 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 presenting high quality, previously unpublished research in the topics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.
