[Corpora-List] Linguistic Creativity -- CALC-2009 -- Call for Participation

[Anna Feldman]

==============================================================
CALC-2009
Workshop of Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity

June 4, 2009
In conjunction with NAACL HLT 2009
Boulder, Colorado

==============================================================
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
==============================================================

It is generally agreed upon that "linguistic creativity" is
a unique property of human language. Some claim that linguistic
creativity is expressed in our ability to combine known words
in a new sentence, others refer to our skill to express
thoughts in figurative language, and yet others talk about
syntactic recursion and lexical creativity.

For the purpose of this workshop, we treat the term
"linguistic creativity" to mean "creative language usage at
different levels", from the lexicon to syntax to discourse
and text.

The program consists of an invited talk (see below),
eight full papers, and four posters with short presentations.
The papers are grouped into three thematic sessions:

I. Metaphors and Eggcorns;
II. Generating Creative Texts;
III. From Morphology to Pragmatics to Text.

Details are available at the workshop website:

"Curveship: An Interactive Fiction System for Interactive Narrating."
