             CONSTRAINT GRAMMAR WORKSHOP - CALL FOR PAPERS

              Constraint Grammar - Methods, Tools and Applications

in conjunction with NoDaLiDa 2023, Thórshavn, Faroe Islands, May 22, 2023

=============================================================================


This workshop on practical and theoretical aspects of CG will be
co-located with NoDaLiDa 2023 in Thórshavn. The new edition of the
workshop continues the tradition of CG workshops at NoDaLiDa, which
started in 2005. Apart from the traditional field of corpus-oriented
tagging and parsing, Constraint Grammar continues to inspire
applicational work, providing a robust NLP backbone in end user-oriented
systems in various areas of language technology, such as spell and
grammar checking, comma correction, ICALL, machine translation,
lexicography and others. We therefore envision workshop contributions
both regarding basic grammatical research and corpus linguistics on the
one hand, and CG-based applications on the other hand. Constraint
Grammar has always elicited a strong interest from researchers working
on less-resourced languages, such as the Sami languages, Greenlandic,
Faroese, Tibetan and the Celtic languages, for which we explicitly
invite both finished and ongoing work. Finally, there will be room for
methodological contributions on the CG formalism itself regarding either
its expressive power or improvements in compiler implementation.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

We invite contributions concerning CG grammars for various languages or
CG systems used in tools and applications. Research reports from fields
relevant to the CG framework on the input side - such as finite-state
analyzers, ontologies etc. - are also welcome. Finally, we are hoping
for methodological contributions and experiments exploiting advances in
expressive power in the most widely used CG compiler, CG-3. As usual, we
encourage short papers on ongoing work.

The workshop will be organized as a half-day workshop with both full and
short papers. Contributions will be reviewed anonymously, and the papers
will be published in the NoDaLiDa 2023 workshop proceedings.

We invite extended abstracts, approximately 1500 words (for an 8 page
full paper) or 750 words (for a 4 page short paper) - additional pages
with bibliographic references not included.

Final full versions of accepted papers can be submitted after the
workshop, and will be published in the NEALT Proceedings Series by
Linköping University Electronic Press.
