Report for SIGMOL, Mathematics of Language, May 2008
Gerhard Jaeger

Our last bi-annual meeting, MoL-10, took place July 28-30, 2007,
at the University of California at Los Angeles.

23 papers were submitted of which 13 were selected for the regular
program. The 50th anniversary of the publication of Chomsky's
"Syntactic Structures" was commemorated with a special session, where
Geoffrey Pullum (Edinurgh) and Marcus Tomalin (Cambridge/UK) gave
invited talks.

Preproceedings containing all contributed papers were published as
technical report of the UCLA Department of Linguistics. It is planned
to publish postproceedings as a special issue of the Journal of Logic,
Language and Information (JoLLI); preparations are under way.

Gerhard Jaeger (University of Bielefeld, Germany) became president of
SIGMOl in July 2007 (the election had taken place in 2006). In April
2008, new elections were conducted. Marcus Kracht (UCLA) was elected
vice president/president elect.

In January 2008, SIGMOL launched its new website. For that purpose, we
leased the URL http://www.molweb.org for five years. The lease was
payed by the Faculty of Linguistics of Bielefeld University.

In May 2008, SIGMOL decided (via an email ballot) to have its next
meeting in summer 2009 in Bielefeld. It is currently under discussion
whether this meeting will be collocated with the conference "Logical
Aspects of Computational Linguistics".

A draft for a constution of SIGMOL is currently under discussion and
will most likely be adopted within the next weeks.
