Call for Papers (Special Issue)

Linguistic Issues in Language Technology (LiLT) 
Grammar Engineering: Precision Grammars

Precision grammars are encodings of linguistic knowledge in a representation
that is both interpretable by humans and and usable in parsers and sentence
generators, which aim to handle rare constructions as well as the more common
ones. 

LiLT solicits papers for a special issue on precision grammars, with a
particular interest in the following topics:

- Mixed or hybrid models of statistical and precision grammars
- Gradient grammaticality in precision grammars
- The use of machine learning and treebanks in creating precision grammars
- Parsing evaluation metrics that focus on evaluating the coverage of rare
phenomena
- Applications that show the importance/advantages of precision grammars; 
- Handling of cross linguistic generalizations and typological information in
multi-lingual projects
- Precision grammar projects on less-studied languages

The deadline for submissions is: October 31, 2015

Submissions should be sent to azaenen at stanford.edu

There is no special format required for submissions but accepted papers need
to be submitted in LATEX.

The editorial board for this issue is consists of Doug Arnold (University of
Essex), Emily Bender (University of Washington), Philippe Blache (Université
Aix-Marseille), Gerlof Bouma (University of Gothenburg) , Gosse Bouma
(University of Groningen), Miriam Butt (University of Konstanz), Eric De La
