Call Deadline: 24-May-2019 

Meeting Description:

The Second International Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational
Morphology (DeriMo 2019) will be held in Prague, Czech Republic, on September
19 and 20, 2019, at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles
University.

The Prague edition of the workshop aims to continue and push forward the
discussion on language resources and tools for derivational morphology (and,
more generally, for word formation) and on their usage in linguistics, and to
bring it closer to linguistic research into word formation. 

Call for Papers:

The Prague edition of the workshop will continue and push forward the
discussion on language resources and tools for derivational morphology (and,
more generally, on word formation) as started at the first DeriMo workshop,
which took place in Milan, Italy, in October 2017.

DeriMo 2019 will provide an international platform for presentation of new
developments in existing word-formation resources and for introduction of
recently created ones. A debate is expected on all aspects of creation of
these resources, from technical solutions to linguistic decisions on which
word-formation processes and how they are modelled in the resource. DeriMo
2019 wants to cover modern as well as ancient languages and welcomes
approaches with a potentially multi-lingual focus. Availability of appropriate
tools is considered essential not only for the resource development but also
for potential use of word-formation data in both Natural Language Processing
and linguistic descriptions. Presentations of any type of linguistic research
into word formation are expected to contribute to a discussion on usage and
usability of available resources and tools. Linguistic insights into the
phenomena that are modelled in the word-formation resources may indicate
directions of future research, whether with language-specific, cross-lingual,
multi-lingual, or typological perspectives.

Topics:

The topics to be addressed in the workshop include (but are not limited to)
the following:

- language resources for word-formation either of individual languages, or
with a multi-lingual focus,
- representation of word-formation processes in the resources (models based on
base-derivative pairs, paradigmatic models, or other representations),
- enhancement of word-formation resources with other features (e.g. semantic
categories in affixation, classification of compounds),
- linking word-formation resources with other types of annotation (e.g.  
syntactic, semantic),
- application of (semi)automatic methods in modelling word formation, - tools
for creating, searching etc. of word-formation resources, 
- data-based linguistic research in any aspect of word-formation (of
individual languages, with contrastive or comparative focus, diachronic
perspectives etc.),
- theoretical accounts of word-formation issues.

Invited Speakers:

- Prof. Lívia Körtvélyessy (Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice,
Slovakia)
- Prof. Fiammetta Namer (Université de Lorraine, France)

Important Dates:

- Deadline for paper submission: 24 May 2019
- Notification of acceptance: 30 June 2019
- Registration open: 1 July 2019
- Final papers due (camera-ready): 15 August 2019
- Early registration closed: 22 August 2019
- The workshop: 19-20 September 2019

Instructions for Submission:

We invite to submit long abstracts describing original, unpublished research
related to the topics of the workshop. Abstracts should not exceed 5 pages
(references included).  The authors of the accepted abstracts will be required
to submit the full version of their paper, which may be extended up to 10
pages (references included).
