Description:
Polysemous expressions have multiple closely related senses, and there
is a substantial amount of semantic and computational linguistic
research on polysemy found in different categories of expressions,
such as adjectives, nouns and verbs. However, the extent to which
there is interaction between researchers working on polysemy in
different categories of expressions is limited. This workshop will
focus on approaches to polysemy across different grammatical
categories so as to promote engagement between different strands of
polysemy research. The workshop will have talks by invited speakers,
and also contributed talks. We will welcome submissions on modelling
the meaning of polysemous expressions, via theoretical, experimental,
corpus-based, and computational methodologies.
Submission Information:
We welcome abstracts in the following format: a pdf file, two-pages
(plus references), at least 11pt font, A4 paper, 2.5cm margins. Please
submit abstracts via open review (link below). An Open Review account
is required for submission. Please be advised that the registration of
new accounts can take up to two weeks.
