>Apart from researchers from the core disciplines
>of ethnography, didactics and linguistics, we

>the Internet influenced by social interaction?
>- How do semantic structures and traditional concepts change on the Web?
>- How is the cultural space of the Web created
>(from a sociological and technological perspective) and limited?
>- In what ways can ethnographic methods
>contribute to research into sociocultural
>phenomena on the web and how would such an
>Internet-oriented application change and influence the ethnographic toolkit?
>
>2. Learning
>- How do learning processes change on the Web?
>- What role does the Web play in different learning environments and contexts?
>- How can the Internet as a medium of

> Final Call for Papers
>
> 30 March 2009
> Co-located with
> The 12th Conference of the
> European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
> Athens, Greece
> Submission deadline: 19 December 2008
> Submission system is now open

>
>
>Scope
>
>There has been growing interest over the last few years in learning
>grammars from natural language text (and structured or semi-structured
>text). The family of techniques enabling such learning is usually
>called "grammatical inference" or "grammar induction".
>
>The field of grammatical inference is often subdivided into formal
>grammatical inference, where researchers aim to proof efficient
>learnability of classes of grammars, and empirical grammatical
>inference, where the aim is to learn structure from data. In this
>case the existence of an underlying grammar is just regarded as a
>hypothesis and what is sought is to better describe the language
>through some automatically learned rules.
>
>Both formal and empirical grammatical inference have been linked with
>(computational) linguistics. Formal learnability of grammars has been
>used in discussions on how people learn language. Some people mention
>proofs of (non-)learnability of certain classes of grammars as
>arguments in the empiricist/nativist discussion. On the more
>practical side, empirical systems that learn grammars have been
>applied to natural language. Instead of proving whether classes of
>grammars can be learnt, the aim here is to provide practical learning
>systems that automatically introduce structure in language. Example
>fields where initial research has been done are syntactic parsing,
>morphological analysis of words, and bilingual modeling (or machine
>translation).
>
>This workshop at EACL 2009 aims to explore the state-of-the-art in
>these topics. In particular, we aim at bringing formal and empirical
>grammatical inference researchers closer together with researchers in
>the field of computational linguistics.
>
>
>
>Topics
>
>We invite the submission of papers on original and unpublished
>research on all aspects of grammatical inference in relation to
>natural language (such as, syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology,
>phonetics), including, but not limited to
>
> * Automatic grammar engineering, including, for example,
> - parser construction,
> - parameter estimation,
> - smoothing, ...
> * Unsupervised parsing
> * Language modelling
> * Transducers, for instance, for
> - morphology,
> - text to speech,
> - automatic translation,
> - transliteration,
> - spelling correction, ...
> * Learning syntax with semantics
> * Unsupervised or semi-supervised learning of linguistic knowledge
> * Learning (classes of) grammars (e.g. subclasses of the Chomsky
> Hierarchy) from linguistic inputs
> * Comparing learning results in different frameworks (e.g. membership
> vs. correction queries)
> * Learning linguistic structures (e.g. phonological features,
> lexicon) from the acoustic signal
> * Grammars and finite state machines in machine translation
> * Learning setting of Chomskyan parameters
> * Cognitive aspects of grammar acquisition, covering, among others,
> - developmental trajectories as studied by psycholinguists working
> with children,
> - characteristics of child-directed speech as they are manifested
> in corpora such as CHILDES, ...
> * (Unsupervised) Computational language acquisition (experimental or
> observational)
