Permanent research positions
by Olivier Bonami 18 Nov '21

18 Nov '21

[Apologies for cross-posting] The Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle (www.llf.cnrs.fr, LLF) is seeking to support applications in linguistics and language sciences to Research Associate positions at the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (cnrs.fr). CNRS Research Associate positions are full-time permanent positions intended for candidates in their early career. Applicants must hold a PhD by the application deadline. Knowledge of French is not required. Although CNRS recruits researchers by way of a national competition, applicants are encouraged to select one or more research labs to which they would like to be assigned, and support is crucial for a successful application. Located at Université de Paris (u-paris.fr), the LLF has about 80 members, including 36 permanent faculty members, working on every subfield of linguistics. In recent years, it has extended its focus from formal and theoretical linguistics to domains such as psycholinguistics, experimental linguistics, computational linguistics, dialogue, typology, and Sign language linguistics. The LLF is interested in supporting a limited number of applicants, with an excellent research record and willing to develop a project that would fit the lab's areas of inquiry. The official call for application will be published on December 7, 2021 with an application deadline of January 11, 2022 (https://www.dgdr.cnrs.fr/drhchercheurs/concoursch/default-en.htm). Prospective applicants that wish to be supported by the LLF are invited to contact the lab by December 11, sending a CV and a short description of their research profile to direction-llf(a)listes.univ-paris-diderot.fr. Decisions on whether support is granted will be taken by December 17.

Journal of Language Modelling
by Adam Przepiórkowski 18 Nov '21

18 Nov '21

Dear All, As the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Language Modelling ( https://jlm.ipipan.waw.pl/), I would like to cordially invite you to submit HPSG- and LFG-related papers to JLM. When we started JLM in 2012, we expected that such submissions might be the majority of JLM submissions, but this is definitely not the case: we often get more papers related to finite-state methods, neural network modelling, dependency approaches, categorial grammars, Tree Adjoining Grammar, Optimality Theory and Minimalism (for example, the last special issue, 9(1), features a paper by Noam Chomsky). In years 2013–2020, we published 8 LFG-related papers and only 5 HPSG-related papers, despite the fact that rejection rate in these areas has been very low during this period – we simply get very few submissions concerned with these two theories. So I would like to encourage both communities to submit to JLM. Submissions may be related to earlier publications in HPSG or LFG proceedings, but they must substantially go beyond the content of such prior publications and they must be of journal quality. Each submission is reviewed by three peers, so even if the paper does not make it to JLM, the authors usually get many useful comments. Each published paper is carefully proofread and typeset, so the final quality of JLM publications is – in my opinion – much higher than that of papers in journals published by big publishing houses (where, in my experience, typesetters introduce many more problems than they solve). JLM has the Diamond Open Access model – it's completely free for both authors and readers. Also, JLM is indexed in SCOPUS, ERIH Plus, etc., which might matter for the evaluation by national science funding bodies. We – JLM editors – very much hope to see many more HPSG and LFG sumbmissions in the future! Best regards, Adam Przepiórkowski P.S. Because of its Diamond Open Access model, much of the work in JLM – including all work by JLM editors – is done on voluntary basis. We are constantly looking for copyeditors – if you are a (near-)native speaker of English and know some LaTeX, please consider helping us for a year or two. Such voluntary cooperation with JLM looks great on the CV of young researchers (including PhD students) in linguistics and computational linguistics!

HPSG Handbook
by Stefan Müller 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Dear linguists, We want to inform you the the Language Science Press handbook on HPSG is published! It is open access and all chapters can be downloaded free of charge from this web page: https://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/259 You can also order printed copies in your local bookstore and if you want to ruin your cities and the planet also via amazon ... (amazon US seems a bit slow with its catalog, but it will work eventually). The price for the five volumes is sensational: 130€. Even more so because the chapter on gesture contains color photos. There is a way to read the book online and to work on it collaboratively: https://paperhive.org/documents/remote?type=langsci&id=259 You can comment the text there and see other people's comments. All comments are passed forward to our bug tracking system, so we can improve the book for the second edition. Typos? Content issues? General questions? The latex source of the book is on github and the list of references is also on the book webpage. Once I checked the references of my grammar theory text book, I will create a Zenodo group on syntax so that all these verified items are available there. I attach a file with all the bibtex items of the handbook chapters. Have fun! Best Stefan (on behalf of the other editors Anne, Bob and Jean-Pierre)

Test site for migration of HPSG proceedings into OJS, please check
by Stefan Müller 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

First sent this to the old lfg list. Here resent to Konstanz. Hi, I am migrating the HPSG proceedings into an Open Journal System instance, which will go online once the technical details are sorted out. I integrated all the ORCIDs of authors of HPSG proceedings into the PDFs. The PDFs now also contain author, title, year, publisher and keyword information so that harvesters/libraries/google scholar should be able to deal with the PDFs and catalogize them correctly. The PDF that is now created is PDF/A, which libraries love for archiving. There are exactly 100 ORCIDs missing. I wrote emails to all authors with missing ORCIDs but some bounced and sometimes I just did not get a reply. One reason may be spam filters, because I sent many mails with the same content. So if you know the authors below, it would be great if you could give me their contact details or tell me their ORCIDs. Please also check that I did not mess up your ORCIDs or anything else. A test installation can be found here: https://ojs.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/hpsg_test User: hpsg_test Password: HPSG$demo!2021 This email also goes to the LFG list because the 2016 conference was a joined one. If you want to send me keywords for earlier papers, now would be the time to do so.

