Call for participation: Edge Hill Corpus Research Group, Thursday 15 December
by Costas Gabrielatos 06 Dec '22

06 Dec '22

Edge Hill Corpus Research Group, Thursday 15 December, 2:00-3:30 pm (GMT), online (MS Teams) Doing Corpus Pragmatics in DART 3 Martin Weisser (University of Salzburg) https://martinweisser.org/mw.html Attendance if free. Registration is now open: https://store.edgehill.ac.uk/conferences-and-events/conferences/events/edge… Abstract The Dialogue Annotation and Research Tool (DART) is a freeware tool that makes it possible to annotate large amounts of dialogue data semi-automatically on a number of linguistic levels, as well as post-process and analyse the resulting corpora efficiently using various corpus analysis methods (https://martinweisser.org/ling_soft.html#DART<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmartinwei…>). Perhaps arguably, the most interesting and important levels of analysis produced by the tool from the point of view of corpus pragmatics are the syntactic and the speech-act level, but DART annotations also comprise information about the semantics (topics), semantico-pragmatic (modes; Searle's IFIDs), surface polarity, (completion) status, and disfluency of units. In this talk, I want to begin by providing a brief overview of the background, genesis and development of the tool. Next, we'll discuss the different levels of annotation, their potential significance in pragmatics, and how they may work together in determining the pragmatic meaning potential in the form of speech acts. I'll then briefly illustrate how it's possible to adapt the resources used for the annotation process to new domains, as well as the steps involved in the annotation process itself. And last, but not least, we'll explore the different analysis options related to speech acts and other patterns the tool has to offer. ________________________________ Edge Hill University<http://ehu.ac.uk/home/emailfooter> Modern University of the Year, The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022<http://ehu.ac.uk/tef/emailfooter> University of the Year, Educate North 2021/21 ________________________________ This message is private and confidential.

2-year full-time postdoc in computational linguistics at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg
by Stephanie Evert 05 Dec '22

05 Dec '22

The project “Reading concordances in the 21st century (RC21)”, run jointly by Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and the University of Birmingham is looking for a POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER IN COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS (100%, E13 TV-L, starting ASAP) Application deadline: 16 Dec 2022 Interviews: week beginning 19 Dec 2022 (held via zoom) Format of application: by email to stephanie.evert(a)fau.de (including evidence of all relevant qualifications, preferably in a single PDF) Start of position: 1 Feb 2023 Duration of employment: until 31 Jan 2025 Placement: Computational Corpus Linguistics group (www.linguistik.fau.de) Contact / queries: Stephanie Evert https://www.jobs.fau.de/jobs/postdoctoral-researcher-in-computational-lingu… This is the first of two postdoctoral positions. The second post, which will be based at the University of Birmingham, will be advertised in the new year, with a starting date in the spring. PROJECT INFO In today's digital world, the amount of text communicated in electronic form is ever-increasing and there is a growing need for approaches and methods to extract meanings from texts at scale. Corpus linguists have long been studying recurring patterns in digitised texts with the help of concordances, i.e. displays that show many occurrences of a word, phrase or construction across a range of contexts in a compact format. However, lacking a well-established and clear-cut methodology, the art of reading concordances has not yet realised its full potential. At the same time, there has been very little innovation in algorithms in the concordance software packages available to corpus linguists. This project proposes an innovative approach to reading concordances in the 21st century. Through the collaboration between the University of Birmingham and Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg we combine strengths in theoretical work in corpus linguistics with expertise in computational algorithms in order to develop a systematic methodology for reading concordances and corresponding algorithms for the semi-automatic analysis of concordance lines. Through two case studies on English and German data sets, we will establish an approach that not only provides innovation in corpus linguistics, but also has wider implications for the analysis of textual data at scale, while still retaining a humanities perspective. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER • Developing, implementing, and applying novel computer algorithms to support and improve the manipulation of concordance displays • Producing documentation • Carrying out interdisciplinary case studies using the new methodology in close collaboration with other researchers • Leading on the organisation of workshops and other dissemination activities • Developing training materials for workshops and materials for web presence • Analysing data, writing up results, and co-authoring publications • Managing project tasks, supervising student assistants, and providing progress reports • Managing collaborative activities with the UK team REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS • PhD or DPhil in Computational Linguistics, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Corpus Linguistics, Computational Humanities, or similar subject (completed or near completion) • Evidence of strong programming skills, ideally in Python • Evidence of ability to analyse linguistic data • Native-like language skills in German and English • Excellent communication skills in English, including the ability to write for publication, present research proposals and results, and represent the project team at meetings and research events • Ability to work independently, manage own academic research and associated activities, and to supervise student assistants OPTIONAL QUALIFICATIONS • Strong publication record (commensurate with opportunities and experience) at relevant international conferences (computational linguistics, DH, corpus linguistics) • Experience in interdisciplinary research is a plus • Experience with deep learning approaches and/or statistical methods is a plus

