Meeting Description:

A workshop on ambiguity in anaphora, which aims to create a dialogue between researchers who work on anaphoric ambiguity from a variety of perspectives, for instance theoretical, computational, and psycholinguistic. The workshop is held at ESSLLI 2006, the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information. 

Ambiguity in Anaphora: Final Call for Papers

   Deadline for receipt of five-page extended abstracts: 8 March 2006
   Address for submission: anaphora at essex.ac.uk

   http://cswww.essex.ac.uk/anaphora/

   The workshop is held as part of ESSLLI 2006, the Eighteenth European 
   Summer School in Logic, Language and Information, 7-11 August 2006, 
   Málaga, Spain.

Organizers

   Ron Artstein, Massimo Poesio (University of Essex)

Description

   We invite extended abstracts for 45-minute presentations (including
   discussion) relating to ambiguity in anaphora. Anaphoric expressions
   such as pronouns and definite descriptions can be ambiguous: they may
   relate to more than one antecedent, or (potentially) denote more than
   one referent. Such ambiguity poses challenges to the representation
   of anaphoric relations in grammar and discourse and to computational
   algorithms which resolve anaphoric reference, all of which should
   allow for representing ambiguity.

   The workshop aims to create a dialogue between researchers who work on anaphoric ambiguity from a variety of perspectives, such as:

     * Theoretical studies of the representation of ambiguous anaphoric
       relations in syntax and semantics;
     * Discourse models which represent referential ambiguity;
     * Computational studies on the annotation and resolution of
       anaphoric ambiguity;
     * Psychological studies on the interpretation of ambiguous anaphoric
       expressions;
     * Studies of anaphoric expressions and anaphora antecedents which
       are not noun phrases.

   We especially welcome studies that cross disciplinary boundaries and
   look at anaphoric ambiguity from multiple viewpoints.

Submission

   Deadline for receipt of extended abstracts: 8 March 2006
   Address for submission: anaphora at essex.ac.uk

   Extended abstracts should conform to the following guidelines.

     * Maximum five (5) pages, including data/tables/figures/references.
     * Anonymous; do not identify the author via self-reference.
     * First paragraph should be a brief summary of the entire work.
     * A4 or letter size paper, 12 point font, 2.5 cm / 1 inch margins.
     * PDF file format, with all fonts embedded.

   Submit your extended abstracts as email attachments. In the body
   of the message include the paper title and the authors' names and
   affiliations, as well as the email address for the corresponding
   author.

   Address for submission: anaphora at essex.ac.uk

Review

   Submissions will be reviewed by an international committee of
   theoretical linguists, computational linguists and psycholinguists.

       Chris Barker, University of California, San Diego
       Kees van Deemter, University of Aberdeen
       Paul Elbourne, Queen Mary, University of London

       Tony Sanford, University of Glasgow
       Patrick Sturt, University of Edinburgh
       Bonnie Webber, University of Edinburgh

   Selection will be strictly by quality, and there are no quotas based
   on discipline; we hope to get a mix of papers from a variety of
   viewpoints.

Proceedings

   Final versions of the accepted papers, slightly longer than the
   extended abstracts, will be distributed in a summer school reader.
   If there is sufficient interest among the contributors, we intend
   to approach a journal for publication as a special issue.

Workshop format

   The workshop is part of ESSLLI and attendance is open to all ESSLLI
   participants. It will consist of five sessions of 90 minutes each,
   held over five consecutive days in the second week of ESSLLI. Each
   session will consist of two 45-minute presentations (including time
   for questions and discussion).

Registration

   All workshop contributors will be required to register for ESSLLI
   2006. The registration fee for authors presenting a paper will
   correspond to the early student registration fee.

   A number of additional fee-waiver grants might be made available
   by the ESSLLI local organizing committee on a competitive basis
   and workshop participants are eligible to apply for those.

   There will be no reimbursement for travel costs or accommodation.
   Workshop speakers who have difficulty in finding funding should
   contact the ESSLLI local organizing committee to ask for the
   possibilities of a grant.

   8 March, 2006: Deadline for receipt of extended abstracts
   21 April, 2006: Notification of acceptance
   1 May, 2006: Final version due for the proceedings
