Hello.
I'm new to this list but excited to find it. I'm a doctoral candidate in
Rhetoric/Technical Communications and I'm writing my dissertation on the
rhetoric(s) of Agent Orange. Specifically, I'm studying the different ways
that arguments for/against AO were framed by the US and VM media, US/VM
governments across time. I've created a custom framing dictionary specific
to the corpus, but was wondering if there were standardized dictionaries
that could help me identify logical arguments, general rhetorical
strategies, and/or features?
Any help is appreciated.
Kindly,
Sarah Beth

> South Moravia is a traditional wine region. Brno had been a Royal
> City since 1347 and with its six universities it forms a cultural
> center of the region.

> Brno can be reached easily by direct flights from London, Moscow,
> and Eindhoven, and by trains or buses from Prague (200 km) or Vienna
> (130 km).
>
> For the participants with some extra time, nearby places may
> also be of interest. Local ones include: Brno Castle now called
> Spilberk, Veveri Castle, the Old and New City Halls, the
> Augustine Monastery with St. Thomas Church and crypt of Moravian
> Margraves, Church of St. James, Cathedral of St. Peter & Paul,
> Cartesian Monastery in Kralovo Pole, the famous Villa Tugendhat

> SPECIAL ISSUE ON
>
> High-level Methodologies for Grammar Engineering
>
> http://jlm.ipipan.waw.pl/
>
>
> Special Issue Description
> -------------------------
>
> Many grammatical frameworks have been proposed over the last decades
> to describe the syntax (and semantics) of natural language. Among the
> most widely used, one may cite (in chronological order) Tree-Adjoining
> Grammar (TAG) [Joshi et al., 1975], Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG)
> [Bresnan and Kaplan, 1982], Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG)
> [Steedman, 1987], or Head- driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG)
> [Pollard and Sag, 1994]. These frameworks present theoretical and
> practical interests. From a theoretical point of view, they provide a
> formal device for the linguist to experiment with her/his theories.
> >From a practical point of view, they make it possible to automatically
> process natural language in applications such as dialog systems,
> machine translation, etc. They differ in their expressivity and
> complexity. Some prove more suitable for the description of a given
> language than others. Still, for many of these frameworks, large
> resources (e.g., grammars) have been designed, at first by hand, and
> later via dedicated tools (e.g., integrated grammar environments such
> as XLE for LFG [King et al., 2000]). In this Special Issue, we are
> concerned with this complex task of grammar engineering, keeping in
> mind the two above-mentioned theoretical and practical interests.
>
>
> Topics of Interest
> ------------------
>
> This special issue welcomes contributions from the following topics
> (without being limited to these):
>
>
> 1. New or updated work on the traditional topics of GEAF workshops
>
> The traditional topics in the series of "Grammar Engineering Accross
> Frameworks" workshops, "Formal Grammar" conferences and / or the
> "High-level Methodologies for Grammar Engineering" ESSLLI 2013
> workshop are appropriate. The submitted paper must clearly deal with
> language modelling.
>
> An extended version of a workshop/conference paper can be submitted,
> provided that the contribution has been substantially updated. The
> forums for any preliminary versions of the paper must be indicated.
>
>
> 2. Study of new fundamental and / or applied results in relation with
> grammar development, maintenance and enhancement
>
> - dedicated description languages for grammar engineering
> - semi-automatic acquisition of grammars
> - development of grammars for under-resourced languages
> - cross-framework grammar engineering
> - cross-language grammar engineering
> - seamless construction of grammars from dynamically changing
> linguistic descriptions
> - designs of weighted grammars
> - efficient and dynamic construction of structures from updated rules
> or logical formulas
>
>
> 3. Study of new methods for grammar engineering and their applications
>
> - debugging environments for grammar design
> - systems based on large-scale grammars
>
>
> 4. In addition, the topics of interest include reports on
> implementations
>
> - new kinds of implementations of grammar compilers, libraries and
> on-demand operations
> - benchmarks suitable for evaluation of grammars
> - methods that construct, minimize or decompose grammars
>
>
> Important Dates
> ---------------

> - Deadline for submissions: 23 February 2014
> - First decision: 12 May 2014
> - Submission of revised version: 17 July 2014
