Proceedings of the VIIth GSCP International Conference
The 7th International Conference of the Gruppo di Studi sulla Comunicazione Parlata, dedicated to the memory of Claire Blanche-Benveniste, chose as its main theme Speech and Corpora. The wide international origin of the 235 authors from 21 countries and 95 institutions led to papers on many different languages. The 89 papers of this volume reflect the themes of the conference: spoken corpora compilation and annotation, with the technological connected fields; the relation between prosody and pragmatics; speech pathologies; and different papers on phonetics, speech and linguistic analysis, pragmatics and sociolinguistics. Many papers are also dedicated to speech and second language studies. The online publication with FUP allows direct access to sound and video linked to papers (when downloaded)
Expressões proverbiais do português - usos, variação formal e identificação automática
Os provérbios são uma expressão da cultura de uma sociedade e estão ligados às mais
diversas áreas da experiência humana. Este tipo de expressões surge nos mais variados
tipos de texto e desempenha diferentes funções retóricas no discurso, nele se integrando
por meio de diferentes mecanismos, nem sempre fáceis de detetar formalmente. A
interferência nos processos de coerência e de coesão discursivas, p. ex., a referência, e a
sua variação formal, constituem sérios desafios ao processamento da linguagem natural
(PLN), exigindo a sua identificação e delimitação precisas.
Este projeto visa a identificação automática de provérbios portugueses (e as suas
variantes) em textos, a fim de melhor caracterizar a sua utilização, tanto qualitativa
como quantitativamente.
Tal permitirá a definição de índices de frequência e, a partir destes, bem como de
outros critérios, a determinação da disponibilidade lexical das unidades paremiológicas
(o provérbio e as suas variantes).
Estas informações são elementos relevantes a considerar, por exemplo, no
desenvolvimento de instrumentos complementares de diagnóstico ou terapia de
determinadas patologias da linguagem; ou mesmo para a construção de jogos didáticos
para o ensino-aprendizagem de português, língua materna e língua não materna,
eventualmente assistido por computador.Proverbs are an expression of the culture of a society and are connected to the most
diverse areas of human experience. This type of expression occurs in the most diverse
types of text and performs different rhetorical functions in the discourse, integrating
it through several mechanisms, not always easy to detect formally. Interference in the
processes of discursive coherence and cohesion, e.g. reference, and its formal variation,
constitute serious challenges to Natural Language Processing (NLP), requiring its
precise identification and delimitation.
This project aims at the automatic identification of Portuguese proverbs (and
their variants) in texts, to effectively characterize their use, both qualitatively and
quantitatively.
This will allow the definition of frequency indices and, from these, as well as other
criteria, the determination of the lexical availability of the paremiological units (the
proverb and its variants).
This information is relevant elements to consider, for example, in the development of
complementary diagnostic or therapeutic instruments for certain language pathologies;
or even for the construction of didactic games for the teaching-learning of Portuguese,
either as a Mother Tongue or as a Foreign Language, eventually assisted by computer

Proceedings of the International Congress on Interdisciplinarity in Social and Human Sciences
Interdisciplinarity is the main topic and the main goal of this conference.
Since the sixteen century with the creation of the first Academy of Sciences, in Napoles (Italy) (1568), and before
that with the creation of the Fine Arts Academies, the world of science and arts began to work independently, on
the contrary of the Academy of Plato, in Classical Antiquity, where science, art and sport went interconnected. Over
time, specific sciences began to be independent, and the specificity of sciences caused an increased difficulty in mutual
understanding.
The same trend has affected the Human and Social Sciences. Each of the specific sciences gave rise to a wide
range of particular fields. This has the advantage of allowing the deepening of specialised knowledge, but it means
that there is often only a piecemeal approach of the research object, not taking into account the its overall complexity.
So, it is important to work for a better understanding of the scientific phenomena with the complementarity of the different sciences, in an interdisciplinary perspective.
With this growing specialisation of sciences, Interdisciplinarity acquired more relevance for scientists to find moreencompassing and useful answers for their research questions.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Formaciones imaginarias del diseñador gráfico en el discurso del campo académico.
En este trabajo se describe un proyecto de tesis doctoral en el que se analiza el discurso sobre el diseñador gráfico. Se parte del supuesto de que existe una tricotomía de su perfil: 1) el campo profesional, 2) el campo educativo y, 3) el campo académico. Proponemos que dicha tricotomía permite la identificación de imaginarios sobre el tema, y no solo eso, sino que también aporta elementos que conforman la identidad (Bauman, 2002) de un diseñador gráfico. La pregunta de investigación es ¿Cuál
es la identidad discursiva del diseñador gráfico en el campo académico? La investigación descrita es de tipo cualitativo y deductivo; para la construcción la identidad discursiva (Van Dijk, T; 2008) del diseñador gráfico, se toman en cuenta diversas publicaciones: principalmente investigaciones y breves artículos difundidos en comunidades/foros de reflexión y debate en torno a la temática, además de memorias de congresos y libros. En apoyo al desarrollo del proyecto se ha diseñado un Laboratorio de Intervención en el Diseño, cuyos objetivos son impulsar el desarrollo social y cultural de los diseñadores gráficos por medio de la investigación, educación continua, producción y vinculación. En un primer acercamiento a las formaciones imaginarias (Pêcheux, 1978) sobre la identidad del diseñador gráfico se centran en el grado de erudición para la ejecución de su trabajo, en la cultura que demuestran y en la autonomía con la que producen

