SECOND CALL FOR SUBMISSION
deadline : March 1st

MTT 2003
First International Conference on Meaning-Text Theory
Paris, Ecole Normale Supérieure
16-18 June 2003

Web site : http://mtt2003.linguist.jussieu.fr

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Goals
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Meaning-text Theory (MTT), which grew out of work on machine translation in
the USSR 40 years ago, is characterized by:

1. the Modeling of language as a correspondence between meaning and
texts/sounds;
2. the central position of the lexicon;
3. the privileged position of semantics over syntax;
4. and the use of a dependency representation in syntax.

This conference has two goals: researchers working in the MTT framework will
report on their research, and researchers in other frameworks are invited to
compare their work to MTT.

Invited Speakers

Jurij Apresjan         Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russian Federation
Richard Hudson         University College London, UK

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Expected Submissions
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Submissions related to all aspects of MTT are solicited, be they
theoretical, descriptive, or computational.

The conference is also open to MTT-based work in fields related to
linguistics, such as natural language processing, second language
teaching, or psycholinguistics.

Submissions detailing work in other frameworks are also solicited, as
long as the framework shares with MTT fundamental principles, such as
dependency syntax, the decomposition of lexical meaning, the modeling
of collocations, the stratification of the linguistic model, or the
use of correspondence rules between different levels of
representation.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission Format
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Submissions can be in French or in English.  They should be at most 10
pages (including all figures, data, notes, and bibliography) using a
12 point font, printed in one column.  Style files for Word and LaTeX
will be available on the web site.

Submissions should be sent as PDF or postscript file to:
mtt2003.submit at linguist.jussieu.fr

For any questions, please email mtt2003 at linguist.jussieu.fr
