             CONSTRAINT GRAMMAR WORKSHOP - CALL FOR PAPERS

              Constraint Grammar - Methods, Tools and Applications

in conjunction with NoDaLiDa 2019, Turku, Finland, September 30, 2019

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


This workshop on practical and theoretical aspects of CG will be
co-located with NoDaLiDa 2019 in Turku. The new edition of the workshop
continues the tradition of CG workshops at NoDaLiDa, unbroken since
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. CG has always elicited a strong
interest from researchers working on less-resourced languages, and we
therefore explicitly welcome work targeting minor languages, such as the
Sami languages, Greenlandic, Faroese, Tibetan and the Celtic languages.

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 2019 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.
