LxGr primarily welcomes papers reporting on corpus-based research on any aspect of the interaction of lexis and grammar -- particularly studies that interrogate the system lexicogrammatically to get lexicogrammatical answers. However, position papers discussing theoretical or methodological issues, as well as descriptions or demonstrations of tools or resources are also welcome, as long as they are relevant to both lexicogrammar and corpus linguistics. The theme of LxGr2025 is: Conceptions of Lexicogrammar: How can corpus linguistics shed light on its nature? If you would like to present, send an abstract of 500 words (excluding references) to lxgr(a)edgehill.ac.uk<mailto:lxgr@edgehill.ac.uk>. • Abstracts for research papers should specify the research focus (research questions or hypotheses), the corpus, the methodology (techniques, metrics), the theoretical orientation, and the main findings. • Abstracts for position papers should specify the theoretical orientation and the potential contribution to both lexicogrammar and corpus linguistics. • Abstracts for tools or resources should provide a clear description of the main functions, and specify the potential contribution to both lexicogrammar and corpus linguistics. Full papers will be allocated 35 minutes (including 10 minutes for discussion). Work-in-progress reports will be allocated 20 minutes (including 5 minutes for discussion). There will be no parallel sessions. Participation is free. For details, visit the LxGr website: https://sites.edgehill.ac.uk/lxgr If you have any questions, please contact lxgr(a)edgehill.ac.uk<mailto:lxgr@edgehill.ac.uk>. ________________________________ Edge Hill University<http://ehu.ac.uk/home/emailfooter> Modern University of the Year, The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022<http://ehu.ac.uk/tef/emailfooter> University of the Year, Educate North 2021/21 ________________________________ This message is private and confidential.

Commitment deadline for pre-reviewed ACL ARR submissions: July 31, 2025 - Submission deadline (non-archival): August 1, 2025 - Notification of acceptance (non-archival): August 8, 2025 - Camera ready (archival): August 8, 2025 - Camera ready (ARR Commitments): August 15, 2025 - Registration deadline: TBA - Conference: September 8–9, 2025, University of Gothenburg, Sweden All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 (“anywhere on Earth”). Language models And RePresentations (LARP) brings together researchers that explore how information is structured, encoded and used in computational language systems. We encourage submissions on both neural (sub-symbolic) and discrete (symbolic) representations from the fields of computational linguistics and artificial intelligence or their intersection. The conference is organised by the Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP, https://gu-clasp.github.io/), University of Gothenburg. The conference will be held between September 8 and 9 in Gothenburg, Sweden (on-site and hybrid). Topics of interest ---- We hope to see innovative work that considers neural and symbolic learning and processing in terms of different modelling perspectives. Papers are invited on the following topics as they relate to natural language: - Neuro-symbolic integration: novel hybrid frameworks combining symbolic representations with neural network learning for enhanced reasoning and natural language processing - Explainable machine learning: techniques that allow for better interpretability, transparency, and explainability of neural, symbolic and neuro-symbolic architectures - Logical constraints in neural networks: methods that use logical structures (e.g., knowledge bases, ontologies) for post-hoc or inherent explainability - Automated reasoning systems providing human-interpretable rationales for decisions - Symbolic planning and control in neural workflows - Application-driven scenarios (robots, autonomous systems) showcasing benefits of symbolic approaches - Techniques that integrate symbolic representations into text or multimodal generation - Approaches that enforce domain knowledge, consistency, or adherence to constraints in text and/or multimodal generation - Fine-tuning and in-context learning strategies that incorporate logical or rule-based knowledge This list is illustrative but is not intended to be exhaustive. Submission Requirements ---- **Archival track** Archival track will feature the following types of submissions to appear in conference proceedings: we accept long papers (max 8 pages) and short papers (max 4 pages). Long and short papers must describe substantial, original, and unpublished research. Supplementary materials, appendices, a section on limitations and ethical concerns do not count towards the page limit. Archival accepted papers will be published in the 2025 ACL Anthology as a CLASP Conference Proceedings. Papers should be electronically submitted via the OpenReview system at https://openreview.net/group?id=CLASP/LARP/2025/Conference. Submissions should be .pdf files and use the LaTeX or Word templates provided for ACL submissions (https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files). Archival submissions must be anonymous. Please make sure that you select the right track when submitting your paper. Contact the organisers if you have questions. **NEW!!! ARR Commitment** We accept papers that have been pre-reviewed via ACL Rolling Review. You are welcome to submit the link to your ARR submission. The linked submission must include both the reviews and the meta-review. Both the submission and its reviews will be evaluated by the programme committee for their relevance to the conference topic. To submit, please visit https://openreview.net/group?id=CLASP/LARP/2025/ARR_Commitment. **Non-archival track** At the time of submission, authors may indicate that their paper should be considered for the non-archival track. The format for non-archival submissions is the same for both long and short papers as it is for the archival submissions. Non-archival papers will not undergo the peer review process. They will be evaluated by the programme committee for clarity and content relevance before the decision by the PC is made. Non-archival papers do not need to be anonymous. If accepted, they are to be published on the conference website and presented as posters. **Poster abstracts** We invite researchers to submit abstracts in the above areas of interest. Abstract submissions are non-archival. This is a great opportunity to get feedback on work in progress or to present previously published work to a new audience. The deadline for abstract submission is the same as for non-archival papers. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by August 8, 2025. Abstract submissions should be .pdf files and use the LaTeX or Word templates provided for ACL submissions (https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files). Abstracts should not exceed 2 pages (supplementary materials, appendices, a section on limitations and ethical concerns are not included) and be submitted via OpenReview system at https://openreview.net/group?id=CLASP/LARP/2025/Conference.

First Call for Papers: Eighth Universal Dependencies Workshop
by Gosse Bouma 11 Apr '25

11 Apr '25

The eighth workshop on Universal Dependencies Part of SyntaxFest 2025, Ljubljana, August 26-29 Call for Papers Universal Dependencies (UD) is a framework for cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation that has so far been applied to over 150 languages (https://universaldependencies.org <https://universaldependencies.org/>). The framework is aiming to capture similarities as well as idiosyncrasies among typologically different languages (e.g., morphologically rich languages, pro-drop languages, and languages featuring clitic doubling). The goal in developing UD was not only to support comparative evaluation and cross-lingual learning but also to facilitate multilingual natural language processing and enable comparative linguistic studies. The Universal Dependencies Workshop series was started to create a forum for discussion of the theory and practice of UD, its use in research and development, and its future goals and challenges. Some of the previous workshops have been co-located with Coling, EMNLP, and SyntaxFest. We invite papers on all topics relevant to UD, including but not limited to: * Theoretical foundations and universal guidelines * Linguistic analysis of specific languages and/or constructions * Language typology and linguistic universals * Treebank annotation, conversion and validation * Word segmentation, morphological tagging and syntactic parsing * The use of the UD data for evaluating or understanding language models * Linguistic studies based on the UD data Priority will be given to papers that adopt a cross-lingual perspective. SyntaxFest 2025 https://syntaxfest.github.io/syntaxfest25/index.html SyntaxFest is a biennial event that brings together a series of events focusing on topics such as empirical syntax, linguistic annotation, statistical language analysis, and natural language processing. Apart from the 8th UDW, it hosts TLT, DepLing, IWPT, and Quasy. Each workshop publishes its own proceedings, but all events follow a shared submission process, timeline, and programme. The UniDive 1st Shared Task on Morphosyntactic Parsing takes place on Aug, 26.
