Meeting Description:

The Workshop on Tree-Adjoining Grammars and Related Formalisms (TAG+) is a
biennial workshop series, inaugurated in 1990, that fosters exchange of ideas
among linguists, psycholinguists, and computer scientists interested in
modeling natural language using formal grammars. The scope of the workshop
includes Tree-Adjoining Grammars as well as other string, tree, and graph
grammar formalisms, such as combinatory categorial grammar, dependency
grammars, Minimalist grammars, HPSG, and LFG; hence the ”+” in the name of the
workshop.

Past workshops have helped identify similarities and differences between the
above formalisms, leading to the shared development of broad-coverage
grammars, transfer of parsing and machine learning algorithms from one
formalism to another and to new insights into the properties of different
formalisms and their capacity for linguistic explanation. This edition of the
workshop will enable further cross-fertilization of ideas that combine the
representational flexibility of TAG-like grammar formalisms with the
robustness afforded by machine learning techniques to produce a deeper insight
into modeling of natural language.

The first day of the meeting will be devoted to a series of tutorial
presentations, designed to introduce attendees to a range of TAG-related
topics.

This edition of TAG+ is endorsed by the ACL Special Interest Groups on
Mathematics of Language (SIGMOL) and Finite-State Methods (SIGFSM).

Call for Papers: 

Topics of Interest: We invite submissions on all aspects of TAG and related
grammatical formalisms including the following topics:

- syntactic and semantic theory
- mathematical properties
- computational and algorithmic studies of parsing, semantic analysis, and
language generation
- machine learning models using TAG-like representations
- corpus-based research and grammar development using TAG
- psycholinguistic modeling
- applications to natural language processing or other areas.

Submission Details: Anonymous manuscripts (note: not abstracts as in past
years) may be submitted for two types of presentations at the workshop: oral
presentations and poster presentations. Poster presentations are particularly
appropriate for brief descriptions of specialized implementations, resources
under development and work in progress.
Regardless of the type of submission, abstracts may not exceed eight pages in
length (not including references). Submissions should follow the format of the
ACL 2016 proceedings (http://acl2016.org/index.php?article_id=9).

The abstract must be submitted electronically in PDF format, using the
EasyChair electronic submission website
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tag12).

Proceedings including full papers will be available on-line in the ACL
Anthology (http://aclweb.org/anthology) before the workshop.

Important dates (exact dates to be determined):

Deadline for submission of abstracts: April 2016
Notification to authors of decision: May 2016
Deadline for camera-ready submission: June 2016
Workshop dates: 29 June to 1 July 2016
