THE SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON TREEBANKS AND LINGUISTIC THEORIES

January 23-24, 2009
Groningen, The Netherlands
http://www.let.rug.nl/tlt


SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------------------
The Seventh International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories
will be held on January 23 to 24, 2009 in Groningen, the
Netherlands. Submissions are invited for papers, posters and demonstrations
presenting high quality, previously unpublished research in the topics
described below. Contributions should focus on results from completed as
well as ongoing research, with an emphasis on novel approaches, methods,
ideas, and perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or
computational. Papers and poster abstracts will be published in paper as
well as online proceedings.


WORKSHOP MOTIVATION AND AIMS
-----------------------------------------------------------
Treebanks are language resources that include annotations at levels of
linguistic structure beyond the word level. They typically provide
syntactic constituent or dependency structures for sentences and sometimes
functional and predicate-argument structures. Treebanks have become
crucially important for the development of data-driven approaches to
natural language processing, human language technologies, grammar
extraction and linguistic research in general. There are a number of
ongoing projects aiming at compiling representative treebanks for specific
languages. In addition, there are projects that develop tools or explore
annotation beyond syntactic structure and beyond a single language.

Experiences in building syntactically processed corpora have shown that
there is a relation between formal linguistic theory and the practice of
syntactic annotation. Therefore the connection between treebank development
and linguistic theories and paradigms merits attention.

This series of workshops aims at being a forum for researchers and advanced
students working in these areas. We encourage interested potential
participants to read the proceedings of the previous workshops (see the web
page for links).


WORKSHOP TOPICS
--------------------------------
The workshop invites submissions that discuss relevant innovative work in
treebanking, including the relations and links between, and possibly
merging of, various aspects of morphological, syntactic, semantic, and
pragmatic annotation; furthermore, submissions describing work on parallel
treebanks and/or cross-language annotation schemes, on the relation between
linguistic theory and the practice of annotation, and on applications of
information in treebanks are encouraged as well.
