Meeting Description:

Natural language understanding systems require a knowledge base provided with
formal representations reflecting the structure of human beings' cognitive
system. Although surface semantics can be sufficient in some other systems,
the construction of a robust knowledge base guarantees its use in most natural
language processing applications, thus consolidating the concept of resource
reuse. This conference deals with meaning and knowledge representation in the
context of natural language understanding from the perspective of theoretical
linguistics, computational linguistics, cognitive science, knowledge
engineering, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, text
analytics or linked data and semantic web technologies. Following the success
of previous editions, the 9th International Conference on Meaning and
Knowledge Representation will take place in Madrid (Spain), July 1, 2 and 3,
2020, organized by Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.


Call for Papers:

approaches.
2. Division of labour of lexical semantics and constructional semantics.
3. Role of metaphor and metonymy and other cognitive operations in meaning
construction and grammar.
4. Relationship between semantics, pragmatics and discourse in meaning
construction and/or meaning representation.