ESSLLI 2023: Second Call for Course and Workshop Proposals
by Kilian Evang 02 Dec '22

02 Dec '22

CALL FOR COURSE AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS 34th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information – ESSLLI 2023 31 July–11 August, 2023, Ljubljana, Slovenia https://2023.esslli.eu/ Important Dates =============== 13 January 2023: Course Title submission deadline (mandatory) 20 January 2023: Final submission 3 March 2023: Notification Introduction ============ Under the auspices of the Association for Logic, Language, and Information (FoLLI), the European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (ESSLLI) runs every year. Except for 2021, where the school was virtual, it runs in a different European country each year. It takes place over two weeks in the summer, hosts approximately 50 different courses at both introductory and advanced levels, and attracts around 400 participants from all over the world. Since 1989, ESSLLI has been providing outstanding interdisciplinary educational opportunities in the fields of Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Linguistics, Logic, Philosophy, and beyond. It comes from a community which recognizes that advances in our common areas require the contributions of multiple interrelated disciplines. The main focus of ESSLLI is the interface between linguistics, logic and computation, with special emphasis in human linguistic and cognitive ability. Courses, both introductory and advanced, cover a wide variety of topics within the combined areas of interest: Logic and Computation, Computation and Language, and Language and Logic. Workshops are also organized, providing opportunities for in-depth discussion of issues at the forefront of research, as well as a series of invited evening lectures. Topics and Format ================= Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI 2023 are invited in all areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computer Sciences. Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged. Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions, offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. Proposals for two-week courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one. In such cases, the ESSLLI program committee reserves the right to accept just one of the two proposals. All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a minimum. However, organizers and instructors have their registration fees waived, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses up to a level to be determined and communicated with the proposal notification. ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one course/workshop organizer, and cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside of Europe. The ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in controlling the School's expenses by seeking partial or complete coverage of travel and accommodation expenses from other sources. Categories ========== Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories. Foundational Courses -------------------- Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to people with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be of elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant discipline. They should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and techniques of the course's topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary nature of our research community. Introductory Courses -------------------- Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission. They are intended to introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic methods and techniques. Such courses should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop some comfort and competence in the topic considered. Introductory courses in a cross-disciplinary area may presuppose general knowledge of the related disciplines. Advanced Courses ---------------- Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who wish to acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current research of a field. Workshops --------- Workshops focus on specialized topics, usually of current interest. Workshop organizers are responsible for soliciting papers and selecting the workshop program. They are also responsible for publishing proceedings if they decide to have proceedings. Proposal Guidelines =================== Course and workshop proposals should closely follow these guidelines to ensure full consideration. Course and Workshop proposals can be submitted by no more than two lecturers/organizers and they are presented by no more than these two lecturers/organizers. All instructors and organizers must possess a PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline. Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course category. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the intended level, for example as it relates to standard textbooks and monographs in the area. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites in detail. Proposals of Courses given at ESSLLI the previous year will have a lower priority of being accepted in the current year. Proposals must be in PDF format include all of the following: 1. Personal information for each proposer: Name, affiliation, contact address, email, homepage (optional) 2. General proposal information: Title, category 3. Contents information: a. Abstract of up to 150 words b. Motivation and description (up to two pages) c. Tentative outline d. Expected level and prerequisites e. Appropriate references (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings, surveys) 4. Information on the proposer and course: a. Will your course appeal to students outside of the main discipline of the course? b. Include information on your experience in the intensive one-week interdisciplinary setting c. Include evidence that the course proposer is an excellent lecturer 5. Information from workshop organizers: a. Include information on relevant preceding meetings and events, if applicable b. Include information about potential external funding for participants Submission Information ====================== **By January 13, 2023:** You are asked to submit in EasyChair at least the name(s) of the instructor(s), the ESSLLI area+course level and a short abstract. **By January 20:** Your submission must be completed by uploading a PDF with the actual proposal as detailed above. Submission Portal ================= Please submit your proposals to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli2023 Childcare ========= If there is enough interest, ESSLLI will provide information on private child care services available during the summer school.
