International Conference ‘Computational and Corpus-based Phraseology’
Recent advances and interdisciplinary approaches

London, 13-14 November 2017


FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS


The forthcoming international conference ‘Computational and Corpus-based
Phraseology – recent advances and interdisciplinary approaches’ will take
place in London on 13 and 14 November, 2017.

Conference topics

The conference will focus on interdisciplinary approaches to phraseology
and invites submissions on a wide range of topics, including, but not
limited to: computational, corpus-based, psycholinguistic and cognitive
approaches to the study of phraseology, and practical applications in
computational linguistics, translation, lexicography and language
learning, teaching and assessment.

These topics cover but are not limited to the following:

Computational approaches to the study of multiword expressions, e.g.
automatic detection, classification and extraction of multiword
expressions; automatic translation of multiword expressions; computational
treatment of proper names; multiword expressions in NLP tasks and
applications such as parsing, machine translation, text summarisation,
term extraction, web search.

Corpus-based approaches to phraseology, e.g. corpus-based empirical
studies of phraseology, task-orientated typologies of phraseological units
(e.g. for annotation, lexicographic representation, etc.), annotation
schemes, applications in applied linguistics and more specifically
translation, interpreting, lexicography, terminology, language learning,
teaching and assessment (see also below)

Phraseology in mono- and bilingual lexicography and terminography, e.g.
new forms of presenting phraseological units in dictionaries and other
lexical resources based on corpus-based and corpus-driven approaches;
domain-specific terminology;

Phraseology in translation and cross-linguistic studies, e.g. use parallel
and comparable corpora for translating of phraseological units;
phraseological units in computer-aided translation; study of phraseology
across languages;

Phraseology in specialised languages and language dialects, e.g.
phraseology of specialised languages, study of phraseological use in
different dialects or varieties of a specific language

Phraseology in language learning, teaching and assessment: e.g. second
language/bilingual processing of phraseological units and formulaic
language; phraseological units in learner language;

Theoretical and descriptive approaches to phraseology, e.g. phraseological
units and the lexis-grammar interface, the relevance of phraseology for
theoretical models of grammar, the representation of phraseological units
in constituency and dependency theories, phraseology and its interaction
with semantics;

Cognitive and psycholinguistic approaches: e.g. cognitive models of
phraseological unit comprehension and production; on-line measures of
phraseological unit processing (e.g. eye tracking, event-related
potentials, self-paced reading); phraseology and language disorders;
phraseology and text readability;

As mentioned earlier, the above list is indicative and not exhaustive. Any
submission presenting a study related to the alternative terms of
phraseological units, multiword expressions, multiword units, formulaic
language or polylexical expressions, will be considered.


Submissions and publication
EUROPHRAS’2017 invites three types of submissions:

Regular papers: these papers will not be exceeding 15 pages and their
minimum length will be 12 pages. The accepted regular papers will be
published in a Springer LNAI volume which will be available at the time of
the conference

Short papers: these papers will not exceed 7 pages and will be available
as conference e-proceedings with ISBN and will be available at the time of
the conference

Poster presentations: these papers will not exceed 4 pages and will be
included in the conference e-proceedings along with the short papers

Each submission will be reviewed by at least 3 reviewers who will be
either members of the Programme Committee or reviewers proposed by
Programme Committee members.

The conference will not consider the submission and evaluation of
abstracts only.

The second call for papers will provide details on the submission procedure.
