 	FORMAL GRAMMAR/MATHEMATICS OF LANGUAGE CONFERENCE

 		 August 10--12, 2001

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

We are pleased to announce the joint meeting of two conferences:
the sixth conferene on Formal Grammar and the seventh on the
Mathematics of Language. The joint meeting will be held just prior
to the European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information.


AIMS and SCOPE

FGMOL'01 provides a forum for the presentation of new and original
research on formal grammar and mathematical aspects of language,
especially with regard to the application of formal methods to natural
language analysis.

Themes of interest include, but are not limited to,


* formal and computational syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and phonology;
* model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics;
* constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar;
* foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar.
* mathematical properties of linguistic frameworks
* theories and models of natural language processing and generation
* parsing theory
* statistical and quantitative models of language

INVITED SPEAKERS will be announced with the circulation
of the second call for papers in early February
