TOPICS OF INTEREST
The workshop will focus on the computational aspects of formal semantic
theories and on theoretical issues involved in the development of
natural language processing systems. Papers are sought in areas which
include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
* underspecified semantic representations: definition and use
* use of context in interpretation
* the semantics - pragmatics interface
* dynamic interpretation in text and dialogue
* incremental interpretation
* language and visual information
* speech acts and interpretation
* information packaging
* computational lexical semantics
* context modelling
* interpretation and inference

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission of preliminary papers 15 September, 1996
Notification of acceptance 30 October, 1996
Final papers due 15 November, 1996
Workshop 8 - 10 January, 1997
GUIDELINES FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Papers should be submitted by email in Postscript form. Accepted papers
will be published in the proceedings, which will be available at the time
of the conference; we also aim at publishing a selection of the accepted
papers in book form. All papers should contain:
- a list of approximately 5 keywords
- an abstract
- a conclusion section
The title page of each paper should contain the names, addresses, phone
and fax numbers, and email addresses of all authors.
For the production of the proceedings, final versions of accepted papers
will have to be submitted in LaTeX form; it is therefore advisable to use
LaTeX from the start. Please use the following LaTeX format as the basis
for producing the Postscript file:
\documentstyle[11pt,a4,epsf]{article}
\setlength{\textwidth}{15cm}
Please refer to bibliographical items using author names and year of
publication, rather than by numbers, and sort the bibliography
alphabetically.
