BACKGROUND

FG-2017 is the 22nd conference on Formal Grammar, to be held in
conjunction with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and
Information, which in 2017 will take place in Toulouse, France.

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

(2013), Tübingen (2014), Barcelona (2015), and Bozen-Bolzano
(2016).


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.


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:

The submission deadline is **March 28, 2017**. Papers must be
submitted electronically at EasyChair:

Submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least three reviewers.
Accepted papers will be published as a volume in the Springer LNCS
series, under the FoLLI subline, jointly with the papers from FG 2018.
