Meeting Description:

The Workshop on Tree-Adjoining Grammars and Related Formalisms (TAG+) is a
workshop series, inaugurated in 1990, that fosters exchange of ideas among
linguists, psycholinguists, and computer scientists interested in modelling
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 (CCG), Head-Driven Phrase
Structure Grammar (HPSG), Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG), Minimalist Grammar
(MG), and dependency grammars; 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-fertilisation 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 modelling of natural language.

This edition of TAG+ will be co-located with the 13th International Conference
on Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing (FSMNLP;
http://fsmnlp2017.cs.umu.se), fostering the scientific exchange between the
two research communities. The meeting will include a number of joint tutorial
presentations, designed to introduce attendees to a range of topics relevant
to both communities. TAG+ is endorsed by the ACL Special Interest Groups on
Finite-State Methods (SIGFSM) and on Mathematics of Language (SIGMOL).


4–6 September 2017

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,
discourse, and language generation
- Machine learning models
- Corpus-based research and grammar development
- Psycholinguistic modelling
- Applications to natural language processing or other areas

Submission Details:

Submissions are made in two stages: submission of a preliminary abstract (used
to assign suitable reviewers), and later submission of the full paper. Papers
