Aims and Scope:

MOL (Mathematics of Language) is a biennial conference devoted to the mathematical study of languages and linguistics.  Contributions to all areas of this field are welcome.  The topics within the scope of the conference include, but are by no means limited to:

- Complexity and generative capacity of grammar formalisms
- Formal analysis of linguistic theories and frameworks
- Model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics
- Mathematical foundations of statistical and stochastic approaches to language analysis
- Formal models of language use and language change

Submission Guideline:

We invite submission of original, unpublished papers suitable for 30-minute presentations.  Papers should report original work which has not been presented at other conferences with published proceedings. Simultaneous submission to other conferences is allowed, provided that the authors indicate which other conferences the paper is submitted to.  A paper is  accepted on the condition that it will not be presented at any other venues.

Papers should not exceed 18 pages, including references and appendices (if any), and should be prepared in LaTeX using the Springer LNCS class files available atftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip.

Papers must be submitted electronically at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mol12.
Submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least three reviewers.

Proceedings:

The proceedings will be published by the time of the conference in the FoLLI LNAI subline of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
