Topics of interest:
We are particularly interested in submissions that address the topics below,
by leveraging the role of discourse and/or other contextual information. We
believe there are novel and interesting approaches that can be developed over
the next few years.

- Lexical semantic resources, corpora and annotations of semantic and
pragmatic phenomena in social media
- The role of extra-linguistic information in improving content-based social
media applications
- Figurative language detection (metaphor, irony, sarcasm)
- Discourse processing and argumentation mining of social media texts.
- Pragmatic phenomena in computational social linguistics
- Intention detection (e.g., intention to purchase a product, or vote for a
particular candidate, but also other behaviours such as suicide)
- Detection of offensive and abusive language
- Fake news detection. Tracking rumours
We also welcome contributions and comparisons on already studied topics like
the following, but submissions need to highlight the role of discourse and/or
other contextual phenomena
- Social structure and position analysis using microblog content
- Sentiment/opinion retrieval, extraction and classification
- Tracking and summarization of opinion
- Emotion detection
