Submissions for the general session may address any of the topics of the Conference:

• Lexis: lexical phenomena and their processing with special attention to possibility to formalize them for various purposes such as text analysis, multi-word units, processing of monolingual and multilingual corpora, etc.
• Grammatical phenomena and their processing
• The interface between lexis and grammar
• Teoretical and methodological innovations concerning processing of lexis and grammar
• Interlingual similarities and differences in the field of lexis and grammar (contrastive approach, aligned corpora, etc.)
• Exploitation of language resources (including manually constructed lexicons and grammars) for language processing (including parsing and NL generation as well as application such as information retrieval, information extraction)

The thematic session of the 29th International Conference on Lexis and Grammar is dedicated to the problem of ambiguity and its implications both in linguistics and natural language processing. Ambiguity is one of the main issues both in linguistics and NLP because:

• it arises on the large scale in all languages
• the resolution of ambiguity is indispensable for humans to understand any message
• the resolution of ambiguity represents a preliminary step in automatic text processing that has to be done before any other application (analysis, machine translation, etc.).

The articles that are dealing with following aspects of ambiguity would be welcome:

• lexical, morphosyntactic and syntactic ambiguity, as well as ambiguity between frozen and non-frozen expressions
• the automatic treatment of ambiguity, since the number of tags assigned to a word form is proportional to its degree of ambiguity

The languages of the Conference are English and French.

Organization:

• Faculty of Mathematics, University of Belgrade
• Faculty of Philology, University of Belgrade
