Polysemy across categories 

A 5-day workshop on polysemy @ESSLLI2026 with invited and contributed talks

 Polysemous expressions have multiple closely related senses, and there is a substantial amount of semantic and computational linguistic research on polysemy found in different categories of expressions, such as adjectives, nouns and verbs. However, the extent to which there is interaction between researchers working on polysemy in different categories of expressions is limited. This workshop will focus on approaches to polysemy across different grammatical categories so as to promote engagement between different strands of polysemy research. The workshop will have talks by three invited speakers (see below), and also contributed talks. We will welcome submissions on modelling the meaning of polysemous expressions, via theoretical, experimental, corpus-based, and computational methodologies.
