[Corpora-List] NooJ '08 LAST CALL FOR PAPERS

[Kuti Judit]

LAST CALL FOR PAPERS
2008 NooJ Conference
Budapest, Hungary
Deadline: 7 March, 2008


The Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of 
Sciences (HAS), LAboratoire de SEmioLinguistique, Didactique et 
Informatique (LASELDI, Univ. de Franche-Comté) and Maison des Sciences 
de l'Homme Claude Ledoux, France, are pleased to announce the 2008 NooJ 
Conference to be held in Budapest, Hungary, 8-10 June, 2008.

NooJ is a freeware, linguistic engineering development environment used 
to formalize various types of textual phenomena (orthography, lexical 
and productive morphology, local, structural and transformational 
syntax) using a large gamut of computational devices (from Finite-State 
Automata to Augmented Recursive Transition Networks). NooJ includes 
tools to construct, test, debug, maintain and accumulate large sets 
linguistic resources, and can apply them to large texts. NooJ is used as 
a linguistic engineering development platform, a corpus processor, an 
information extraction system, a terminological extractor, a Machine 
Translation development tool as well as to teach linguistics and 
computational linguistics.

To learn more about NooJ, download the software, linguistic resources, 
manual, tutorials and reference papers: www.nooj4nlp.net.

This conference will hopefully provide an opportunity for NooJ users, as 
well as other researchers interested in corpus linguistics, to meet and 
to exchange their experience of development, research or teaching. It 
will also be the occasion to present and discover the recent 
developments of NooJ (v2.0).

To submit a paper, please send a one-page abstract before March 7, 2008 
to nooj08 at nytud.hu. The abstract, in French or in English, should 
contain the title of the article, the name, institution, surface mail 
and electronic address of each co-author. All papers will be reviewed by 
the Scientific Committee. Authors will be notified whether their papers 
are accepted or rejected by 30 April, 2008 the latest. The timeslot is 
30 minutes for presentations, including 5 minutes for discussions.
