Goals

Meaning-text Theory (MTT), which grew out of work on machine translation in the USSR 40 years ago, is characterized by:

1. the Modeling of language as a correspondence between meaning and texts/sounds;
2. the central position of the lexicon;
3. the privileged position of semantics over syntax;
4. and the use of a dependency representation in syntax.

This conference has two goals: researchers working in the MTT framework will report on their research, and researchers in other frameworks are invited to compare their work to MTT.

Invited Speakers

Jurij Apresjan Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russian Federation
