21^st International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT 2023)

March 09 - 12 , 2023, Washington, D.C.

Scope & Topics

21^st International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT 2023) shall be held from A March 09 - 12 , 2023, Washington, D.C. via hybrid mode. TLT addresses all aspects of treebank design, development, and use. As “treebanks” we consider any pairing of natural language data (spoken, signed, or written) with annotations of linguistic structure at various levels of analysis, including e.g., morpho-phonology, syntax, semantics, and discourse. Annotations can take any form (including trees or general graphs), but they should be encoded in a way that enables computational processing. Reflections on the design of linguistic annotations, methodology studies, resource announcements or updates, annotation or conversion tool development, or reports on treebank usage are but some examples of the types of papers we anticipate for TLT.

Topics of Interest :

• Design principles and annotation schemes for treebanks
• The use of treebanks in acquiring linguistic knowledge
• The use of treebanks for NLP applications
• The role of linguistic theories in treebank development
• Treebanks as a knowledge source for linguistic research
• Treebank annotation beyond syntax: semantics, pragmatics and discourse
• Evaluation and quality control of treebanks
• Tools for creation and management of treebanks
• Treebanks for lesser-resourced languages
• Theories, schemas and applications for parallel treebanks
• Standards for treebanks
• (Semi-)automatic methods for creating large treebanks
• Mapping of treebanks to Linked Open Data resources
• Domain-specific treebanks
• The future of treebanks and treebanking
• Multi-word expressions in treebanks
• Language-universal annotation for treebanks and its relation to language-specific annotation
