# First Call for Papers
The Association for Mathematics of Language invites submissions to its
biennial conference, MoL, which will be held July 25-26, 2015, at the
University of Chicago. The meeting takes place on the last weekend of
the Linguistic Summer Institute of the Linguistic Society of America.
## Description
MoL is devoted to the study of mathematical structures and methods
that are of importance to the description of language. Contributions
to all areas of this field are welcome. Specific topics within the
scope of the conference include, but are not limited to the following:
* formal and computational analysis of linguistic theories and frameworks
* learnability of formal grammars
* proof-theoretic, model-theoretic and type-theoretic methods in linguistics
* mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to language analysis
* formal models of language use and language change
## Submissions
MoL invites the submission of papers on original, substantial,
completed, and unpublished research. Each submission will be reviewed
by at least three members of the program committee. Papers presented
at the conference will be included in the conference proceedings,
which will be published in the ACL Anthology
(http://aclweb.org/anthology/).
All submissions must follow the style set out in the conference style
files, which are available at the conference website. They must not
exceed twelve (12) pages of technical content, but may have an
unlimited number of extra pages for references.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences is allowed, provided that
the authors indicate which other conferences the paper is submitted
to. A paper is accepted on the condition that it will not be
presented at any other venue.
MoL uses the EasyChair conference management system for submission,
reviewing and preparation of proceedings:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mol2015
Submissions must be uploaded to this system electronically in PDF
format no later than (end of day, Anywhere on Earth) Friday, March 13,
2015.
