FINAL & UPDATED CALL FOR PAPERS ** apologies for cross-posting ** Linking Lexicographic and Language Learning Resources (4LR) Workshop at LDK 2023 (https://lexicala.com/4lr/)
The 4LR Workshop ‘Linking Lexicographic and Language Learning Resources’ will be held in conjunction with LDK 2023 – 4th conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (http://2023.ldk-conf.org/) – at the University of Vienna, Austria, on September 13, in hybrid mode. The aim of this workshop is to explore linguistic linked (open) data and knowledge management methods and technologies for linking lexicographic and language learning resources, tools and applications in general and dictionaries and CEFR lists in particular. Our starting point is, on the one hand, enhancing CEFR-graded language proficiency lists with lexicographic content and, on the other hand, incorporating CEFR labels in learner’s dictionaries. CEFR – the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages – is a generally established international standard for describing language proficiency, and CEFR-graded resources have been developed for many languages in Europe and beyond. However, incorporating their information is still not a common practice in modern lexicography for most languages, except for notably two English dictionaries for advanced learners (Cambridge and Oxford). There are substantial unsolved issues, such as inconsistencies in vocabulary size per level between languages; no, or limited, sense disambiguation in CEFR resources; words from a higher CEFR level in definitions and example sentences. Moreover, there has been limited collaboration and interoperability so far among the related fields of lexicography, language acquisition, and linguistic linked data, whether regarding research, development, or practical application. TOPICS The workshop will feature an overview by the organizers, as well as an invited talk by Jorge Gracia from University of Zaragoza and chair of NexusLinguarum COST Action – European network for Web-based linguistic data science. In addition, we invite submissions for papers (20 minutes, plus discussion) on the following topics: •Linking lexicographic content to CEFR-graded vocabularies •Pedagogical lexicography and knowledge graphs •Attributing CEFR labels in learner’s dictionaries •Incorporating vocabulary and grammar profiles in lexicographic resources •Creating and linking crosslingual concept-based CEFR resources •Multilingual knowledge management and language learning applications and tools SUBMISSION AND DATES Please submit your abstract including 300-500 words via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=4lr2023. The authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit a full paper for the LDK 2023 proceedings but this is not obligatory for workshop participation. Accepted paper submissions will be published by ACL in an open-access conference proceedings volume, free of charge for authors. Full papers can either be short papers (4-6 pages) or long papers (9–12 pages). The submission lengths include references. The ACL templates should be used for paper submissions (https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files). As the reviewing process is single-blind, submissions should not be anonymised. 19 May 2023 Deadline for abstract submission 23 May 2023 Notification of abstract acceptance 16 June 2023 Deadline for full paper submission 23 June 2023 Notification of full paper acceptance 30 June 2023 Deadline for camera-ready paper submission 13 Sep. 2023 4LR workshop 14–15 Sep.
