Membership
As of July 2025, there are 161 active members. The SIGPARSE mailing list was migrated from a self-hosted service (at the University of Oslo) to Google Groups (sadly) in 2024. This move caused a marked decimation in membership, both because invalid email addresses were filtered out and because members had to actively opt-in to the new service.
Recent and Upcoming Events
Upcoming: The next IWPT (the SIGPARSE conference) will be held in August 2025, as one of the events in SyntaxFest 2025 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. SIGPARSE is endorsing the four other SyntaxFest 2025 events: the 8th International Conference on Dependency Linguistics (Depling), the 23rd Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT), the 8th Universal Dependencies Workshop (UDW), and the 3rd Workshop on Quantitative Syntax (QUASY).
Recent: In 2024, SIGPARSE endorsed two workshops: the Joint Workshop on Multiword Expressions and Universal Dependencies (MWE-UD 2024) at LREC-COLING 2024, held in May, and the 22nd Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT 2024), held in December.
