Plenary talks:

• Artemis ALEXIADOU (Stuttgart):
  Plenary talk on "Nominalizations in context": the talk presents an outline of the Stuttgart Sonderforschungsbereich (special research centre) on "Incremental specification in context", focusing on the interplay between theoretical linguistic and compuational modelling. It exemplifies some of these points with an analysis of nominalizations in "-er".
• Tue (5)
• Daniel Josephs PRINSLOO (Pretoria):
  Plenary talk on resources for a processing of the South African Bantu languages (another perspective on computational linguistics): this talk givers a quick summary of some of the major characteristics of the South African Bantu languages which have an impact on the modelling of linguistic resources. It highlights ongoing work in South Africa towards the creation of computational linguistic resources and tools.
