FGMOL'01
FORMAL GRAMMAR / MATHEMATICS OF LANGUAGE CONFERENCE
Friday morning (9.00) August 10--Sunday afternoon (17.50) August 12, 2001
Helsinki
in conjunction with the
European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information
(ESSLLI XIII)
*************************************************************************
AIMS & SCOPE
FGMOL'01 will provide a forum for the presentation of new and original
research on formal grammar and mathematical aspects of language,
especially with regard to the application of formal methods to natural
language analysis. Themes of interest include, but are not limited to:
* formal and computational syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and phonology;
* model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics;
* constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar;
* foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar;
* mathematical properties of linguistic frameworks;
* theories and models of natural language processing and generation;
* parsing theory;
* statistical and quantitative models of language.
