(Note that the HdU is located in the city and /not /on university campus!)

*Organizers:*Prof. Dr. Alexander Ziem, Dr. des. Sascha Michel, 
Ann-Katrin Noehren, M.Ed., Alexander Willich, M.A.

*Registration*: Interested linguists are cordially invited to 
participate in the conference. Please get registered through the 
registration form 
<https://gsw.phil.hhu.de/wpevent?id=towards-a-multilingual-constructicon-issues-approaches-perspectives>. 
The participation fee is 30 Euro, including snacks during breaks, and 
has to be paid on site.


The conference offers a forum in which internationally leading linguists 
in the field of construction grammar / language technology come together 
in order to break new ground in creating a digital language resource in 
the form of a FrameNet and Constructicon, both on a monolingual and a 
multilingual basis. Empirically, the overall aim is to systematically 
capture both grammar and lexicon on a par as rich resources of 
meaningful concepts (“frames”, “constructions”) and to document and 
compare them across languages. With a special focus on multilingual 
issues, the conference brings together researchers who are currently 
involved in developing repositories of grammatical constructions and 
frames in order to explore and refine the design of a multilingual 
resource in methodological, application-related and computational terms. 
It is hosted by the German FrameNet & Constructicon project 
(www.german-constructicon.de), located at the University of Duesseldorf.

By focusing on identifying, analyzing and representing grammatical 
constructions in monolingual and multilingual constructica, the 
conference specifically addresses the following issues, among others.

-How is it possible to identify and uniformly describe constructions in 
such a way that they can be aligned and interconnected across languages?

-How comprehensive and detailed should (semantic) annotations of 
constructions be?

-To what extent can frame semantic data be used for the semantic 
description of constructions? Is FrameNet generally suitable as a 
resource for identifying constructions?

-To what extent should differences (regarding, for instance, constraints 
and productivity) between constructions in different languages be taken 
into account?

-How is it possible to link constructica as closely as possible with 
existing resources (DWDS, Pattern Bank, EVALBU etc.)? What is the 
benefit of such interconnections?

-To what extent may constructica help to improve foreign language 
teaching and learning?

-Can existing resources (especially annotated data) be used to develop 
or improve semantic parsers?

-Where are the limits of a constructicographic approach to grammatical 
constructions?

A detailed announcement and the full conference program are also 
available on the conference website
