14th Meeting on Mathematics of Language (MoL 2015) July 25-26, 2015 University of Chicago, USA http://www.molweb.org/mol2015/ # First Call for Papers The Association for Mathematics of Language invites submissions to its biennial conference, MoL, which will be held July 25-26, 2015, at the University of Chicago. The meeting takes place on the last weekend of the Linguistic Summer Institute of the Linguistic Society of America. ## Description MoL is devoted to the study of mathematical structures and methods that are of importance to the description of language. Contributions to all areas of this field are welcome. Specific topics within the scope of the conference include, but are not limited to the following: * formal and computational analysis of linguistic theories and frameworks * learnability of formal grammars * proof-theoretic, model-theoretic and type-theoretic methods in linguistics * mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to language analysis * formal models of language use and language change ## Submissions MoL invites the submission of papers on original, substantial, completed, and unpublished research. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Papers presented at the conference will be included in the conference proceedings, which will be published in the ACL Anthology (http://aclweb.org/anthology/). All submissions must follow the style set out in the conference style files, which are available at the conference website. They must not exceed twelve (12) pages of technical content, but may have an unlimited number of extra pages for references. Simultaneous submission to other conferences is allowed, provided that the authors indicate which other conferences the paper is submitted to. A paper is accepted on the condition that it will not be presented at any other venue. MoL uses the EasyChair conference management system for submission, reviewing and preparation of proceedings: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mol2015 Submissions must be uploaded to this system electronically in PDF format no later than (end of day, Anywhere on Earth) Friday, March 13, 2015. ## Important Dates * Paper submission deadline: March 13, 2015 * Notification of acceptance: April 24, 2015 * Camera-ready copy deadline: May 8, 2015 * Conference: July 25-26, 2015 ## Program Committee Marco Kuhlmann, Program Chair (Linköping University, Sweden) Makoto Kanazawa, Program Co-Chair (National Institute of Informatics, Japan) Greg Kobele, Local Chair (University of Chicago, USA) Henrik Björklund (Umeå University, Sweden) David Chiang (University of Notre Dame, USA) Alexander Clark (King's College London, UK) Shay Cohen (University of Edinburgh, UK) Carlos Gómez-Rodríguez (University of A Coruña, Spain) Jeffrey Heinz (University of Delaware, USA) Gerhard Jäger (University of Tübingen, Germany) Aravind Joshi (University of Pennsylvania, USA) András Kornai (Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary) Giorgio Magri (CNRS, France) Andreas Maletti (University of Stuttgart, Germany) Jens Michaelis (Bielefeld University, Germany) Gerald Penn (University of Toronto, Canada) Carl Pollard (The Ohio State University, USA) Jim Rogers (Earlham College, USA) Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh (Queen Mary University of London, UK) Sylvain Salvati (INRIA, France) Ed Stabler (University of California, Los Angeles, USA) Mark Steedman (Edinburgh University, UK) Anssi Yli-Jyrä (University of Helsinki, Finland) ## Contact For inquiries about the scientific program of the conference, please email mol2015@easychair.org.
