Background

FG-2013 is the 18th conference on Formal Grammar, to be held in
conjunction with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and
Information, which takes place in 2013 in Duesseldorf, Germany.

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), Nancy (2004), Edinburgh
(2005), Malaga (2006), Dublin (2007), Hamburg (2008), Bordeaux (2009),
Copenhagen (2010), Ljubljana (2011) and Opole (2012).


Aims and Scope

FG 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 and
  linguistics;
* mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to linguistic
  analysis.

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

We invite **electronic** submissions of original, 16-page papers
(including references and possible technical appendices).  Authors are
encouraged to use the Springer-Verlag LNCS style:
