These topics cover but are not limited to the following:

• Computational approaches to the study of multiword expressions, e.g. automatic detection, classification and extraction of multiword expressions; automatic translation of multiword expressions; computational treatment of proper names; multiword expressions in NLP tasks and applications such as parsing, machine translation, text summarisation, term extraction, web search

• Corpus-based approaches to phraseology, e.g. corpus-based empirical studies of phraseology; task-orientated typologies of phraseological units (e.g. for annotation, lexicographic representation, etc.); annotation schemes; applications in applied linguistics and more specifically translation, interpreting, lexicography, terminology, language learning, teaching and assessment (see also below)

• Phraseology in mono- and bilingual lexicography and terminography, e.g. new forms of presenting phraseological units in dictionaries and other lexical resources based on corpus-based and corpus-driven approaches; domain-specific terminology

• Phraseology in translation and cross-linguistic studies, e.g. use parallel and comparable corpora for translating of phraseological units; phraseological units in computer-aided translation; study of phraseology across languages

• Phraseology in specialised languages and language dialects, e.g. phraseology of specialised languages; study of phraseological use in different dialects or varieties of a specific language

• Phraseology in language learning, teaching and assessment, e.g. second language/bilingual processing of phraseological units and formulaic language; phraseological units in learner language

• Theoretical and descriptive approaches to phraseology, e.g. phraseological units and the lexis-grammar interface; the relevance of phraseology for theoretical models of grammar; the representation of phraseological units in constituency and dependency theories; phraseology and its interaction with semantics

• Cognitive and psycholinguistic approaches, e.g. cognitive models of phraseological unit comprehension and production; on-line measures of phraseological unit processing (e.g. eye tracking, event-related potentials, self-paced reading); phraseology and language disorders; phraseology and text readability
