SECOND CALL FOR SUBMISSION
deadline : March 1st
MTT 2003
First International Conference on Meaning-Text Theory
Paris, Ecole Normale Supérieure
16-18 June 2003
Web site : http://mtt2003.linguist.jussieu.fr
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Goals
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Meaning-text Theory (MTT), which grew out of work on machine translation in the USSR 40 years ago, is characterized by:
1. the Modeling of language as a correspondence between meaning and texts/sounds; 2. the central position of the lexicon; 3. the privileged position of semantics over syntax; 4. and the use of a dependency representation in syntax.
This conference has two goals: researchers working in the MTT framework will report on their research, and researchers in other frameworks are invited to compare their work to MTT.

Invited Speakers

Jurij Apresjan Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russian Federation

Expected Submissions
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions related to all aspects of MTT are solicited, be they theoretical, descriptive, or computational.
The conference is also open to MTT-based work in fields related to linguistics, such as natural language processing, second language teaching, or psycholinguistics.
Submissions detailing work in other frameworks are also solicited, as long as the framework shares with MTT fundamental principles, such as dependency syntax, the decomposition of lexical meaning, the modeling of collocations, the stratification of the linguistic model, or the use of correspondence rules between different levels of representation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission Format
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions can be in French or in English. They should be at most 10 pages (including all figures, data, notes, and bibliography) using a 12 point font, printed in one column. Style files for Word and LaTeX will be available on the web site.
Submissions should be sent as PDF or postscript file to: mtt2003.submit@linguist.jussieu.fr
For any questions, please email mtt2003@linguist.jussieu.fr
