Last call for papers
SLTC 2010 Workshop on Compounds and Multiword Expressions
October 29, Linköping, Sweden

Workshop webpage: http://www.ida.liu.se/~sarst/compound-ws/

Compounds and Multiword Expressions (MWEs) -- for example, nominal
compounds ("frying pan"), verb-particle constructions ("take off"), and
idiomatic expressions ("break the ice") -- constitute a highly frequent
phenomenon in natural language, yet one that provides a challenge to the
traditional division between lexicon and grammar in linguistics and
language technology.

The goal of this workshop is to discuss current activities and outstanding
problems in the area of compounds and MWEs from a theoretical and/or
applications-oriented perspective. This involves identification,
interpretation and disambiguation of compounds and MWEs, as well as
applications where these tasks become crucial.

Note that the workshop is separate from, but has the support of the
(organisers of the) international workshop on Multiword Expressions (see
http://multiword.sourceforge.net/PHITE.php?sitesig=CONF). The workshops
overlap contentwise, but the SLTC Workshop is a locally organized event
where reports about on-going work as well as completed results are equally
welcome, and from which only abstracts will be published.

Submission:
Submissions are invited as two-page abstracts, following the formatting
guidelines of SLTC. For further details see the workshop page:

Submission deadline: September 20

SLTC 2010, Linköping, Sweden.
