DepLing 2025, Ljubljana, August 26-29 deadline April 15
We are pleased to announce the 8th International Workshop on Dependency Grammar (DepLing 2025) , which will bring together researchers interested in dependency-based approaches in linguistics and natural language processing. Dependencies, directed labeled graph structures representing hierarchical relations between morphemes, words or semantic units, have now become the standard representation of syntactic resources and NLP technologies. Depling has become the central event for people discussing the linguistic significance of these structures, their theoretical and formal foundations, their processing, and their use in NLP tools.
The workshop is part of SyntaxFest 2025 and will be hosted by University of Ljubljana in Slovenia on August 26-29, 2025.

----------------------------- SELECTED TOPICS OF INTEREST ----------------------------- Topics include but are not limited to: The use of dependency structures in theoretical linguistics; a.o.: The use of syntactic trees to model syntactic relations; The use of semantic, valency-based or predicate-argument graph structures; The use of dependency-like structures to model semantic and pragmatic phenomena related to information structure; The use of dependency-like structures beyond the sentence (e.g., to model discourse phenomena); The elaboration of formal lexicons for dependency-based syntax and semantics, including descriptions of collocations and paradigmatic relations; The use of dependency in the field of linguistic universals, and typology. Historical and epistemological foundations of dependency grammar; a.o.: The definition of the very notion of dependency; The development and the use of dependency-based diagrams; Dependency grammar and its relation to other formalisms; The use of dependency-like concepts in the history of grammar and linguistics. The use of the dependency structures in corpus linguistics; a.o.: Corpus annotation and development of dependency-based treebanks and other linguistic resources of written and spoken texts; Recent advances in dependency-based parsing, and text generation; Cross-lingual dependency parser evaluation, with particular emphasis on intrinsic evaluation metrics. The relation between dependency-based grammar and other fields of science, such as, e.g., the psycholinguistic relevance of dependency grammar.
