PLM 2005 will be accompanied by a parallel conference: The 2nd Language and Technology Conference - Human Language Technologies as a Challenge for Computer Science and Linguistics, 21-23 April, 2005. The L&T Conference is organised by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, AMU, in association with the Infosystem Forum 2005 and PLM 2005. The registration for both conferences is separate. However, there will be joint events, and those who wish to register for both conferences will receive a substantial discount (see REGISTRATION below).
PLM SESSIONS
So far, the following sessions have been
planned:
(1) A session on morphonology;
(2) A progress report on the Polish Literacy Tutor project;
(3) A session on sociolinguistics/gender
studies;
(4) A workshop on "Approaches
to language and meaning";
(5) A session on 'exotic'
phonetics;
(6) A session on syntax
and morphosyntax.
Additionally, we are planning a linguistics vs. technology panel, a joint event of PLM 2005 and L&T'05. The idea of Technology for Linguistics, Linguistics for Technology, to be chaired by Dafydd Gibbon (Bielefeld), and organised by Katarzyna Dziubalska-Kołaczyk, and Zygmunt Vetulani, is to predict what technology and linguistics may contribute to one another in the nearest future. More details on this particular event will be disclosed soon.
Suggestions for other sessions or workshops are warmly invited.
