Linguistic Field(s): Syntax 

Call Deadline: 27-Sep-2021 

Meeting Description:

The Second International Workshop on Quantitative Syntax (Quasy 2021) will be
held in Sofia in November 2021.

Aims: 
Quantitative syntax analysis benefits from the thriving of structured language
data in the (computational) linguistics field 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 2021
responds to the growing need for linguistic meetings dedicated to quantitative
syntax analysis and theorizing that is based on empirical data. 

Selected topics of interest: 
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 (e.g. hypothesis testing)
 - Investigations into interrelations among syntactic factors
 - Discussions about linguistic units in syntax analysis
 - Impact of annotation styles 
 - Syntactic structures (tree structures, valency structures,...) and their
distributions
 - Syntax modelling and its applications
 - Word order investigations


Call for Papers: 

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.

Submission page: 
Papers must be submitted in PDF format exclusively through the SyntaxFest
joint submission page (available soon). All submissions will be done on the
Easychair website. The link will be published shortly.

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.

Paper length: 
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).

Style guidelines: 
All submissions should follow the one-column COLING 2020 style guidelines
provided as LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word templates (templates might be
subject to slight modifications for compatibility reasons). The files will be
available soon here.

Double-blind reviews: 
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.

Proceedings: 
For the authors' convenience, despite the conference being held in March 2022,
the Proceedings of Depling 2021 will be published in December 2021 in the ACL
Anthology.
