Call for papers

The GDR Sémantique et Modélisation (CNRS) and the Ecole Normale Supérieure Lettres et Sciences Humaines (ENS--LSH) jointly organize the second edition of Semantics and Modeling (JSM04).

The conference will be held in Lyon (France) on the site of the ENS-LSH on 25 and 26 March 2004. The general goal of the conference is to promote research on the representation of linguistic meaning and interpretation with the help of formal models. In view of the development of corpus-based research in semantics and related fields, proposals articulating the use of corpora and representational problems in semantics and pragmatics are particularly welcome.

TOPICS

We invite abstracts that address any problem in the modeling of linguistic meaning and interpretation. This includes but is not limited to the following topics:

• syntax--semantics interface,
• tense and aspect,
• lexical meaning,
• functional words (determiners, pronouns, etc.),
• information structure,
• presuppositions and implicatures,
• speech acts,
• discourse relations in text and dialogue,

Corpus-based research contributing to shed light on these and similar topics will be favorably considered.

SUBMISSION CONDITIONS

Abstracts must be anonymous. They should be 2--pages long including references, examples and figures. They should have a 1 inch margin on all four sides and use at least a 12-pt font.

Files may be in plain text, PDF, RTF or MS Word. Names and affiliations should be indicated in the body of the message. Proposals should be sent at jsm04@ens-lsh.fr no later than 5 January 2004.
