****************************************************************************
* WORKSHOP ON COMPOUND NOUNS *
* Linguistic and Computational Approaches *
* *
* Friday the 26th of JUNE 1992 *
* in Fontenay aux Roses FRANCE (1/2 hour from PARIS by Metro) *
****************************************************************************

THEMES :
1 Linguistic study of Compound Nouns (CN) :
Description
- CN with a particular structure
- Lexicography and CN
- CN : morphology and morpho-syntax
Variations
- syntax : between frozen expressions and free structures
- semantics : between metaphors and compositionality
- semiotics : between description and naming
- categorisation, taxonomy and cognitive relevance
- CN ind sublanguages or in semantic domains

2 Processing CN
Retrieval
- electronic dictionaries for CN
- lexical analysis for CN : spelling variations, inflected forms
Parsing
- CN and syntactic formalisms
- CN and parsing tools
Variations
- NP analysis and CN transformations
- contribution of CN study to NLP (translation, thesaurus design,
automatic indexing, spelling checkers, NL interfaces ...)

ORGANISATION
The workshop will be composed of 14 talks of 1/2 hour (13 in French and 1 in
English) and two Panels (one for each theme).

FUTURE PROSPECTS
One aim of this workshop is also to delimit the group of researchers working
on CN. This workshop could lead to :
- publishing a news letter
- having a common mailing address
- organising regular workshops
- publishing a bibliography
- editing an issue of a linguistic journal on this theme.
and creating a more formal structure so that exchange of ideas and viewpoints
is made easier.
