Location: Toledo, Spain 
Contact Person: M.Dolores Jiménez-López

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Linguistic Theories 

Call Deadline: 05-Feb-2018 

Meeting Description:

The main objective of this special session is to bring together researchers
from different areas that have in common their interest on linguistic
complexity, regarding formal and/or natural languages. We want to boost the
interchange of knowledge and methods between specialists that have approached
linguistic complexity from different viewpoints.  

In order to promote interdisciplinarity among researchers that are dealing
with any type of linguistic (natural or formal) complexity, we are interested
in contributions introducing methods, models, definitions and measures to
assess complexity. We are interested in computational and formal approaches to
linguistic complexity.


Call for Papers:

Complexity has become an important concept in several scientific disciplines.
There has been a lot of research on complexity and complex systems in natural
sciences, economics and social sciences. Complexity has always been a central
topic in area of formal languages and now also increasingly in natural
language research.