by Elodie Winckel 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

Dear LFG community, /Following the Call for papers for the HPSG Conference, I invite you to submit for the Computational Linguistics on East Asian languages, that will take place right after it. No relationship with the HPSG framework is expected (though of course very welcome)./ A one-day workshop on Computational Linguistics on East Asian Languages will be held as an /online event/ on 31 July 2022, in conjunction with the 29th International Conference on Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (29-30 July 2022). The aim of the workshop is to promote interdisciplinary and cross-language discussion on approaches to linguistic analyses using computational techniques (broadly construed), with a focus on East Asian languages. We strongly encourage researchers from outside the HPSG framework to submit. Possible topics include, but are not limited to syntactic/semantic parsing, cognitive modelling with computational models, development of language resources with annotations beyond the word level (treebanks, propbanks, discourse annotations, etc.), and applications of large-scale corpus data and/or sophisticated machine learning techniques to addressing questions in linguistic theory. *Workshop Format*: The workshop on Computational Linguistics on East Asian languages will take place following the two-day main HPSG 2022 conference. Presentations will be pre-recorded and pre-loaded on the conference website, and the discussion period will be online. *Submissions:* We welcome two types of submissions for the workshop: - Long papers (4-page abstract + 1 page data, figures & references; 20 minute pre-recorded presentation + 15 minute online discussion) - Short papers (2-page abstract + 1 page data, figures & references; 10 minute pre-recorded presentation + 10 minute online discussion) Please note that abstracts submitted for the “long paper” track can be accepted as “short papers” (and vice versa) and that the Program Committee may choose to move a paper submitted to the workshop to the main conference (and vice versa), whenever such decisions seem appropriate. Only “long papers” will appear in the proceedings. If you intend to present at the workshop, please choose the option Computational Linguistics Workshop as your Submission Type. All abstracts should be submitted in PDF format via: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpsg22 All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. The submissions should not include the authors' names, and authors are asked to avoid self-references. Please direct any questions to the Program Committee Chair: Elodie Winckel (hpsg22(a)easychair.org). *Workshop organizer: * Yusuke Kubota (National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics) *Important dates:* Abstract submission deadline: March 16th 2022 (anywhere on Earth) Notifications of acceptance: May 2nd 2022 Main Conference : July 29th-30th 2022 Workshop on Computational Linguistics on East Asian languages : July 31st 2022 *Publication:* A call for contributions to the proceedings will be issued after the conference. The papers will be published either at the online proceedings platform at CSLI together with the main conference proceedings or in a separate collective volume.

LFG22: First Call for Papers
by Agnieszka Patejuk 01 Nov '21

01 Nov '21

First Call for Papers [Apologies for cross-posting] LFG22: The 27th International Lexical-Functional Grammar Conference 12 July - 14 July 2022 University of Groningen Conference website: TBA Conference e-mail (NOT for abstract submission): lfgconf2022 'at' gmail.com Abstract submission deadline: 15 February 2022, 23:59 UTC-12 (midnight anywhere on Earth) Abstracts should be submitted using the online submission system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lfg22 Invited speakers: TBA LFG22 welcomes work within the formal architecture of Lexical-Functional Grammar as well as typological, formal, and computational work within the 'spirit of LFG' as a lexicalist approach to language employing a parallel, constraint-based framework. The conference aims to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers interested in non-derivational approaches to grammar, where grammar is seen as the interaction of (perhaps violable) constraints from multiple levels of structuring, including those of syntactic categories, grammatical relations, semantics and discourse. SUBMISSIONS: TALKS AND POSTERS The main conference sessions will involve 45-minute talks (30 min + 15 min discussion), and poster presentations. Contributions can focus on results from completed as well as ongoing research, with an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational. Presentations should describe original, unpublished work. DISSERTATION SESSION As in previous years, we are hoping to hold a special session that will give students the chance to present recent PhD dissertations (or other student research dissertations). The dissertations must be completed by the time of the conference, and they should be made publicly accessible (e.g., on the World Wide Web). The talks in this session should provide an overview of the main original points of the dissertation; the talks will be 20 minutes, followed by a 10-minute discussion period. Students should note that the main sessions are certainly also open to student submissions. Students who present papers in either session will receive a small subvention towards their conference costs from the International LFG Association (ILFGA). TIMETABLE Deadline for abstracts: 15 February 2022, 23:59 UTC-12 (midnight anywhere on Earth) Notification of acceptance: 31 March 2022 Conference: 12 July - 14 July 2022 SUBMISSION SPECIFICATIONS The language of the conference is English, and all abstracts must be written in English. All abstracts should be submitted using the online submission system. Submissions should be in the form of abstracts only. Abstracts can be up to three A4 pages, including figures and references. Abstracts should be in 10pt or larger type, with margins of at least 2cm on all four sides, and should include a title. Omit name and affiliation (including in PDF document properties), and avoid obvious self-reference. For dissertation session submissions, please add "Dissertation" to the title of your abstract. Please submit your abstract in .pdf format (or a plain text file). The number of submissions is not restricted. However, in the interests of high participation and broad representation, each author should be involved in a maximum of two oral papers and can only be a single author of one. There are no restrictions on poster presentations. Authors may want to keep this in mind when stating their preferences concerning the mode of presentation of their submissions. All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least three referees. Papers accepted to the conference can be submitted to the refereed proceedings, and will be published, subject to acceptance, online by CSLI Publications. (Please note that papers submitted to the proceedings are no longer automatically accepted for publication in the proceedings.) See http://web.stanford.edu/group/cslipublications/cslipublications/LFG/ for recent proceedings. ORGANISERS AND THEIR CONTACT ADDRESSES If you have queries about abstract submission or have problems using the EasyChair submission system, please contact the Program Committee.
