Meeting Description:

Aim of the Workshop:

The workshop is aimed at enhancing the linguistic dimension in the CL
spectrum, as well as at strengthening the focus on explanatory rather than
engineering aspects. 

The broader theme concerns the relations between GRAMMAR and LEXICON, but the
workshop is supposed to be specifically focused on burning issues from that
domain, such as:

- Linguistically oriented issues: valency, and some related special linguistic
phenomena such as diathesis; lexicon and morphology (incl. derivational
morphology and morphosyntactic features in lexicons and their relation to
semantics); lexicons and discourse (e.g. connectors, alternative connecting
means);
- Lexicon/Grammar interface: types of information in lexical entries;
linguistic vs. encyclopaedic information in the dictionary; syntax and
phraseology (microsyntax), the grammar of idioms;
- Computationally related issues: the role of lexicons in grammar formalisms;
lexicons and grammars vs. corpora and treebanks; annotation standards; valency
dictionaries;
- Semantically driven issues such as semantic representation and
lexically-supported inference;
- NLP oriented topics: use of lexicons, gazeteers and other man-made or
machine-learnt lexical resources in NLP applications; multiword expressions in
lexicons and grammars.

The workshop is intended as a lively forum touching upon issues that might be
of interest (and, possibly, an inspiration for application both in theory and
in practice) for a broader research community with different background:
linguistic, computational or natural language processing.

Call for Papers:

Important Dates:

September 25: Submission deadline
October 16: Author notification
October 30: Camera ready due by Authors
November 6: Proceedings due by Workshop Organizers to Workshop & Publication
Chairs
December 11: Workshop at COLING 2016

Paper Submission: 

Paper submissions for the GRAMM&LEX workshop will be handled by the START
system. Before submitting your paper, please ensure you have read the
instructions below and that your paper uses the prescribed style files. To
submit your work, please use the submission page at the following address: 

https://www.softconf.com/coling2016/GramLex. 

For GRAMM&LEX 2016, there will be one category of research papers only. All of
the papers will be included in workshop proceedings, in electronic form only.

The maximum submission length is 8 pages (A4), plus 2 pages of references.
Authors of accepted papers will be given additional space in the camera-ready
version to reflect space needed for changes stemming from reviewers comments.

Authors can indicate their preference for presentation mode (i.e. oral or
poster presentation) in the submission form, and the reviewers will recommend
an appropriate mode of presentation to the program committee which will then
decide. There will be no distinction in the proceedings between research
papers presented orally vs. as posters.

Papers shall be submitted in English, anonymized with regard to the authors
and/or their institution (no author-identifying information on the title page
nor anywhere in the paper), including referencing style as usual. Authors
should also ensure that identifying meta-information is removed from files
submitted for review. Reviewing of papers will be blind, and each paper will
be reviewed by three reviewers.

Papers must conform to official COLING 2016 style guidelines, which are
available in http://coling2016.anlp.jp/doc/coling2016.zip.
