Call for Papers:

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.

FORMAL GRAMMAR-SEMSPACE JOINT SESSION:

The program will include a special session on the relevance of formal grammar
methods in deep learning and other statistical and vector space approaches to
language. Examples of phenomena where these methods come into play include
(but of course are not limited to) anaphora resolution, long-range filler-gap
dependencies, function-argument relations, locality domains, and syntactic
structures in general. This session is organised jointly with the Workshop on
Semantic Spaces at the Intersection of NLP, Physics, and Cognitive Sciences
(SemSpace2020 [https://sites.google.com/view/semspace2020], organizers: Martha
Lewis (ILLC, Amsterdam), Michael Moortgat (Utrecht University)).

SUBMISSION DETAILS:

We invite *electronic* submissions of original, 16-page papers (including
references and possible technical appendices). Authors are encouraged to use
the Springer-Verlag LNCS style:

http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

The submission deadline is *March 15, 2020*. Papers must be *anonymous* and
submitted electronically at EasyChair:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fg2020

Papers should report original work which was not presented in other
conferences. However, simultaneous submission is allowed, provided that the
authors indicate other conferences to which the work was
submitted in a footnote. Note that accepted papers can only be presented in
one of the venues.  Please indicate whether your paper should be considered
for the Formal Grammar-SemSpace joint session.

Submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least three reviewers.

IMPORTANT DATES:

+ March 15, 2020: Deadline for paper submission
+ May 6, 2020: Notification of acceptance
+ May 19, 2020: Camera ready copies due
+ August 8-9, 2020: Conference dates
