    Call for Papers -- FGNancy: The 9th conference on Formal Grammar

    Collocated with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information Nancy, France, 7-8 August 2004 http://cs.haifa.ac.il/~shuly/fg04/

    Background

    FGNancy is the 9th conference on Formal Grammar held in conjunction with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information, which takes place in 2004 in Nancy. Previous meetings were held in Barcelona (1995), Prague (1996), Aix-en-Provence (1997), Saarbruecken (1998), Utrecht (1999), Helsinki (2001), Trento (2002) andVienna (2003).

    Aims and Scope

    FGNancy provides a forum for the presentation of new and original research on formal grammar, with particular regard to the application of formal methods to natural language analysis.

    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; - 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.

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

    Invited Speakers Two invited talks will be delivered by distinguished researchers. Speakers and titles will be published in due course.

    We invite e-mail submissions of original, unpublished 30-minute papers (including questions, comments, and discussion). A submission should consist of two parts:

    1. an information sheet (in plain text), containing: - title, - the name of the author(s), - affiliation(s), - one e-mail address for the corresponding author, - if the same paper is under review for some other conference, the name of that conference. 2. an anonymous abstract, consisting of a description of not more than 8 pages, including figures and references.
