*______________

The 1st *International Symposium on the Sociology of Words*, 1 - 2 December
2011, will be hosted by the English Department, La Merced Campus, Universidad
de Murcia <http://www.um.es/universidad/planos/index.php> (Spain), and
organized by the research groups *LACELL* (
www.um.es/grupolacell<http://www.um.es/Aquilino/AppData/Local/Library/Mail%20Downloads/www.um.es/grupolacell>),
headed by Professor Aquilino Sánchez, and *LEXICOM* (www.lexicom.es), headed
by Professor Ricardo Mairal, from UNED. Both groups have undertaken and are
currently developing research projects closely related to the main topic of
the symposium.

In addition to plenary lectures, papers and round-table talks, which will be
given in English, some 10-minute contributions, either in English or in
Spanish, are planned. Furthermore, posters will be displayed during the
second day of the symposium.

Proposals for short papers and posters may be submitted *up to 25 October,
2011*, with notification of acceptance by *November 10, 2011*. Proposals may
deal with any topic in connection with these areas:

*Structure and organization of lexical meaning

Collocates and their basic essentials

Lexical cohesion

Lexical combinations

Lexical units and meaning

Theory and structure of lexical meaning

Computational processing of lexical meaning

Lexical disambiguation and its computational processing



*Contributions to the symposium will be presented by experts on research
into lexical meaning and its computational processing. They are in charge of
research programs, run specialized centres connected with the symposium
topic and undertake research projects intimately related to studies on lexis
and meaning.

(a) Professor *Ignacio Bosque* (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) is a
renowned Spanish linguist, not only for his work on grammar, but also for
his Spanish dictionary (REDES) and his work on lexis.

(b) Professor *Thomas Herbst* (Universität Erlangen) is the director of the
Interdisciplinary Centre for Research on Lexicography, Valency and
Collocation at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg, and has published significant works
on collocates and their valencies.

(c) Professor *Ruslan Mitkov* is the director of the Research Institute in
Information and Language Processing (University of Wolverhampton), an
interdisciplinary centre in which language and social sciences are directed
towards the same objectives. At this Institute, there are two groups: the
Research Group of Computational Linguistics, and the group centred on
Statistical Cybermetrics Research.

(d) *A. Kilgarriff’s* research currently focuses on corpus analysis with
lexicographical purposes. He has provided and is developing valuable tools
for the computational processing of language. His work is widely known
through Lexicography MasterClass. His Sketch Engine is a powerful tool for
lexis processing.

(e) Professor *Elena de Miguel* (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) has
undertaken outstanding research on lexis and grammar.

(f) Professor *Francisco Ruiz de Mendoza* (Universidad de La Rioja) has
focused his research on cognitive linguistics, functional grammar and
lexicology. He is currently carrying out several research projects within
these areas.

(g) Professor *J. M. García Miguel* (Universidad de Vigo) develops an
outstanding line of research, especially within the project ADESSE
(Diathesis Alternation and Syntactic-Semantic Structures in Spanish),
devoted to syntactic-semantic characterization of verbal constructions in
Spanish.

(h) Professors *Pascual Cantos *and* Moisés Almela* (Universidad de Murcia)
run and are members of the LACELL group. They extensively research
lexicology, specifically with regard to lexical constellations, as well as
corpus linguistics and computational applications.

(i) Professor *Willy Martin* is emeritus professor of language and
communication at the Free University of Amsterdam. His research interests
focus on the lexicon, frame-based semantics, terminology and lexicography.
He has participated in multiple projects, nationally and internationally, to
construct bilingual dictionaries and lexical databases.

(j) Professor *Igor Boguslavsky* is a Research Fellow at the Artificial
Intelligence Department of the UPM. He centres his research on computational
linguistics, automatic translation, formal models of language, syntax,
semantics and lexicography.

(k) Professor *Costas Gabrielatos* (University of Lancaster) conducts
research on corpus, including theoretical and applied aspects, especially on
the relations between 'construction grammar and lexical grammar'. He has
also taken part in several research projects focused on discourse analysis.

(l) *Gerd Votjak* is a Professor of Spanish Linguistics at the Univ. of
Leipzig since 1980. He has published extensively and internationally in
several research fields, including lexical semantics, translation studies,
contrastive linguistics, text linguistics and phraseology. Prof. Wotjak has
held several important academic positions such as Head of the Institute for
Applied Linguistics and Translation Studies (Univ. of Leipzig), invited
professor at the University of Havana, or honorific Chair Juan de Valdés
(Univ. of Valladolid), among others. In 2005 he was awarded the Elio Antonio
de Nebrija Prize from the University of Salamanca.

(m) Professor *Antonio Moreno* (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) performs
ongoing research for the development of grammar books and computational
dictionaries.
