Eighth Meeting on Mathematics of Language

Second Call for Papers

MoL8 is the eighth Mathematics of Language Conference and will be held June 20-22, 2003, in conjunction with the North American Summer School in Logic, Language and Information, in Bloomington, Indiana.

Aims and Scope

MoL8 hopes to provide a platform for presentation of new and original research on all mathematical linguistics and the mathematical study of natural languages.
Themes of interest include, but are not limited to
  • formal language theory;
  • formal and computational syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and phonology;
  • model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics;
  • constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar;
  • foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar;
  • logical aspects of linguistic structure;
  • mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to linguistic analysis.
