International Conference ‘Computational and Corpus-based Phraseology’

Malaga, 25-27 September 2019

THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS

The forthcoming international conference ‘Computational and Corpus-based Phraseology’ (EUROPHRAS 2019) will take place in Malaga on 25, 26 and 27 September 2019.

Conference topics

The conference will focus on interdisciplinary approaches to phraseology and invites submissions on a wide range of topics, covering, but not limited to: computational, corpus-based, psycholinguistic and cognitive approaches to the study of phraseology, and practical applications in computational linguistics, translation, lexicography and language learning, teaching and assessment.

These topics cover include the following:

Computational approaches to the study of multiword expressions, e.g. automatic detection, classification and extraction of multiword expressions; automatic translation of multiword expressions; computational treatment of proper names; multiword expressions in NLP tasks and applications such as parsing, machine translation, text summarisation, term extraction, web search;

Corpus-based approaches to phraseology, e.g. corpus-based empirical studies of phraseology, task-orientated typologies of phraseological units (e.g. for annotation, lexicographic representation, etc.), annotation schemes, applications in applied linguistics and more specifically translation, interpreting, lexicography, terminology, language learning, teaching and assessment (see also below);

Phraseology in mono- and bilingual lexicography and terminography, e.g. new forms of presenting phraseological units in dictionaries and other lexical resources based on corpus-based and corpus-driven approaches; domain-specific terminology;

Phraseology in translation and cross-linguistic studies, e.g. use parallel and comparable corpora for translating phraseological units; phraseological units in computer-aided translation; study of phraseology across languages;

Phraseology in specialised languages and language dialects, e.g. phraseology of specialised languages, study of phraseological use in different dialects or varieties of a specific language;

Phraseology in language learning, teaching and assessment: e.g. second language/bilingual processing of phraseological units and formulaic language; phraseological units in learner language;

Theoretical and descriptive approaches to phraseology, e.g. phraseological units and the lexis-grammar interface, the relevance of phraseology for theoretical models of grammar, the representation of phraseological units in constituency and dependency theories, phraseology and its interaction with semantics;

Cognitive and psycholinguistic approaches: e.g. cognitive models of phraseological unit comprehension and production; on-line measures of phraseological unit processing (e.g. eye tracking, event-related potentials, self-paced reading); phraseology and language disorders; phraseology and text readability;

The above list is indicative and not exhaustive. Any submission presenting a study related to the alternative terms of phraseological units, multiword expressions, multiword units, formulaic language, or polylexical expressions, will be considered.

Submissions and publication

The conference invites submissions reporting original unpublished work.

EUROPHRAS 2019 invites four types of submissions: regular papers, short papers, poster papers and abstracts.

  • Regular papers should not exceed 15 pages including references; their minimum length is 12 pages. All accepted regular papers will be published in a Springer LNAI volume, which will be available at the time of the conference. Regular papers must be written in English. Participants presenting regular papers can also benefit from post-EUROPHRAS 2019 publication opportunities (please see conditions below).
  • Short papers should not exceed 7 pages excluding references; they should be at least 5 pages long. All accepted short papers will be published in conference e-proceedings with an ISBN identifier and will also be made available at the time of the conference. Short papers can be written in either English or Spanish. Participants presenting short papers at the conference can also benefit from post-EUROPHRAS 2019 publication opportunities (please see conditions below).
  • Poster papers should not exceed 4 pages excluding references. All accepted papers for poster presentations will be included in the conference e-proceedings alongside short papers. Poster papers can be written in either English or Spanish. Participants presenting posters at the conference can also benefit from post-EUROPHRAS 2019 publication opportunities (please see conditions below).
  • In line with the tradition of previous EUROPHRAS conferences, abstracts about 500 words excluding references will be also considered for presentation at the conference. The submission deadline for abstracts will be one month later than the rest of the submissions and they can be written in either English or Spanish. The accepted abstracts will not be published in the Springer volume or the e-proceedings which will be available at the time of the conference, but as aforementioned, their authors can benefit from post-EUROPHRAS 2019 publication opportunities (please see conditions below).

Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the Programme Committee. All submissions must be made online using the Softconf START conference management system. For further instructions, please refer to the submission guidelines.

Authors of accepted papers will receive further instructions on how to produce camera-ready versions of their papers for inclusion in the proceedings.

Organisation and sponsors

The forthcoming international conference ‘Computational and Corpus-based Phraseology’ is jointly organised by the European Association for Phraseology EUROPHRAS, the University of Malaga (Research Group in Lexicography and Translation), the University of Wolverhampton (Research Group in Computational Linguistics), and the Association for Computational Linguistics – Bulgaria.

EUROPHRAS and Sketch Engine are the official sponsors of the conference.

Accompanying events

The 4th edition of the Workshop on Multiword Units in Machine Translation and Translation Technology (MUMTTT 2019) will take place as part of EUROPHRAS 2019.

In addition, a special Sketch Engine tutorial will be given by Miloš Jakubíček, CEO, Lexical Computing.

Post-conference publication opportunities

In addition to the papers to be published in a Springer volume and e-proceedings, we are offering additional publication opportunities after the conference. A volume to be published by John Benjamins has already been agreed with the publisher. To this end, we shall launch an open call inviting submissions related to computational and corpus-based phraseology. Authors of accepted abstracts will be able to send full-length papers to be considered for this volume. Authors of EUROPHRAS 2019 regular, short or poster papers will also have the opportunity to write up and submit a paper to be considered for this volume as long as the new submissions describe continuation/more advanced stage /completion of their project. Their new submissions, if based on their conference work, will have to be substantially revised paper (identical or near-to-identical papers to those presented in Malaga will not be considered).

More post-conference publication opportunities include a volume in Spanish with the publisher Comares and a special issue on Multidiciplinary Analysis of Phraseological Variation in Translation and Interpreting in the journal MonTI (Spanish and English) for papers discussing this particular topic.

In all cases, the post-conference submissions will be peer-reviewed.
