Subject: Linguistic Theory and Grammar Implementation Workshop
ESSLLI'2000 Workshop on
LINGUISTIC THEORY AND GRAMMAR IMPLEMENTATION
August 14 - 18, 2000
A workshop held as part of the
Twelfth European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
ESSLLI-2000
August 6-18, 2000, Birmingham, Great Britain
** Second Call For Papers **
-- Note the EXTENDED DEADLINE (15. April) and FUNDING INFORMATION --
ORGANIZERS: Erhard Hinrichs, Detmar Meurers (Universitaet Tuebingen)
Shuly Wintner (University of Pennsylvania)
DESCRIPTION:
Partially in response to data-oriented methods, grammar-based
approaches to Natural Language Processing in recent years have made
significant advances in terms of linguistic coverage, wealth of
analysis, efficiency of processing and grammar engineering
techniques. The workshop is intended as a forum for this ongoing work
in declarative, constraint- and resource-based approaches, informed by
linguistic theory. It will cover various aspects of the computational
implementation of grammars based on linguistic knowledge, and in
particular address:
- grammar coverage as a major emphasis in practical projects
- efficiency of processing (e.g., grammar compilation techniques,
abstract machine implementations)
- implementations of novel grammar architectures and mechanisms
(e.g., glue languages, defaults, optimality-theoretic constraint
ranking, underspecification)
- hybrid architectures combining shallow parsing and deep analysis
(e.g., finite state pre-processors for deep analysis)
- grammar development tools (e.g., test methodology, profiling,
visualization tools, grammar debugging and validation)
- modularity in grammar design (e.g., definition of modules in
grammars, separate and incremental compilation of grammars,
architectures for grammar organization)
- mathematical, logical and computational aspects of linguistic
formalisms (e.g., semantics of linguistic formalisms, adaptation of
techniques from programming languages to linguistic formalisms)
SUBMISSION:
All researchers in the area, but especially Ph.D. students and young
researchers, are invited to submit a paper. Electronic submissions are
highly encouraged (preferably as plain ASCII or Postscript).
Submissions should not exceed 10 (A4 or letter) pages, typeset in
10-12 points, with at least 2.5 cm / 1 inch margins. Submitted papers
should be anonymous and be accompanied by an e-mail listing the
following details:
- Title
- Authors' names and affiliation
- Address
- E-mail addresses
All submissions will be reviewed by an international program committee:

Jo Calder
Ann Copestake
Nissim Francez
Erhard Hinrichs
Suresh Manandhar
Detmar Meurers, co-chair
Stefan Mueller
Tsuneko Nakazawa
Louisa Sadler
Shuly Wintner, co-chair
The accepted papers will be made available in a summer school reader.
If sufficiently many high-quality papers are submitted, we intend to
publish them in an edited volume.
Submissions should be sent before April 15, 2000 to one of the following
two organizers:

****** Evolution of Language Conference ******
***********************************************
Paris, 3-6 April
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
This is the third conference in a series concerned with the
evolutionary emergence of speech. From a wide range of disciplines, we
seek to attract researchers willing to integrate their perspectives
with those of modern Darwinism.
The aim is to bring together linguists, computer scientists,
anthropologists, palaeontologists, ethologists, geneticists,
neuroscientists, and other scientists who are concerned with the
question of the origin and evolution of language.
All useful information (scientific programme, registration
information) can be found at the following address:

Wagonlit Evenements, 16, Rue Ballu - 75009 Paris, France
We invite you to consider sending your registration before March 15 to
benefit from reduced rates (155 Euros, instead of 230 Euros after this
date). The number of available places is limited, and priority will
be given to early registrations.
