Call for submissions: Workshop on Individual Differences in Pragmatics and Discourse (IndiPRAG)
by Jia Loy 18 Jan '23

18 Jan '23

[With apologies for cross-posting] We are pleased to announce that submissions for the Workshop on Individual Differences in Pragmatics and Discourse (IndiPRAG) are now open. Submission deadline: 1st May 2023 Notification date: 5th June 2023 Workshop dates: 18th September (all day) and 19th September (morning) 2023 Workshop venue: Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany (the workshop is collocated with XPRAG in Paris, 20th-23rd September) ** Call for submissions: Experimental research in pragmatics and discourse processing has consistently found that not all comprehenders behave the same: while some seem to draw rich pragmatic inferences, others respond in a way that is more consistent with a literal interpretation (Fairchild & Papafragou, 2021; Mayn & Demberg, 2022). Similarly for discourse inference, experiments have found differences with respect to the sensitivity to discourse cues and the readiness for discourse predictions between participants (Scholman, Demberg & Sanders, 2020; Tskhovrebova, Zufferey & Gygax, 2022). This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in exploring individual differences at the level of pragmatics and discourse, as well as methods for relating those differences to cognitive properties, and approaches for modelling the mechanism driving the individual differences effects. IndiPRAG Workshop invites submissions of abstracts addressing the following questions: - To what extent do pragmatic processing and discourse inferences differ between individuals? - How consistent are interpretation biases across different types of pragmatic implicatures? - What individual difference measures are particularly suitable for measuring IDs related to pragmatic processing? - How can we computationally model individual differences in discourse and pragmatics? - What statistical methods are best suited to identifying latent groups of participants and relating ID measures to task performance? ** Formatting guidelines: The abstracts must not exceed 1000 words for the text (excl. captions), 10000 characters for references, 2 figures. Abstracts should be submitted in PDF format, with 2.54 cm margins on all sides and 12 point font size, single-spaced. Please indicate up to three appropriate keywords for your abstract, which will be used for session planning. Abstracts must be written in English and should include a title but no information revealing the author(s). Submissions should be handed in via easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=indiprag2023 ** We will have invited talks by: Kirsten Abbot-Smith, University of Kent Morton Christiansen, Cornell University Craig Hedge, Aston University Petra Hendriks, University of Groningen Antje Meyer & Florian Hintz, MPI for Psycholinguistics Nijmegen ** IndiPRAG is being organised by: Vera Demberg, Jia Loy, Alexandra Mayn, Dongqi Pu, Margarita Ryzhova, Merel Scholman, Sebastian Schuster You can contact us at: indiprag(a)lst.uni-saarland.de

Bilingual Writers and Corpus Analysis
by David Palfreyman 18 Jan '23

18 Jan '23

Dear all, Just published by Routledge: "Bilingual Writers and Corpus Analysis<https://www.routledge.com/Bilingual-Writers-and-Corpus-Analysis/Palfreyman-…>" (Palfreyman & Habash, 2022) presents issues and specific findings in the recently developing field of bilingual writer corpora. The book discusses in depth one of the first examples of a bilingual writer corpus: the Zayed Arabic-English Bilingual Undergraduate Corpus (http://www.zaebuc.org<http://www.zaebuc.org/>), which includes writing by hundreds of students in both their languages, with additional information about individual writers and texts. The book takes the reader through the design and use of such a corpus, and illustrates the potential of this type of corpus with detailed studies, showing how assessment, vocabulary, and discourse work across two very different languages. Specific research questions addressed in this book include: 1. How can we compare writers' proficiency between their L1 and L2, especially when the two languages are typologically very different? 2. Does the writing of male and female bilingual writers differ semantically (in each of their languages)? 3. How can a writer's range of vocabulary be measured across her languages, and how are such measurements related to other measures of linguistic proficiency? 4. How does writers' collocational competence differ between their languages? 5. How does writers' educational background (EMI or non-EMI) relate to their use of metadiscursive expressions in their two languages? 6. Do writers deploy similar metaphors when writing about the same topic in their L1 and in their L2? 7. How could bilingual writer corpora be used to further research on second language acquisition? https://www.routledge.com/Bilingual-Writers-and-Corpus-Analysis/Palfreyman-… <http://www.zu.ac.ae> [cid:ZU_198aa1f1-1bdd-4bb9-af2e-c61bdd92f8ae.gif] David Palfreyman Assistant Chair College of Humanities and Social Sciences ديفيد بالفريمان الرئيس المساعد كلية العلوم الإنسانية والإجتماعية [cid:NBLogoEmail_71bc8110-a145-41cd-abb5-5375f9a19c23.gif] P.O.

