Call for Papers

 =========================================================================
TheoreticAl and Computational MOrphology: New Trends and Synergies (TACMO)

Workshop to be held in conjunction with the
International Congress of Linguists, July 2013, Geneva (CH)
www.cil19.org

 =========================================================================

Nowadays, theoretical morphology witnesses a revival due to the
emergence of new formalization frameworks, both for inflectional and
lexical morphology: canonical morphology, approaches based on analogy,
rule-based approaches, to name just a few. All these approaches can
potentially shed new light on computational processing of morphology,
either for parsing or generation. In parallel, new computational
techniques (such as (un-)supervised morphological acquisition) and
formal frameworks bring a fresh look on morphological phenomena. Both
domains tackle more or less implicitly the organization of the lexicon
in general. The TACMO workshop aims at gathering these two facets of
morphology - computational and theoretical formalization - in order to
foster interactions and to highlight how both approaches benefit from
each other.

We mainly expect (but not exclusively) communication proposals on the
following topics:

- Inflectional, derivational and compositional morphology.
- Problems raised by non affixal processes (templatic morphology,
  reduction and truncation, reduplication, blending and conversion)
- Semantics-morphology interface and its role in the organization of the
  lexicon.
- Syntax-morphology interface and its role in NLP systems.
- Conception of lexical resources enriched with morphological
  information.

Talk proposals should especially focus on the innovative aspects of the
formalization and/or its benefits for automation. For computational
approaches, the focus should be put on the new perspective that the
implementation can bring on morphological descriptions.

SUBMISSIONS:
Authors should submit an anonymous extended abstract (3-4 pages) in
English, containing the title of the talk, keywords and
references. Abstract should be written in usual font (typically Times
12pt) and submitted in pdf format through EasyChair at the following
address :

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tacmo2012

All abstracts will be blind reviewed by two members of the Scientific
Committee.  A book of abstract will be distributed at the workshop.


IMPORTANT DATE:
- July 15 2012: Deadline for abstract submission
- October 2012: Notification to Authors
- July 22-27 2013: Workshop

ORGANIZERS:
- Bruno Cartoni (University of Geneva)
- Delphine Bernhard (University of Strasbourg)
- Delphine Tribout (University of Paris VII)
