BACKGROUND

FG 2020 is the 25th conference on Formal Grammar, to be held in
conjunction with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and
Information which, in 2020, will take place at the University of
Utrecht,
Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Previous Formal Grammar meetings were held in Barcelona (1995),
Prague
(1996), Aix-en-Provence (1997), Saarbrücken (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), Opole (2012), Düsseldorf
(2013),
Tübingen (2014), Barcelona (2015), Bozen-Bolzano (2016), Toulouse
(2017), Sofia (2018), and Riga (2019).

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.


FORMAL GRAMMAR-SEMSPACE JOINT SESSION

The program will include a special session on the relevance of
formal
grammar methods in deep learning and other statistical and vector
space approaches to language. Examples of phenomena where these
methods come into play include (but of course are not limited to)
anaphora resolution, long-range filler-gap dependencies,
function-argument relations, locality domains, and syntactic
structures in general. This session is organised jointly with the
Workshop on Semantic Spaces at the Intersection of NLP, Physics,
and
Cognitive Sciences (SemSpace2020
[https://sites.google.com/view/semspace2020], organizers: Martha
Lewis
(ILLC, Amsterdam), Michael Moortgat (Utrecht University)).

SUBMISSION DETAILS

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:
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

The submission deadline is *March 15, 2020*. Papers must be
*anonymous*  and submitted electronically at EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fg2020.

Papers should report original work which was not presented in
other
conferences. However, simultaneous submission is allowed, provided
that the authors indicate other conferences to which the work was
submitted in a footnote. Note that accepted papers can only be
presented in one of the venues.  Please indicate whether your
paper
should be considered for the Formal Grammar-SemSpace joint
session.

Submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least three
reviewers.
