REMINDER: LFG f-structure comparison meeting online Tue 21 Nov at 9am UTC (9am UK/Ireland)
by Elaine Ui Dhonnchadha 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

Dear all, This is a reminder of the LFG f-structure comparison meeting that will be held online on Tue 21 Nov 2023 9am - 10am UTC. >From Beginners to Experts, all are Welcome! We look forward to seeing you there. - Mary, Lawrence and Elaine Zoom Link: https://tcd-ie.zoom.us/j/93770084827?pwd=OEpZampzanZMS2VXMDNkcEJyTU9WZz09 Meeting ID: 937 7008 4827 Passcode: 111795 Please refer to the message below for the details. Thank you! --------------------------------------- As we announced in an earlier message, Chit-Fung Lam (Lawrence), Elaine Ui Dhonnchadha, and I are planning to revive the f-structure comparison sessions that were held in the regular meetings of the ParGram consortium ( https://pargram.w.uib.no/). These meetings will be held on-line, and anyone who is developing a grammar using the XLE grammar development platform (https://ling.sprachwiss.uni-konstanz.de/pages/xle/) is welcome to attend. We would also welcome participation by anyone using the Grammar Writer's Workbench ( https://parc-public.pages-external.parc.com/xle/isl/groups/nltt/medley/). In these meetings, we will discuss and compare f-structures for a parallel set of translationally equivalent sentences. We will use the Pargram treebank sentences as a starting point. The Pargram treebank is available at the following link (scroll to the end of the page): https://clarino.uib.no/iness/treebanks?collection=ParGram&reset-all=true We will discuss the f-structures for the following sentences (we may not have time for a discussion of all of them -- it is fine to attend the meeting even if your grammar does not parse all of these): The driver starts the tractor. The tractor is red. What did the farmer see? Did the farmer sell his tractor? Push the button. All participants will translate these sentences into the language they are working on, and produce and print out the f-structures to PDF. There is no need to print out c-structures. We have created a Google Drive directory for the f-structures, which currently contains f-structures for English, Irish, Polish and Mandarin. In advance of the meeting, meeting participants should plan to deposit their f-structures there for as many of the sentences as you can parse. Please contact one of us if you would like to have access to this repository. Please try to model your f-structures on the analyses in the treebank to the extent possible. In the Pargram consortium, the idea is that differences in f-structures for translational equivalents should reflect syntactic differences between the languages -- there should be no arbitrary differences to do with spelling of feature names or other linguistically irrelevant details. If you have any questions, or if you would like to be added to the list of people with access to the f-structure repository, please send email to one of us. We are looking forward to discussing your f-structures! - Mary, Lawrence and Elaine

Phraseology and Multiword Expressions: call for volume proposals
by Victoria Rosén 03 Mar '24

03 Mar '24

Phraseology and Multiword Expressions<https://langsci-press.org/catalog/series/pmwe> (PMWE) is a book series at Language Science Press, a born-digital scholar-led open access publisher in linguistics. The series publishes high quality books about conventionalized, idiosyncratic combinations of words. Within the field of phraseology such word combinations are sometimes called phrasemes, while the computational linguistics community uses the term multiword expressions for them. Various subtypes of such word combinations are of interest, such as multiword compounds, multiword terms, multiword named entities, light verb constructions, phrasal verbs, idioms, collocations, formulaic speech, proverbs, etc. The series is open to different approaches so as to create a forum for an interdisciplinary and cross-framework exchange of research results, including but not limited to the following subdisciplines: * Computational linguistics and natural language processing * Computer science * Corpus linguistics * Lexicography * Psycholinguistics * Theoretical linguistics We welcome volume proposals addressing all topics related to theoretical, computational, and empirical approaches to phraseology including: * Linguistic properties and typologies of multiword expressions, especially in multilingual frameworks * Electronic lexical resources including multiword expressions * Formal grammatical description of multiword expressions * Parsing technologies including multiword expressions * Identification and annotation of multiword expressions in corpora and treebanks * Multiword expressions in machine translation and other multilingual applications All contributions are welcome in English.
