Call for Papers

Background

FG-MOL 2005 is the 10th conference on Formal Grammar and the 9th Meeting on
the Mathematics of Language, to be held in conjunction with the European
Summer School in Logic, Language and Information, which takes place in 2005
in Edinburgh.

Previous Formal Grammar meetings were held in Barcelona (1995), Prague
(1996), Aix-en-Provence (1997), Saarbruecken (1998), Utrecht (1999),
Helsinki (2001), Trento (2002), Vienna (2003) and Nancy (2004).

MoL meetings are organized biennially by the Association for Mathematics of
Language, which is a Special Interest Group of the Association for
Computational Linguistics. This is the second time the two events are held
in tandem, following the success of FG-MOL 2001.

Aims and Scope

FG-MOL 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;
     * mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to linguistic
	analysis.

Previous conferences in this series have welcomed papers from a wide
variety of frameworks.

Invited Speakers
TBA

NOTE: Notification of Intent to Submit/Attend

Due to the difficulty of reserving housing in Edinburgh in August, we will
need to make a firm commitment for the number of rooms by early February.
Consequently, we are asking those who intend to submit papers to the
conference to submit a preliminary abstract by January 31st, with the full
paper being due by April 1st. We will also need requests for housing from
those who will be attending but not presenting a paper by the January 31st.

Submission Details

We invite electronic submissions of original, unpublished 30-minute papers
(including questions, comments, and discussion). Because of the housing
restrictions, submission involves three steps.

1.  Notification of Intent to Submit

Preliminary abstracts, of no more than 1000 words, must be submitted via
web-from at
http://cs.haifa.ac.il/~shuly/fg05/intent.html
no later than January 31, 2005. Preliminary abstracts are not anonymous, but
will not be seen by anyone who will be involved in making acceptance decisions
on any individual papers.

2.  Request for Housing

Those intending to stay in conference housing, including those intending to
submit a paper, must submit a request via the same web-form at
http://cs.haifa.ac.il/~shuly/fg05/intent.html
no later than January 31, 2005. We will be reserving a block of rooms in
Edinburgh student accommodations on Arthur's Seat for the nights of 4--7/August
with estimated cost of about GBP 40 per night (singles only). We can only
guarantee accommodations for those who have requested them by this date.
Requests from those submitting papers may be (but do not have to be) contingent
on acceptance of their paper. Requests other than those for authors of submitted
papers are binding and must be accompanied by a 30% deposit.

3.  Paper submission

Papers must be submitted using a dedicated web-based form by April 1, 2005.
Papers should be anonymous and refrain from self-reference. They should be
no longer than 8 pages. Submissions should be prepared in plain text
(ASCII) or PDF. Preparation of the manuscript in LaTeX is highly
recommended. Revised versions will be required to be in LaTeX, but
assistance in translating to LaTeX form will be available.

Proceedings

Accepted abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings, to be
distributed at the conference. Full, revised versions will be published
after the conference as CSLI Publications Online Proceedings.

Depending on the quality of the papers, we will consider publishing a
selected number of them in a special issue of Research on Language and
Computation.

Social Program

A conference dinner is planned for Saturday, August 6th. More details will
be published in due course.

Registration and accommodation

On-line registration forms for the conference and for conference housing
will available no later than March 1st. Registration will include
membership in ACL ($60/$30 students) for those who are not current members.
There will be a discount for early registration (by May 31st).
