Second Call for Papers
Background:
MOL 11 is the 11th Meeting on the Mathematics of Language, to be held at
the University of Bielefeld in Germany on August 20/21, 2009.
MoL meetings are organized biennially by the Association for Mathematics of
Language, which is a Special Interest Group of the Association for
Computational
Linguistics. The location of the meeting usually alternates between Europe
and
the U.S. Previous meetings were held at UCLA (2007), the University of
Edinburgh
(2005), and the University of Indiana (2003).
Aims and Scope:
MOL (Mathematics of Language) is a biannual conference devoted to the
mathematical study of languages and linguistics. Contributions to all areas
of
this field are welcome. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- complexity and generative capacity of languages
- formal analysis of linguistic theories and frameworks
- model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics
- mathematical foundations of statistical and stochastic approaches to
language
analysis
- formal models of language use and language change
Invited Speakers:
Andras Kornai (MetaCarta, Cambridge/MA)
Giorgio Satta (University of Padua)
Submission Details
We invite submissions of extended abstracts of maximally 8 pages (A4 or
letter,
