The 15th Conference on Formal Grammar
Copenhagen, Denmark, August 7-8, 2010
http://www.angl.hu-berlin.de/FG10

Collocated with the European Summer School
in Logic, Language and Information


Background

FG-2010 is the 15th conference on Formal Grammar, to be held in
conjunction with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and
Information, which takes place in 2010 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

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) and Bordeaux (2009).


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,

o formal and computational phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics
and pragmatics;
o model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics;
o logical aspects of linguistic structure;
o constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar;
o learnability of formal grammar;
o integration of stochastic and symbolic models of grammar;
o foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar;
o mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to linguistic analysis.

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


Proceedings

Submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least three
reviewers. Accepted papers will be published after the conference in
the LNCS series of Springer.
