by Tiedemann, Jörg 06 Jun '25

06 Jun '25

This is the second call for participation on the 18th MT Marathon that will take place in Helsinki on August 25-29, 2025. The eighteenth edition of the MT Marathon will be organized by the Language Technology Research group at the University of Helsinki, Finland, with sponsorship of EAMT<https://eamt.org/> and HPLT<https://hplt-project.org/>. Each Machine Translation Marathon is a week-long gathering of machine translation researchers, developers, students, and users featuring: - MT Lectures and Labs covering the basics and tutorials. - Keynote Talks from experienced researchers and practitioners. - Presentations of research and open-source tools related to MT. - Hacking Projects to advance tools or research in one week or start new collaborations. Details can be found on the event page: https://blogs.helsinki.fi/language-technology/mt-marathon-2025/ ** Registration ** The registration is free of charge for EAMT members. To register, use the following link: https://forms.gle/uvrZuWpeSbcmJozK7. The registration form will remain open until the start of the event or the space we can accommodate is filled. ** Call for Abstract Submissions ** The MT Marathon will again host an open session with poster presentations related to MT/NLP research and open-source tools. We invite students, developers and researchers to submit short abstracts (1 page) featuring previously published results, open-source tool demos, and work in progress. Abstracts are lightly reviewed for topical scope, and all relevant submissions will be accepted for presentation. Deadline: June 15 ** Call for project proposals ** As always, project topics will get finalized on the first day of the Marathon, but it was found useful in the past to announce and refine project proposals earlier. If you have an idea what you'd like to implement in a small team of fellow participants, or if you just want to peek at what is going to be proposed, have a look or edit the live document linked here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A4Iy_iOVvYHKAwnSV2ZGIPru7t-jeMauCQd6i9G… . ** Programme ** The event will include a poster session, labs, and lessons from experts in the field, including: * Ayodele Awokoya, McPherson University, University of Ibadan, Masakhane * Wilker Aziz, University of Amsterdam * Marta R. Costa-jussà, Meta AI * Barry Haddow, University of Edinburgh * Sara Papi, FBK Trento * Amit Moryossef, ETH, Bar-Ilan University, sign.mt * Juan Antonio Pérez, University of Alacant * Gema Ramírez-Sánchez, Prompsit * Marco Turchi, Zoom * Jörg Tiedemann, University of Helsinki The programme is still under construction.

CfP: DGFS-AG Intensivierung/Intensification
by Brunner 04 Jun '25

04 Jun '25

<english version below> Call for Abstracts für die AG "m e e e e e e g a g e i l e Muster von InTeNsIvIeRuNG!!11elf 😎🤩" im Rahmen der *DGFS 2026, 24.-27.02.2026 in Trier* https://www.uni-trier.de/universitaet/fachbereiche-faecher/fachbereich-ii/f… Deadline: *1. August 2025* Die AG widmet sich der formalen und funktionalen Vielfalt von Intensivierung, z.B. welche Strategien und Konstruktionen in sprachlichen Ausdrücken verwendet werden, in welchen Kontexten sie auftreten und welche semiotischen Elemente intensivierbar sind. Das Spektrum umfasst nicht nur lexikogrammatische, sondern auch darüberhinausgehende Phänomene auf allen kommunikativen Ebenen, z.B. typographische und lautliche Mittel oder Gestik und Mimik, als Formen der Intensivierung (Napoli/Ravetto 2017). Ein besonderes Augenmerk gilt der Musterhaftigkeit und Kreativität von Intensivierungsstrategien. Während sich bestimmte Verfahren als konventionalisierte Muster beschreiben lassen, sind andere höchst variabel, für Innovationen anfällig und kombinierbar (Cotgrove 2025). Dies wirft theoretische und empirische Fragen nach dem Verhältnis von Konvention und Variation auf: In welchem Maße folgen Intensivierungen wiederkehrenden Form-Funktions-Mustern (Politt/Willich 2024)? Welche Formen der Variation (sozial, stilistisch, medial) lassen sich beobachten, und wie sind diese zu beschreiben? Wir freuen uns auf einen Austausch zu einem Phänomen, das an der Schnittstelle von Lexik, Phonetik/Phonologie, Grammatik, Pragmatik und Semantik liegt. Willkommen sind aktuelle Arbeiten, die sich mit empirischen Untersuchungen zu spezifischen Intensivierungsstrategien befassen sowie mit der Rolle von Intensivierung in unterschiedlichen Diskursen, Genres, Modalitäten oder Varietäten. Ebenfalls von Interesse sind Arbeiten, die sich mit der Frage auseinandersetzen, wie sich von der empirischen Analyse ausgehend theoretische Modelle sprachlicher Intensivierung entwickeln lassen – und umgekehrt, wie theoretische Konzepte die empirische Analyse leiten können. Abstracts in englischer oder deutscher Sprache von höchstens einer Seite Länge (DIN A4, 12pt, 1,5-zeilig) können bis zum 01.08.2025 als nicht anonymisierte PDF-Datei an cotgrove(a)ids-mannheim.de gesendet werden. *Organisationsteam*: Annelen Brunner (IDS Mannheim), Louis Cotgrove (IDS Mannheim), Katja Politt (Universität Bielefeld, SFB 1646), Alexander Willich (HHU Düsseldorf) *Literaturverzeichnis* Cotgrove, L.

August 2025* The workshop focuses on the formal and functional diversity of intensification, e.g. which strategies and constructions are used in linguistic expressions, in which contexts do they occur, as well as which semiotic elements can be intensified. Intensification is far more diverse than just lexicogrammatical phenomena, with phenomena occurring on on all communicative levels, for example, typographical and phonetic strategies, gestures or facial expressions (Napoli/Ravetto 2017). Particularly of interest for the workshop is the apparent dialectic between recurring patterns and innovation within intensification strategies. While certain processes can be described as conventionalised patterns, others can be highly creative and combined with one another (Cotgrove 2025). This raises theoretical and empirical questions about the relationship between convention and variation: To what extent do intensifications follow recurring form-function patterns (Politt/Willich 2024)? What forms of variation (social, stylistic, medial) can be observed and how can these be described? We look forward to discussion on a phenomenon that lies at the crossroads of lexis, phonetics/phonology, grammar, pragmatics and semantics. We welcome recent work that deals with empirical studies on specific intensification strategies and the role of intensification in different discourses, genres, modalities or varieties. Papers that address how theoretical models of linguistic intensification can be developed on the basis of empirical analysis and conversely, how theoretical concepts can guide empirical analysis, are also welcomed. Abstracts should be in German or English and should not exceed a single A4 page (12pt, 1.5 line spacing). Please submit the abstract as a PDF (anonymisation not necessary) by *1st August 2025*to cotgrove(a)ids-mannheim.de. *Organisation*: Annelen Brunner (IDS Mannheim), Louis Cotgrove (IDS Mannheim), Katja Politt (Universität Bielefeld, SFB 1646), Alexander Willich (HHU Düsseldorf) *References:* Cotgrove, L.
