The joint meeting will be held just prior to the European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information. AIMS and SCOPE FGMOL'01 provides a forum for the presentation of new and original research on formal grammar and mathematical aspects of language, especially with regard to the application of formal methods to natural language analysis. Themes of interest include, but are not limited to, * formal and computational syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and phonology; * model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics; * constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar; * foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar. * mathematical properties of linguistic frameworks * theories and models of natural language processing and generation * parsing theory * statistical and quantitative models of language SPECIAL SESSION on MODEL-THEORETIC SYNTAX There will be a special session of invited papers on model-theoretic syntax. The speakers will be Geoffrey K. Pullum (keynote), Patrick Blackburn, James Rogers, and Uwe Moennich. ADDITIONAL INVITED SPEAKERS to be announced. SUBMISSION DETAILS We invite E-MAIL submissions of abstracts for 30-minute papers (including questions, comments, and discussion). A submission should consist of two parts: - an information sheet (in ascii), containing the name of the author(s), affiliation(s), e-mail and postal address(es) and a title; - an abstract, consisting of a description of not more than 5 pages (including figures and references). Abstracts may be either in plain ASCII or in (unix-compatible encoded) postscript, PDF, or DVI. Abstracts can be sent to fgmol@cs.indiana.edu ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE April 1, 2001 NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE May 15, 2001 PROCEEDINGS A full version of each accepted paper will be included in the conference proceedings, to be distributed at the conference. Full papers are due June 30, 2001.
