ESSLLI 2000 Workshop on
PATHS AND TELICITY IN EVENT STRUCTURE
August 6 - 10, 2000
A workshop held as part of the
Twelfth European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
ESSLLI-2000
August 6 - 18, 2000, Birmingham, Great Britain
** FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS **
Submission Deadline: April 15, 2000
ORGANIZER: Hana Filip, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, USA
DESCRIPTION:
The workshop focuses on the structuring of eventuality types
by means of Paths, with special reference to the sources of
telicity effects that are related to Paths in the concrete
spatial domain, but also in a variety of other domains: cp.
"John ran along/toward/into the house", "The train squealed
into/out of the station", "John hammered the metal flat".
The structure of eventuality types and spatial relations are clearly
central to our understanding of categories encoded in linguistic
expressions and to our understanding of human cognition. Several
research domains--linguistics, cognitive science, artificial
intelligence and psychology--have focused on different
aspects of these topics. While significant breakthroughs have
been achieved in all these domains, the theoretical structures
proposed tend to share little in common. One of the goals of this
workshop is to bring to the fore the connections among them,
and ultimately to show how a synthesis of the relevant results
can be useful in the formulation of linguistic hypotheses in
the domain event structure and telicity, and in providing empirical
motivation for them.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working
on linguistic, logical, computational and/or psychological
aspects of the workshop topic, and submissions from all these areas
of research are welcome.
Topics of the workshop will include (but are not limited to)
the following four main areas:
(1) the ingredients of a general semantic framework for the
representation of eventuality types involving Paths in a variety
of dimensions, and for the calculation of the telic and atelic
interpretation of sentences in which Paths of various types
are crucially implicated;
(2) representational issues at the level of event structure,
and the mapping between event structure and syntax;
the treatment of mismatches between semantic and syntactic categories
(in terms of general compositional rules vs. other kinds of mechanism,
such as telicity shifts and coercion, underspecification at the level
of verbal and/or phrasal meanings);
(3) mathematical, logical and computational aspects of modelling of
spatial relations (e.g., the axis and vector grammars, and their suitability
for describing directional expressions in human language);
(4) the possibility of identifying universals of basic spatial terms
that may pre-linguistically available to human beings and that are
subject to modification by linguistic (and extra-lingustics) experience.
SUBMISSION:

CROSS-LANGUAGE EVALUATION FORUM
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
A Cross-Language System Evaluation activity is now being launched
in Europe. The activity is sponsored by the DELOS Network of
Excellence for Digital Libraries in collaboration with the US National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the TREC
Conferences.
The Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) will run three main
evaluation tracks in 2000, testing multilingual, bilingual and monolingual
(non-English) information retrieval systems. There will also be a special
sub-task for domain-specific cross-language evaluation.
For further information, see <http://www.iei.pi.cnr.it/DELOS/CLEF>.
The results of the activity will be presented during a two-day Workshop
on Multilingual Information Access, 21-22 September in Lisbon, Portugal,
immediately after the fourth European Conference on Digital Libraries
(ECDL2000: see <http://www.bn.pt/org/agenda/ecdl2000>).
Those intending to participate in CLEF 2000 are requested to send an
e-mail to Carol Peters (carol@iei.pi.cnr.it), as soon as possible,
indicating in which task(s) they intend to participate.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Data Release - 1 April 2000
Topic Release - 8 May 2000
Receipt of results from participants - 1 July 2000
Release of relevance assessments and individual results - 15 August 2000
Submission of paper for Working Notes - 5 September 2000
Workshop - 21-22 September 2000

OTHER ASPECTS OF INTEREST
Santiago de Cuba, located at some 900 kms from Havana, is Cuba's second
largest city. Its economic, cultural and social importance in Cuban
history is unquestionable. Santiago is also the capital of the province
with the same name. Surrounded by the green mountains of the Sierra
Maestra range and the Caribbean Sea, Santiago is unique in its geography
and beautiful landscape. Its surroundings make the city one of the most
important tourist attractions on the entire island. The Organizing
Committee, in coordination with the city's tourist agencies will offer
visiting delegates a host of options allowing participants to enjoy the
city's beauty and charm.
