CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on
Emprical Challenges and Analytic Alternatives
to Strict Compositionality
URL: http://www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/~fr/esslli/05/
August 8-12, 2005
organized as part of
European Summer School on Logic, Language and Information
ESSLLI 2005 http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/esslli05/
8-19 August, 2005 in Edinburgh
Workshop Purpose:
Compositionality has been a key methodological theme in natural language
semantics. Recently, a number of innovative systems for combinatorial
semantics have been proposed which seem not to obey compositionality at
first sight. Such systems are based on unification, underspecification,
linear logic or categorial grammar, to name the most prominent research
areas. The motivation behind these systems is often computational, but the
mechanisms they employ also provide new insights and analytical alternatives
for outstanding problems in the combinatorial semantics of natural
languages. These include scope ambiguities, multiple exponents of semantic
operators, cohesion, ellipsis, coordination, and modifier attachment
ambiguities.
The workshop aims to provide a forum for advanced PhD students and
researchers whose interests lie in empirical issues or logic. It will give
them the opportunity to present and discuss their work with colleagues and
researchers who work in the broad subject areas represented at ESSLLI. We
wish to invite papers discussing linguistic data which pose a challenge to
compositionality as well as papers presenting new mechanisms for defining a
compositional semantics which can address well-known challenges in
innovative ways.
Workshop Topics:
Topics for submission may include but are not limited to:
* presentations of certain empirical phenomena which seem to challenge
strict compositionality. Empirical papers should point out precisely why the
discussed phenomenon poses analytical problems.
* presentations of semantic formalisms. This type of presentation should
stress the potential usefulness of the proposal for the analysis of empirical
challenges. * papers which combine the empirical and formal aspects
directly.
Submission Details:
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract for a 30-minute
presentation (followed by 15 minutes of discussion).
Submissions should
* not exceed 8 (eight) pages, including all figures and references. * be
in pdf (preferred), ps or ASCII.
* be sent electronically to manfred.sailer at phil.uni-goettingen.de by
March 9, 2005 (see the deadlines listed below).
* be anonymous and, therefore, accompanied by a separate information
sheet containing: author name(s), affiliation(s), e-mail and postal
address(es), and the title of the paper.
The submissions will be reviewed anonymously by the workshop's programme
committee and additional reviewers. The accepted papers will appear in the
workshop proceedings published by ESSLLI. The final versions will be 15
pages, in pdf format. Details will be specified on the workshop homepage
(http://www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/~fr/esslli/05/).
Workshop Format:
The workshop is part of ESSLLI and is open to all ESSLLI participants. It
will consist of five 90-minute sessions held over five sonsecutive days in
the first week of ESSLLI. There will be 2 slots for paper presentation and
discussion per session. On the first day the workshop organizers will give
an introduction to the topic.
Invited Speakers:
N.N.

Local Arrangements:
All workshop participants including the presenters will be required to
register for ESSLLI. The registration fee for authors presenting a paper
will correspond to the early student/workshop speaker registration fee.
Moreover, a number of additional fee waiver grants will be made available by
the Organization Committee on a competitive basis and workshop participants
are eligible to apply for those.
There will be no reimbursement for travel costs and accommodation. Workshop
speakers who have difficulty in finding funding should contact the local
organizing committee to ask for the possibilities for a grant.
