                                     GL2013: Generative Lexicon and 
Distributional Semantics
                         6th International Conference on Generative 
Approaches to the Lexicon

Hosted by ILC-CNR, Pisa - Italy
September 24-25, 2013
http://glcon2013.org

The goal of the GL conferences is to bring together diverse 
contributions from theoretical and computational linguistics, computer 
science, cognitive science, and lexicography, which explore 
compositionality from the point of view of generative approaches to the 
lexicon.  Historically, contributions have assumed, as a starting point, 
the view outlined in  Generative Lexicon theory (Pustejovsky, 1995, 
Pustejovsky et al, 2012).

Traditional topics of the GL conferences are:
- Polysemy and sense shifting
- Co-compositionality and creation of new word senses
- Type coercion and argument selection phenomena
- Argument realization: mapping from lexicon to syntax
- Cognitive foundations for semantic categories
- The trade-off between pragmatics and lexical knowledge
- Presupposition and commonsense knowledge
- Underspecification and word sense disambiguation

These topics can be approached from either a theoretical or 
computational perspective.

This year, GL2013 has a special focus on the relationship between 
generative approaches to the lexicon and distributional semantics. 
Distributional semantic models represent the meaning of lexical items in 
terms of vectors recording their pattern of distribution in linguistic 
contexts. They share with GL the goals of ovecoming the limitations of 
classical models of the lexicon based on context-independent sense 
distinctions, and promoting a different view of lexical content 
generated in contexts and with contexts. The conference aims at 
exploring the potential synergies emerging from the similarity as well 
as from the the complementarity of GL and distributional semantics. 
Possible topics include:

- classical semantic models that distributional semantics claims to be 
able to solve;
- current solutions and limits of distributional semantics theories to 
account for linguistic compositionality;
- prospects to enrich distributional semantics with robust first-order 
models of inference;
- the integration of  distributional semantic principles and techniques 
into a broader dynamic model theoretic framework.
