Call for Papers:
Universal Dependencies (UD) is a framework for cross-linguistically
consistent treebank annotation that has so far been applied to over
150 languages (https://universaldependencies.org ). The framework is
aiming to capture similarities as well as idiosyncrasies among
typologically different languages (e.g., morphologically rich
languages, pro-drop languages, and languages featuring clitic
doubling). The goal in developing UD was not only to support
comparative evaluation and cross-lingual learning but also to
facilitate multilingual natural language processing and enable
comparative linguistic studies.
The Universal Dependencies Workshop series was started to create a
forum for discussion of the theory and practice of UD, its use in
research and development, and its future goals and challenges. Some of
the previous workshops have been co-located with Coling, EMNLP, and
SyntaxFest. We invite papers on all topics relevant to UD, including
but not limited to:
Theoretical foundations and universal guidelines
Linguistic analysis of specific languages and/or constructions
Language typology and linguistic universals
Treebank annotation, conversion and validation
Word segmentation, morphological tagging and syntactic parsing
The use of the UD data for evaluating or understanding language models
Linguistic studies based on the UD data
Priority will be given to papers that adopt a cross-lingual
perspective.

SyntaxFest 2025
SyntaxFest is a biennial event that brings together a series of events
focusing on topics such as empirical syntax, linguistic annotation,
statistical language analysis, and natural language processing. Apart
from the 8th UDW, it hosts TLT, DepLing, IWPT, and Quasy.  Each
workshop publishes its own proceedings, but all events follow a shared
submission process, timeline, and programme. The UniDive 1st Shared
Task on Morphosyntactic Parsing takes place on Aug, 26.