CfP: 5th Workshop on Research in Computational Linguistic Typology and Multilingual NLP (SIGTYP @EACL)
by Beinborn, L.M. (Lisa) 17 Jan '23

17 Jan '23

We are inviting your submissions to the 5th Workshop on Research in Computational Linguistic Typology and Multilingual NLP (SIGTYP 2023) which will be held at EACL 2023 (May 2 or 6, 2023 Dubrovnik, Croatia). The submission deadline is February 13. For more information, see details below or refer to: https://sigtyp.github.io/workshop.html. This year’s edition will include a shared task on “Cognate and Derivative Detection for Low-Resourced Languages", more details about the shared task can be found here: https://github.com/sigtyp/ST2023. We are looking forward to your contributions. Best regards, Lisa Beinborn (on behalf of the SIGTYP organization committee) Workshop description The aim of the 5th edition of SIGTYP workshop is to act as a platform and a forum for the exchange of information between typology-related research, multilingual NLP, and other research areas that can lead to the development of truly multilingual NLP methods. The workshop is specifically aimed at raising awareness of linguistic typology and its potential in supporting and widening the global reach of multilingual NLP, as well as at introducing computational approaches to linguistic typology. It will foster research and discussion on open problems, not only within the active community working on cross- and multilingual NLP but also by inviting input from leading researchers in linguistic typology. In 2023, we would like to continue following this direction of research with a special focus on bringing technology to foster documentation of under-described languages. SIGTYP is the first dedicated venue for typology-related research and its integration into multilingual NLP. Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to) the following as they relate to the areas of the workshop: : * Integration of typological features in language transfer and joint multilingual learning. In addition to established techniques such as “selective sharing”, are there alternative ways to encode heterogeneous external knowledge in machine learning algorithms? * Development of unified taxonomy and resources. Building universal databases and models to facilitate understanding and processing of diverse languages. * Automatic inference of typological features. The pros and cons of existing techniques (e.g. heuristics derived from morphosyntactic annotation, propagation from features of other languages, supervised Bayesian and neural models) and discussion on emerging ones. * Typology and interpretability. The use of typological knowledge for interpretation of hidden representations of multilingual neural models, multilingual data generation and selection, and typological annotation of texts. * Improvement and completion of typological databases. Combining linguistic knowledge and automatic data-driven methods towards the joint goal of improving the knowledge on cross-linguistic variation and universals. * Linguistic diversity and universals. Challenges of cross-lingual annotation. Which linguistic phenomena or categories should be considered universal? How should they be annotated? * Bringing technology to document under-described languages. Improving model performance and documentation of under-resourced languages using typological databases, multilingual models, and data from high-resource languages. * Cognate and Derivative Detection for Low-Resourced Languages. Important Dates (all deadlines are 23:59 AoE) — February 13, 2023: Paper submission deadline — March 13, 2023: Notification of acceptance — March 27, 2023: Camera-ready deadline — May 2 or 6, 2023: Workshop Submissions We invite both extended abstract submissions (non-archival) and general paper submissions (archival). The accepted submissions will be presented at the workshop, providing new insights and ideas. Extended abstracts should describe already published work or work in progress and should not exceed two (2) pages. This way, we will not discourage researchers from preferring main conference proceedings, at the same time ensuring that interesting and thought-provoking research is presented at the workshop. For general (archival) submissions we accept both long and short papers. Short papers should not exceed four (4) pages, long papers should not exceed eight (8) pages papers. Unlimited additional pages are allowed for the references section in all submission types. Submissions should be anonymous, without authors or an acknowledgment section; self-citations should appear in the third person. Submissions must follow the EACL 2023 stylesheet https://2023.eacl.org/calls/styles/; both long and short paper submissions must follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. All submissions must be in PDF format. Contributions should be submitted via OpenReview: https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2023/Workshop/SIGTYP Shared Task This year’s edition will include a shared task on “Cognate and Derivative Detection for Low-Resourced Languages", more details can be found here: https://github.com/sigtyp/ST2023.
