior, inferior, interior, etc.) and temporal relations
(e.g., prior-to, following, concurrent, etc.).

Papers are invited on:
  identifying systems of semantic relations and the linguistic devices
  for expressing them,

  methods for developing (or extending) such systems of relations,

  inferencing techniques for exploiting such systems of relations for
  particular MT tasks, such as

     disambiguation,
     reference resolution,
     the recovery of ellipted information,
     interpeting noun-noun compounds,
     metonymy and metaphor, etc.

The workshop will be held on Wednesday, September 19, 2001, in
conjunction with MT Summit VIII in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

Submission deadline: April 15, 2001
