              Exploring Syntactically Annotated Corpora
                    Workshop to be held on July 14th
                        CORPUS LINGUISTICS 2005
                  University of Birmingham, 14-17 July
                   http://www.bultreebank.org/ESyntAC/

    Workshop motivation and aims

    A lot of syntactically annotated corpora have been created
    recently for various languages. Therefore, the question of
    applicability and usefulness of such resources seems to have
    become of big importance. Syntactically annotated corpora can be
    viewed in two ways: 1) as a reliable base for resource creation:
    further annotation (for example, semantic and discourse
    annotation); automatic extraction of linguistic knowledge
    (grammar and lexicon extraction; creation of automatic parsing
    tools etc.) and environment for testing tools.; 2) as a base for
    navigation and search: query languages and support engines.

    We envisage a one-day workshop and 10-12 presentations.

    Topics of interest:

    - creation of resources on top of syntactic corpora;
    - various kinds of knowledge extraction;
    - creation and testing of parsing tools;
    - search languages;
    - symbolic and subsymbolic methods for syntactic corpora
      exploration;
    - software systems for management and accessibility to
      syntactically annotated corpora;
    - various applications of syntactic corpora.

    Important dates

    Deadline for workshop abstract submission: 29th May 2005
