Meeting Description:

The Institute of Linguistics and Language Technology at the University of
Malta is pleased to announce the 3rd Dynamic Syntax Conference that will take
place at the University of Malta Valletta Campus on the 16th-17th of May,
2019.  

Dynamic Syntax (Cann et al. 2005; Kempson et al. 2001, 2011) is a grammar
formalism designed to reflect directly the time-linear dimension of natural
language processing. It has been applied to a range of natural language
phenomena, exploring in particular the interaction between anaphora
resolution, ellipsis and structural forms of underspecification in
natural-language interpretation. It has been shown to provide a natural basis
for expressing typologies of relative clause structures, left-periphery
structures, and wh-questions, and has also been applied successfully in the
analysis and modelling of various dialogue phenomena.


Call for Papers:

Dynamic Syntax is a grammar formalism that directly models the dynamics of
parsing and production in real-time. On this view, linguistic knowledge is the
ability to process (parse and produce) language, incrementally, in context,
where syntax is recast as sets of constraints on the incremental building up
of semantic and contextual representations from words encountered in a
linguistic string.

The 3rd Dynamic Syntax Conference will bring together those using Dynamic
Syntax in their research, as well as those interested in the empirical,
computational, or theoretical issues surrounding Dynamic Syntax and its use. 

We especially welcome papers that engage with issues relating to parsing-based
approaches to the representation of natural language, incremental systems of
grammar, and/or the syntax-semantics and syntax-pragmatic interfaces, as well
as papers that compare other formalisms to Dynamic Syntax (formal properties,
problematic phenomena, etc). 

Keynote speakers:

- Eleni Gregoromichelaki (Heinrich Heine Universitaet & King's College London)
- Lutz Marten (SOAS University of London)

words (including references), alongside your personal details online at:

Abstract Submission Deadline: 4 of February, 2019

Notification of acceptance: 25 of February, 2019
