Meeting Description:

2nd International Conference on Dependency Linguistics (DepLing 2013)
http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/project/depling13/

DepLing 2013 will be held at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic on August 27-30, 2013. The conference is organized by the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics.

DepLing 2013 is the second conference in the DepLing series (the first was held in Barcelona, Spain in 2011). The series responds to the growing need for linguistic meetings dedicated to syntactic, semantic and lexicographic approaches that are centered around dependency as a central notion.

People:

DepLing 2013 is organized by the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. The local committee of the conference is chaired by Eva Hajicova (Charles University in Prague). The scientific committee is chaired by Kim Gerdes (Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris), Leo Wanner (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) and Eva Hajicova.

Invited Speakers:

Aravind Joshi (IRCS and CIS, Philadelphia)
Richard Hudson (UCL, London)

Location of the Conference:

Faculty of Mathematics and Physics
Charles University in Prague
Malostranske nam. 25
118 00 Prague 1
Czech Republic

Related Event:

The conference DepLing 2013 is followed by the international workshop on Meaning-Text Theory (MTT), (August 30-31).

Acknowledgments:

DepLing 2013 is supported by The Vilem Mathesius Center and the LINDAT/CLARIN project.

Call for Papers:

Topics include, but are not limited to:

- The use of dependency trees in syntactic analysis, description, formalization, parsing, generation, and corpus annotation of written and spoken texts.
- The use of semantic valency-based predicate and actancy graph structures and their link to classical logic.
- The elaboration of formal dictionaries for dependency-based syntax and semantics, including descriptions of collocations and paradigmatic relations.
- Links to morphology and linearization of dependency structures, using for example topological field theories.
- Dependency-like structures beyond the sentence as annotation scheme for discourse phenomena.
- The description and formalization of semantic and pragmatic phenomena related to information structure.
- History, epistemology, and psycholinguistic relevance of dependency grammar, including its relation to generative approaches to language.

We are also interested in work on issues such as:

- What are the differences and similarities between theta roles, valencies, f-structures, TAG derivation trees, (subcategorization) frames, semantic role labelling, etc?
- Which corpus annotations using head-daughter relations on words are formally and linguistically equivalent, which are not?
- How to describe syntax-semantic interfaces between dependency structures?
