Background

FG-MOL 2005 is the 10th conference on Formal Grammar and the 9th Meeting on the 
Mathematics of Language, to be held in conjunction with the European Summer School in 
Logic, Language and Information, which takes place in 2005 in Edinburgh.

Previous Formal Grammar meetings were held in Barcelona (1995), Prague (1996), Aix-en-
Provence (1997), Saarbruecken (1998), Utrecht (1999), Helsinki (2001), Trento (2002), 
Vienna (2003) and Nancy (2004).

MoL meetings are organized biennially by the Association for Mathematics of Language, 
which is a Special Interest Group of the Association for Computational Linguistics. This is the 
second time the two events are held in tandem, following the success of FG-MOL 2001.

Aims and Scope

FG-MOL provides a forum for the presentation of new and original research on formal 
grammar, mathematical linguistics and the application of formal and mathematical methods 
to the study of natural language.

Invited Speakers
TBA

NOTE: Notification of Intent to Submit/Attend

Due to the difficulty of reserving housing in Edinburgh in August, we will need to make a firm 
commitment for the number of rooms by early February. Consequently, we are asking those 
who intend to submit papers to the conference to submit a preliminary abstract by January 
31st, with the full paper being due by April 1st. We will also need requests for housing from 
those who will be attending but not presenting a paper by the January 31st.
Submission Details

We invite electronic submissions of original, unpublished 30-minute papers (including 
questions, comments, and discussion). Because of the housing restrictions, submission 
involves three steps.

1. Notification of Intent to Submit
      Preliminary abstracts, of no more than 1000 words, must be submitted via web-from at 
http://cs.haifa.ac.il/~shuly/fg05/intent.html no later than January 31, 2005. Preliminary 
abstracts are not anonymous, but will not be seen by anyone who will be involved in making 
acceptance decisions on any individual papers.

2. Request for Housing
      Those intending to stay in conference housing, including those intending to submit a 
paper, must submit a request via the same web-form at http://cs.haifa.ac.il/~shuly/fg05/
intent.html no later than January 31, 2005. We will be reserving a block of rooms in 
Edinburgh student accommodations on Arthur's Seat for the nights of 4--7/August with 
estimated cost of about GBP 40 per night (singles only). We can only guarantee 
accommodations for those who have requested them by this date. Requests from those 
submitting papers may be (but do not have to be) contingent on acceptance of their paper. 
Requests other than those for authors of submitted papers are binding and must be 
accompanied by a 30% deposit.

3. Paper submission
      Papers must be submitted using a dedicated web-based form by April 1, 2005. Papers 
should be anonymous and refrain from self-reference. They should be no longer than 8 
pages. Submissions should be prepared in plain text (ASCII) or PDF. Preparation of the 
manuscript in LaTeX is highly recommended. Revised versions will be required to be in 
LaTeX, but assistance in translating to LaTeX form will be available.

Proceedings

Accepted abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings, to be distributed at the 
conference. Full, revised versions will be published after the conference as CSLI 
Publications Online Proceedings.

Depending on the quality of the papers, we will consider publishing a selected number of 
them in a special issue of Research on Language and Computation.

Social Program

A conference dinner is planned for Saturday, August 6th. More details will be published in 
due course.

Registration and accommodation

On-line registration forms for the conference and for conference housing will available no 
later than March 1st. Registration will include membership in ACL ($60/$30 students) for 
those who are not current members. There will be a discount for early registration (by May 
31st).

CONFERENCE LANGUAGES : French/English
******************************************************

The general topic of this conference is early ontogenetic development and its relation to the 
phylogeny of language.

It is generally assumed in the field of the ontogeny of language that the child's first years of 
life are particularly crucial. This period is even sometimes considered as predictive at least 
in the short term, of the later abilities to communicate. During these first two years, 
phonetico-phonological, lexical and morpho-syntactic skills chronologically emerge. 
Explanations are provided for this sequence of development: the increase of articulatory 
control allows for example for the growth and diversification of vocabulary. Similarly, once a 
certain amount of words is acquired, the child starts to combine linguistic units and develops 
the morpho-syntactic aspects of his/her native language. The study of the development of 
communication also needs to include the gestural component since children use commonly 
also gestures instead of words.

Ontogenesis was often proposed as a source of knowledge about phylogenesis by virtue of 
the famous principle according to which "ontogenesis recapitulates phylogenesis". However, 
the validity of this principle that initially has concerned a specific domain (embryology) 
deserves careful evaluation in its applications to specific domains.
The first aim of this conference is to bring together researchers working on the development 
of phonetico-phonological, lexical and morpho-syntactic developments in children under age 
3.

Our second aim is to evaluate if, and to what extent, language is a domain to which this 
principle applies. In the pursuit of that goal, we request the contribution of researchers 
addressing the issue of similarities and differences between the development of language in 
children and in early hominids.

	Topics
* Comparisons between ontogenetic and phylogenetic development,
* Language development before age thee: phonetics, phonology, lexical semantics, 
morphosyntax, 
* Communicative media (gestural and oral),
* Crosslinguistic and cross-species comparisons,

LANGUE DE LA CONFÉRENCE : français/anglais
******************************************************

Le thème général de cette conférence est l?ontogenèse précoce du langage et ses relations 
à la phylogenèse.
Sur le plan ontogénétique, il est communément admis que les premières manifestations 
verbales de l?enfant sont particulièrement déterminantes de son développement linguistique 
ultérieur. Certains vont même jusqu?à leur attribuer une valeur prédictive au moins à court et 
moyen termes des habiletés à communiquer. Les premières années voient émerger 
chronologiquement chez l?enfant des compétences sur les plans phonético-phonologiques, 
lexicaux et morphosyntaxiques. Il est possible de rendre compte de l?ordre observé : la 
maîtrise croissante du contrôle articulatoire favorise par exemple un développement et une 
diversification du répertoire lexical. De même, à partir d?une certaine quantité de 
vocabulaire, l?enfant entre dans la combinaison des unités linguistiques et développe les 
aspects morpho-syntaxiques de sa langue maternelle. L?étude du développement de la 
communication ne saurait ignorer non plus sa composante gestuelle : tous les enfants 
utilisent certains gestes à la place des mots.
L?ontogenèse a souvent été proposée comme une source de renseignements sur la 
phylogenèse en vertu du fameux principe selon lequel l?ontogenèse récapitulerait la 
phylogenèse. Cependant, la validité de ce principe proposé initialement dans un domaine 
spécifique (embryologie) est actuellement discutée dans ses applications à d?autres 
domaines.
Le premier objectif de cette conférence est de rassembler des chercheurs travaillant sur le 
développement de la production phonético-phonologique, lexicale et morpho-syntaxique 
avant trois ans. La production pourra inclure également les gestes.
Le deuxième objectif sera d?évaluer si et dans quelle mesure le langage est un domaine 
auquel ce principe peut s?appliquer. Dans cette discussion, nous sollicitons la contribution de 
chercheurs s?intéressant à la question des similarités et des différences entre l?émergence 
du langage chez l?enfant et chez les premiers hominidés.


Thèmes 

* Comparaisons entre ontogenèse et phylogenèse,
* Développement du langage avant 3 ans : phonétique, phonologie, sémantique lexicale, 
morphosyntaxe,
* Média de communication (gestes et oral),
* Comparaisons à travers les langues et à travers les espèces
