Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Linguistic Theories; Syntax; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 28-Apr-2019 

Meeting Description:

Quantitative syntax analysis benefits from the thriving of structured language
data in (computational) linguistics and the growing popularity of statistical
methods inside the linguistic community. Despite the rapid development of
Corpus and Treebanks, the linguistic potential of combining such structured
data with statistical methods remains unexplored. Quasy 2019 responds to the
growing need for linguistic meetings dedicated to quantitative syntax analysis
and theorizing that is based on empirical data. The meeting is held under the
auspices of the International Quantitative Linguistics Association (IQLA).


Call for Papers:

Workshop Topics:

Topics include but are not limited to:

- Descriptions of all aspects of syntax related phenomena, including but not
limited to psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, language typology, language
acquisition, stylometry, translation, etc., as far as they use quantitative
methods based on empirical language data;
- Methods to explore and analyze corpora, treebanks or any other empirical
data which serve syntax analysis;
- Theoretical studies based on syntax data (hypothesis testing);
- Investigations into interrelations among syntactic factors;
- Discussions about linguistic units or the impact of annotation styles in
syntax analysis;
- Syntactic structures (tree structures, valency structures,...) and their
distributions;
- Syntax modeling and its applications;
- Word order investigations;

Invited Speakers:

TBA

Paper Submission Information:

Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work
rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion
of the reported results. Submissions will be judged on correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance and relevance to the conference,
and interest to the attendees.

Papers must be submitted in PDF format through the SyntaxFest EasyChair site
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=syntaxfest2019).

On the submission page, authors submit their paper only once for the whole
SyntaxFest, composed of 4 conferences, but they can uncheck 
conferences they do not wish their paper to be considered for. If the paper is
deemed appropriate for more than one of the selected conferences, the
SyntaxFest joint organization committee decides on the final placement of the
paper, which implies the day of the presentation and the proceedings the paper
will appear in.

We invite two types of submissions: Long papers and short papers. Long papers
may consist of up to 10 pages of content (excluding references). Short papers
may consist of up to 6 pages of content (excluding references).

All submissions should follow the one-column format and the style guidelines.
Submissions will have to be in LaTeX, OpenDocument, or Microsoft Word
templates created for the SyntaxFest 2019. These materials will be provided
later on. Reviewing of papers will be double-blind. Therefore, the paper must
not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references
that reveal the author's identity, e.g., ''We previously showed (Zeng, 2018)
...'', must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as ''Zeng (2018)
previously showed ...''. Papers that do not conform to these requirements will
be rejected without review.

Conference Proceedings:

Quasy Proceedings will be published in the ACL Anthology

Important Dates:

Submission deadlines: April 28, 2019 for long papers and June 5, 2019 for
short papers.

Notification of acceptance: June 4 for long papers, July 1 for short papers

Camera ready: June 26 for long papers, July 10 for short papers

Quasy workshop: August 26, 2019. Attendants are encouraged but not obliged to
participate in the whole SyntaxFest (August 26-30, 2019)
