Topics
Recent initiatives in language technology have led to the development of
at least minimal language processing toolkits for all EU-official
languages, as well as for languages with a large number of speakers
worldwide such as Chinese and Arabic. Apart from those official
languages, a large number of dialects or closely-related language
varieties are in daily use, not only as spoken colloquial languages but
also in written media and social networks. Building language resources
and tools from scratch is expensive, but the efforts can often be
reduced by making use of pre-existing resources and tools for related,
resource-richer languages.
The interest in language resources and computational models for the
study of similar languages, language varieties and dialects has been
growing substantially in recent years. This is evidenced by a number of
publications on this topic in NLP journals and conferences and the
organization of the VarDial workshop series co-located yearly with
top-tier NLP conferences.
We welcome papers dealing with one or more of the following topics:
- Language resources and tools for similar languages, varieties and
dialects;
- Adaptation of tools (taggers, parsers) for similar languages,
varieties and dialects;
- Evaluation of language resources and tools when applied to language
varieties;
- Reusability of language resources in NLP applications (e.g., for
machine translation, POS tagging, syntactic parsing, etc.);
- Corpus-driven studies in dialectology and language variation;
- Computational approaches to the study of mutual intelligibility
between dialects and similar languages;
- Automatic identification of lexical variation;
- Automatic classification of language varieties;
- Text similarity and adaptation between language varieties;
- Linguistic issues in the adaptation of language resources and tools
(e.g., semantic discrepancies, lexical gaps, false friends);
- Machine translation between closely related languages, language
varieties and dialects.
