6th International Workshop on
Tree Adjoining Grammars and Related Frameworks
20-23 May 2002
Venice, Italy
http://www.ircs.upenn.edu/tag/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sponsors: University of Padua, University of Venice,
Institute for Scientific and Technological Research
(ITC-IRST), and Institute for Research in Cognitive
Science (IRCS)
GOALS AND SCOPE
The Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG) formalism has been studied for some
time, both for its mathematical properties and computational
applications, as well as for its role in constructing grammatical
theories and models of language processing. Over the years, these
lines of inquiry have fed off of one another: empirical consequences
have been derived from TAG's mathematical restrictiveness, and
extensions to the TAG formalism have been motivated by the exigencies
of grammatical analysis. One of the main goals of the TAG+6, then, is
to bring together the full range of researchers interested in the TAG
formalism, to continue the kinds of productive interaction that have
been the hallmark of TAG research. We anticipate holding sessions
devoted to syntactic theory, mathematical properties, computational
and algorithmic studies of parsing and generation, psycholinguistic
modeling, and applications to natural language processing.
It has been observed for some time that a range of grammatical
frameworks, for example minimalist syntax, categorial grammar,
dependency grammars, HPSG, and LFG, share certain properties with the
TAG formalism. Such properties include lexicalization of syntactic
structure, a conception of syntactic derivation rooted in generalized
transformations, a simple notion of local grammatical dependency, and
mildly context sensitive generative capacity. A second main goal of
TAG+6, and the reason for the + in the workshop's name, is to better
understand these connections between TAG and other related grammatical
frameworks. In addition to submitted papers on such connections,
TAG+6 will also include invited presentations by experts on some of
these related grammatical frameworks. They will be announced later in
the fall.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
We invite submissions on all aspects of TAG and related
systems. Anonymous abstracts may be submitted for two sorts
of presentations at the workshop: long talks, which will be
40 minutes in length, and short talks, 20 minutes in length.
Regardless of type of submission, abstracts may not exceed
two pages in length (not including data, figures and
references). All abstracts must be submitted electronically
to the following address:
tag6 at ircs.upenn.edu
Please use 'Abstract' as the Subject header and include,
below the abstract, the following information, which should
constitute the body of the message:
1. Name(s) of author(s)
2. Affiliation(s)
3. E-mail address(es)
4. Postal address(es)
5. Title of talk
6. Preference for long or short presentation
The anonymous abstract may then be included either in the
body of the message in ASCII format, or else as a PDF
attachment.
Abstract Submission Deadline: January 30, 2002
Notification Of Acceptance: March 1, 2002
PROCEEDINGS
Proceedings including an extended (4 page) version of all
accepted abstracts will be distributed at the workshop.
Camera-ready copies of these extended versions will be due
April 1, 2002.