Intelligent business processes composition based on mas, semantic and cloud integration (IPCASCI)
[EN]Component reuse is one of the techniques that most clearly contributes to the
evolution of the software industry by providing efficient mechanisms to create quality
software. Reuse increases both software reliability, due to the fact that it uses
previously tested software components, and development productivity, and leads to a
clear reduction in cost.
Web services have become are an standard for application development on cloud
computing environments and are essential in business process development. These
services facilitate a software construction that is relatively fast and efficient, two
aspects which can be improved by defining suitable models of reuse. This research
work is intended to define a model which contains the construction requirements of
new services from service composition. To this end, the composition is based on
tested Web services and artificial intelligent tools at our disposal.
It is believed that a multi-agent architecture based on virtual organizations is a
suitable tool to facilitate the construction of cloud computing environments for
business processes from other existing environments, and with help from ontological
models as well as tools providing the standard BPEL (Business Process Execution
Language). In the context of this proposal, we must generate a new business process
from the available services in the platform, starting with the requirement
specifications that the process should meet. These specifications will be composed of a
semi-free description of requirements to describe the new service.
The virtual organizations based on a multi-agent system will manage the tasks
requiring intelligent behaviour. This system will analyse the input (textual description
of the proposal) in order to deconstruct it into computable functionalities, which will
be subsequently treated. Web services (or business processes) stored to be reused
have been created from the perspective of SOA architectures and associated with an
ontological component, which allows the multi-agent system (based on virtual
organizations) to identify the services to complete the reuse process.
The proposed model develops a service composition by applying a standard BPEL
once the services that will compose the solution business process have been
identified. This standard allows us to compose Web services in an easy way and
provides the advantage of a direct mapping from Business Process Management

Linguistics parameters for zero anaphora resolution
Dissertação de mest., Natural Language Processing and Human Language Technology, Univ. do Algarve, 2009This dissertation describes and proposes a set of linguistically motivated rules for zero
anaphora resolution in the context of a natural language processing chain developed for
Portuguese. Some languages, like Portuguese, allow noun phrase (NP) deletion (or zeroing)
in several syntactic contexts in order to avoid the redundancy that would result from
repetition of previously mentioned words. The co-reference relation between the zeroed
element and its antecedent (or previous mention) in the discourse is here called zero
anaphora (Mitkov, 2002). In Computational Linguistics, zero anaphora resolution may be
viewed as a subtask of anaphora resolution and has an essential role in various Natural
Language Processing applications such as information extraction, automatic abstracting,
dialog systems, machine translation and question answering. The main goal of this
dissertation is to describe the grammatical rules imposing subject NP deletion and referential
constraints in the Brazilian Portuguese, in order to allow a correct identification of the
antecedent of the deleted subject NP. Some of these rules were then formalized into the
Xerox Incremental Parser or XIP (Ait-Mokhtar et al., 2002: 121-144) in order to constitute a
module of the Portuguese grammar (Mamede et al. 2010) developed at Spoken Language
Laboratory (L2F). Using this rule-based approach we expected to improve the performance
of the Portuguese grammar namely by producing better dependency structures with
(reconstructed) zeroed NPs for the syntactic-semantic interface. Because of the complexity
of the task, the scope of this dissertation had to be limited: (a) subject NP deletion; b) within
sentence boundaries and (c) with an explicit antecedent; besides, (d) rules were formalized
based solely on the results of the shallow parser (or chunks), that is, with minimal syntactic
(and no semantic) knowledge. A corpus of different text genres was manually annotated for
zero anaphors and other zero-shaped, usually indefinite, subjects. The rule-based
approached is evaluated and results are presented and discussed
