Its ubiquity in language has been established in a number of corpus studies and the role it plays in human reasoning has been confirmed in psychological experiments. This makes metaphor an important research area for computational and cognitive linguistics, and its automatic identification and interpretation indispensable for any semantics-oriented NLP application. The main focus of the workshop is on computational modeling of metaphor using state-of-the-art NLP techniques. The selected papers offer explorations into the following directions: (1) creation of metaphor-annotated datasets;</pre> Ekaterina Shutova 2013-05-20T01:42:19 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.corpora/18042 <pre>Dear All, Please forward this call for paper to your colleagues and interested people.

Abstract In the last few years, collections of digital text have strongly increased in number, especially in the field of humanities. Digital libraries of full-text documents, including digital editions of literary texts, are emerging as environments for the production, the management and the dissemination of complex annotated corpora. The potential interpretative levels emerging from the analysis of textual phenomena (including bibliographic, linguistic, thematic, structural, rhetorical and prosopographic aspects) converge to produce a stratification of annotations whose complex interactions may give light to new and unexpected potentials for analysis.

Conference site: http://www.gscp.it/GSCP_official_website/pS-prominenceS.html CONFERENCE THEME Prominence is the name of a way to analyse the linguistic phenomena: the idea that a well- formedness condition of linguistic constituents relies on the existence of a dependency between a hierarchically higher-level obligatory element (sometimes referred to as the “head”) and one or more subordinate and optional elements (the domain of the head). This condition operates in many components or structures of the grammar: syntax, morphology, pragmatics, metric, and intonation. In short, the prominence is a matter of interface. To this effect we propose a meeting on all these different fields of study.

RATIONALE Memory and data capacities double approximately every two years and, apparently, the Web is following the same rule. User-generated contents, in particular, are an ever-growing source of opinion and sentiments which are continuously spread worldwide through blogs, wikis, fora, chats and social networks. The distillation of knowledge from such sources is a key factor for applications in fields such as commerce, tourism, education and health, but the quantity and the nature of the contents they generate make it a very difficult task. Due to such challenging research problems and wide variety of practical applications, opinion mining and sentiment analysis have become very active research areas in the last decade.

I am rather ignorant when it comes to statistics and statistical measures... but as a now somewhat antiquated corpus-driven linguist... measuring/assessing collocations between single-word A and single-word B: #1 by raw frequency - can often obscure the collocations that interest me, because this method allows in too many 'corpus-frequent' words (ie grammatical words) at/near the top of the collocate list #2 by t-score - usually demotes some of the 'corpus-frequent' words, but retains corpus-frequent words if they have a strong relationship with the node; this is my preferred statistic #3 by MI-score - privileges 'corpus-INfrequent' words, and often places proper names and eccentric combinations at/near the top of the collocate list; this is my least preferred statistic B. If we are interested in 'lexical bundles' (which I think are the same as 'n-grams'), can we not apply exactly the same maths to these units?
