Background

FG is a series of conferences on Formal Grammar, held in conjunction with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information, which takes place yearly in Europe. See a description of past meetings.

Aims and Scope

FG 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.

Current conference

FG-2008 will take place in Hamburg, Germany, on August 9-10, 2008, in conjunction with ESSLLI 2008.
