First Announcement
DISCOURSE PARTICLES, MODAL AND FOCAL PARTICLES AND ALL THAT STUFF...
The Department of Germanic Languages of the Vrije
Universiteit Brussel and the Linguistic Society of Belgium
invite papers for a two day international conference on
PARTICLES. The conference will take place at the Belgian
Science Foundation, 5 Rue Egmontstraat 5, B 1050 Brussels,
December 8-9, 2000.
CONFERENCE TOPIC The conference focusses on particles in a
broad sense, i.e. all lexical elements that do not
contribute to the propositional content of the sentence
and/or utterance, including what has been referred to in the
literature as apposition markers, attitude markers,
connecteurs phatiques, connecteurs pragmatiques, discourse
markers, discourse particles, focus adverbs, focus
particles, gliederungs-signale, inference particles,
marqueurs de la reformulation paraphrastique, marqueurs de
structuration de la conversation, modal particles,
non-referential indexes, phatic connectives, pragmalexeme,
pragmatic expressions, pragmatic markers, punctors,
redecharakterisierende adverbiale, utterance particles, void
pragmatic connectives, etc.
A non-exhaustive list of topics to be addressed during the
conference might be: syntactic, semantic and pragmatic
aspects of particles; particles in cross-linguistic and
typological perspective; particles in translation; particles
in the light of natural language processing; particles and
text structure; particles as part of the grammaticalisation
processes.

GOTALOG 2000
Fourth Workshop on the Semantics and Pragmatics of Dialogue
Gothenburg University, Sweden
June 15-17 2000
http://www.ling.gu.se/gotalog/
FIRST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Gotalog 2000 will be the fourth in a series of workshops that aim at
bringing together researchers working on the semantics and pragmatics
of dialogues in fields such as artificial intelligence, formal
semantics and pragmatics, computational linguistics, and
psychology. This year's workshop is organized in collaboration with
the EU-sponsored project TRINDI
http://www.ling.gu.se/research/projects/trindi/ , and will take place
at Gothenburg University. It will include talks on a number of topics
in the semantics and pragmatics of dialogues, including:
- the semantics and pragmatics of anaphora
- decision theory in pragmatics
- information state update
- dialogue games
- the semantics and pragmatics of questions
- spoken dialogue systems
- turn-taking and grounding in dialogue
as well as presentations by our four invited speakers:
Jens Allwood (Gothenburg)
Herbert Clark (Stanford)
Paul Dekker (Amsterdam)
Ronnie Smith (East Carolina)
Information about participation and registration, an online
registration form, and the preliminary program are available at
http://www.ling.gu.se/gotalog/
The workshop is endorsed by SIGDIAL, the Association for Computational
Linguistics (ACL) Special Interest Group (SIG) on Discourse and
Dialogue.
