[Lexicog] International Workshop on Terminology and Lexical Semantic s (TLS'09)

[Amparo Alcina]

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

International Workshop on Terminology and Lexical Semantics (TLS’09)

< http://olst.ling.umontreal.ca/tls09/lang-pref/en/>
Université de Montréal
Montreal (Quebec) CANADA
June 19, 2009

In conjunction with
Fourth International Conference on Meaning-Text Theory (MTT'09)
< http://olst.ling.umontreal.ca/mtt09/>
June 16-18, 2009



Recent work on terminology processing (corpus-based or knowledge-based
terminology, computational terminology, terminography or specialized
lexicography, etc.) has shown the importance of taking into account the
linguistic aspects of terms as well as their conceptual aspects. Linguistic
aspects are often those that must be dealt with when processing or analyzing
corpora. Conceptual aspects, on the other hand, are those that
terminologists must take into account when building knowledge
representations in specific subject fields. The weight given to each aspect
depends on the theoretical model on which a terminology project relies, its
objectives or the application for which it is developed
Although conceptual and linguistic aspects of terms are recognized as being
necessary, less work has been carried out on their linguistic properties and
their formal representation. Which linguistic properties should be
represented? Which theoretical model is better adapted to terminological
needs? How can linguistic properties of terms — especially lexico-semantic
aspects — be implemented in terminology applications? All these questions
must be addressed and resolved when processing specialized texts and
representing knowledge.
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers interested in linguistic
approaches — especially lexico-semantic aspects — to the description of
terms. This workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss issues of a
fundamental nature (e.g., the modelling of meaning or the definition of sets
of lexical relationships) as well as applied work dealing with the
acquisition of lexical aspects of terms or their representation in formal
structures.  
TOPICS
-	Use of lexical semantics models (e.g.  Semantic Frames, Generative
Lexicon, Explanatory Combinatorial Lexicology, Functional-Lexematic Model)
in terminological descriptions
-	Combination of concept-based and lexico-semantic approaches in
terminological descriptions
-	Modelling of lexical relationships (paradigmatic and syntagmatic),
specialized meaning, sense distinctions, argument structure, multilingual
terminological data 
-	Implementation of lexical descriptions of terms in terminological
databases, dictionaries, ontologies and other formal knowledge
representations
-	Use of lexical descriptions of terms in computer applications
-	Automatic or semi-automatic identification of lexical relationships,
collocations and other lexical aspects of terms in specialized corpora
