 =========================================================================
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.
