CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

POLYSEMY ACROSS CATEGORIES WORKSHOP  @ESSLLI2026

DESCRIPTION:
Polysemous expressions have multiple closely related senses, and there
is a substantial amount of semantic and computational linguistic
research on polysemy found in different categories of expressions, such
as adjectives, nouns and verbs. However, the extent to which there is
interaction between researchers working on polysemy in different
categories of expressions is limited. This workshop will focus on
approaches to polysemy across different grammatical categories so as to
promote engagement between different strands of polysemy research. The
workshop will have talks by two invited speakers, and also contributed
talks. We will welcome submissions on modelling the meaning of
polysemous expressions, via theoretical, experimental, corpus-based, and
computational methodologies.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION:
We welcome abstracts in the following format: a pdf file, two-pages
(plus references), at least 11pt font, A4 paper, 2.5cm margins. Please
submit abstracts via open review (link below). An Open Review account is
required for submission. Please be advised that the registration of new
accounts can take up to two weeks.
