                COGNITIVELY PLAUSIBLE MODELS OF SEMANTIC PROCESSING
                               SEMPRO-2001
     
               (A workshop in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the
                         Cognitive Science Society)

                        July 31st, Edinburgh University

    The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to present models of
    semantic processing (computational and non-computational) motivated by
    psychological evidence or corpus studies. Topics of interest include:

    - incrementality and underspecification in semantic processing
    - lexical access and disambiguation
    - semantic composition (e.g., interpretation of modifiers such as adjectives,
      of modal expressions, of negation)
    - anaphora resolution
    - scope assignment
    - detection and exploitation of discourse structure
    - semantic interpretation in dialogues (e.g., models of grounding)

    We would especially like to encourage the exchange of results between
    psychological experimentation, computational modelling, and corpus-based work.
