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. Additionally, 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).

2nd Call for Papers: 

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

Anonymous manuscripts (note: not abstracts as in past years) should follow the
format of the ACL 2016 proceedings (http://acl2016.org/index.php?article_id=9)
and may not exceed eight pages in length (not including references); papers
that are shorter than eight pages are also acceptable.

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

Simultaneous submissions to TAG+ and to a conference (but not another
workshop) are allowed. According to the ACL double submission policy
(https://www.aclweb.org/archive/policies/current/double-submission-policy.html
), doubly-submitted papers should indicate this fact on the title page. If
accepted at the other conference, these papers may be withdrawn from TAG+ no
later than 25 May.

Papers may be presented at the workshop in one of two formats, as determined
by the program committee: oral presentations and poster presentations. Poster
presentations are particularly appropriate for brief descriptions of
specialized implementations, resources under development and work in progress.

Proceedings including full papers will be available on-line in the ACL
Anthology before the workshop.

Important dates
- Deadline for submission of papers: 8 Apr 2016
- Notification to authors of decision: 18 May 2016
- Deadline for camera-ready submission: 10 Jun 2016
- Workshop dates: 29 Jun to 1 Jul 2016
