Summary

Topics
The aim of the GL workshop is to bring together diverse contributions in philosophy, linguistics, computer science and lexicography to explore the lexicon from the point of view of generativity, in particular: In this second workshop we would like to keep all the above perspectives, but put more of the focus on available on-line lexical resources in order to compare experience. The discussions will be centered, but not limited to, the following topics: Papers on on-line ressources can make reference to any semantic lexicons (Wordnet, Framenet, Meaning-text theory, etc.), but a link to Generative Lexicon theory is desirable (Pustejovsky 1995). Key topics are: The conference will be held over a period of two and a half days. Oral presentations (30 min) and a poster session are foreseen. Invited speakers include Nicoletta Calzolari (Istituto Di Linguistica Computazionale, Pisa), Ann Copestake (Cambridge University, Cambridge), Christiane Fellbaum (Princeton University), Charles J. Fillmore (International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley), Alex Lascarides (University of Edinburgh) and James Pustejovsky (Brandeis University, Brandeis).
