 ## Call for Papers
 
-When something happens in the world, we have access to an unlimited range of ways (from lexical choices to specific syntactic structures) to refer to the same real-world event. Variations in reference may convey radically different perspectives. This process of making reference to something by adopting a specific perspective is also known as framing. Although previous work in is this area is present (see Ali and Hassan (2022)’s survey for an overview), there is a lack of unitary framework and only few targeted datasets (Chen et al., 2019) and tools based on Large Language Models exist (Minnema et al., 2022). In this workshop, we propose to adopt Frame Semantics (Fillmore, 1968, 1985, 2006)  as a unifying theoretical framework and analysis method to understand the choices made in linguistic references to events. The semantic frames (expressed by predicates and roles) we choose give rise to our understanding, or framing, of an event. We aim to bring together different research communities interested in lexical and syntactic variation, referential grounding, frame semantics, and perspectives. We believe that there is significant overlap within the goals and interests of these communities, but not the necessary common ground to enable collaborative work.

 ### Shared Dataset
 
-To facilitate discussion among participants and to make this a real working workshop, we make available a shared corpus. The corpus is composed of news articles reporting on the 2020/2021 Eurovision Song Contest (canceled in 2020 and held in 2021) that took place in Rotterdam (the Netherlands). The news articles have been collected using the structured data-to-text approach (Vossen et al., 2018). At this point, the corpus contains texts in English and Dutch. We are extending it to a range of other European languages. We invite participants to submit short and targeted analyses using the data (extended abstracts to be discussed in a hands-on data session). Participants are also free to use the data in regular contributions. More information about the corpus will be released soon.
