Classifying linguistic objects is a widespread and important linguistic task, and computational linguistics often requires the deduction of a classiicatory system from a general linguistic theory. Since hand deducing a classiicatory system may consume much eeort and introduce errors, a device that eeectively deduces accurate classiicatory systems from general linguistic theories would beneet co...

The fields of corpus and computational linguistics address fundamental goals – and challenge us to rethink the structure – of humanistic research. All work with historical languages is, in some sense, an exercise in corpus linguistics. The Greek and Latin Treebanks illustrate changes in intellectual practice. Linguistic annotation of historical corpora serves a different community and offers a ...

The Emerging Media Group (EMG) was created in August 2007 as a transformative endeavor of the DNI's Open Source Center. It collaborates with regional offices in the OSC in its response to requirements from across the community. Its main goal is to transform analysis of publically available data. The speaker will describe their current mission and projects as well as their approach to multimedia...

One of the goals of computational linguistics is to create automated systems that can learn, generate, and understand language at all levels of structure (semantics, syntax, morphology, phonology, phonetics). This is a very demanding task whose complete fulfillment lies far in the future. Human beings can learn, generate, and understand language at all levels of structure, and the study of how ...

Following the growing interest in \corpus-based" approaches to computational linguistics, a number of studies have recently appeared on the topic of automatic term recognition or extraction. Because a successful term recognition method has to be based on proper insights into the nature of terms, studies of automatic term recognition not only contribute to the applications of computational lingu...

Introduction Recent years have witnessed an upsurge of interest in metonymy. From cognitive to computational linguistics, researchers have finally realized that metonymy is ubiquitous in everyday language and that it constitutes an important focus of research. In cognitive linguistics, this has given rise to detailed studies of metonymy as a cognitive phenomenon (Kövecses and Radden, 1998; Peir...

One of the most thought-provoking proposals I have heard recently came from Lori Levin during the discussion that concluded the EACL 2009 Workshop on the Interaction between Linguistics and Computational Linguistics. Lori proposed that we should form an ACL Special Interest Group on Linguistics. At first blush, I found the idea weird: Isn’t it a little like the American Academy of Pediatrics fo...
