Meeting Description:

The Meaning-Text Theory is a holistic linguistic theory characterized in particular by the central position of the lexicon, the primacy of semantics, the importance of the communicative  (= information) structure, and the reliance on dependencies on all levels. MTT has been extensively developed over the last four decades with respect to its coverage of linguistic phenomena and application in a variety of research fields - in particular, natural language processing.

After MTT '03 in Paris, MTT '05 in Moscow, MTT '07 in Klagenfurt and MTT '09 in Montreal, this conference is the fifth in a series that aims at bringing together researchers working on MTT and related frameworks and their implementation in the framework of different natural language processing applications. The conference will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Dependency Linguistics (http://www.depling.org/) to take place immediately before MTT '11.

Invited Speakers:

Ignacio Bosque, Complutense University of Madrid and Royal Spanish Academy
Leonid Iomdin, Russian Academy of Sciences
