Collocated with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information

Background:

FG-2016 is the 21th conference on Formal Grammar, to be held in conjunction
with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information, which
takes place in 2016 in Bozen-Bolzano, Italy.

Previous Formal Grammar meetings were held in Barcelona (1995), Prague (1996),
Aix-en-Provence (1997), Saarbrücken (1998), Utrecht (1999), Helsinki (2001),
Trento (2002), Vienna (2003), Nancy (2004), Edinburgh (2005), Malaga (2006),

(2011), Opole (2012), Düsseldorf (2013), Tübingen (2014) and Barcelona (2015).

Aims and Scope:

FG 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. Themes of interest
include, but are not limited to:

- Formal and computational phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and
pragmatics
- Model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics
- Logical aspects of linguistic structure
- Constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar
- Learnability of formal grammar
- Integration of stochastic and symbolic models of grammar
- Foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar and
linguistics
- Mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to linguistic analysis

Previous conferences in this series have welcomed papers from a wide variety
of frameworks.
