Dynamic Syntax Day, June 1st 2021

Details

Published: Thursday, 25 March 2021 10:49

As we could not hold a DS conference last year, we will instead be having an online DS day at the end of the PhD course, June 1st 9.00--13.00 (Central European Time).

All authors of abstracts that were accepted to the postponed DS conference 2020 will be invited to present and discuss their work (or new work if they have moved on in the intervening year!)

More details to follow.

Published: Wednesday, 10 March 2021 10:57

The University of Bergen in Norway is hosting an online PhD course on Dynamic Syntax via Zoom from May 21- June 1, 2021. Dynamic Syntax is a grammar formalism which aims to capture the real-time parsing and production of language. The course will be of particular interest to those working in syntax, semantics, and the syntax-semantics interface, as well as natural language modelling and computational linguistics, but is open to all!

This course is being funded by the Norwegian Graduate Researcher School in Linguistics and Philology (https://www.ntnu.edu/lingphil).

Any interested PhD candidate or postdoctoral researcher who is currently enrolled or employed at a university is welcome to register and take part in the course. All participants who attend the course and complete the assignment will be awarded a certificate of completion worth an equivalent of 5 ECTS. Participants will be asked to evaluate the course upon completion.

Instructors:  Professor Miriam Bouzouita, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany; Dr. Hannah Gibson, University Essex, UK; and Professor Lutz Marten, SOAS University of London

Course organizers: Tori Larsen and Professor Christer Johansson, University of Bergen, Norway

Course website: https://dynamic-syntax-2020.jimdosite.com/

If you would like to register for the course, please do so using the link provided on the course website. You will be asked to submit a 300-350 word abstract about your current research when registering. The registration deadline is April 30th, 2021. There are no fees associated with the course.

POSTPONED Fourth Dynamic Syntax Conference, Oxford, May 22-23 2020

Details

Published: Friday, 10 January 2020 09:23

We are delighted to announce that the fourth Dynamic Syntax Conference will be held in Oxford, UK on 22nd - 23rd May 2020.

Call for abstracts:
Dynamic Syntax is a grammar formalism that directly models the dynamics of parsing and production in real-time. On this view, linguistic knowledge is the ability to process (parse and produce) language, incrementally, in context, where syntax is recast as sets of constraints on the incremental building up of semantic and contextual representations from words encountered in a linguistic string.

The 4th Dynamic Syntax Conference will bring together those using Dynamic Syntax in their research, as well as those interested in the empirical, computational, or theoretical issues surrounding Dynamic Syntax and its use.  We also especially welcome papers that engage with issues relating to parsing-based approaches to the representation of natural language, incremental systems of grammar, and/or the syntax-semantics and syntax-pragmatic interfaces, as well as papers that compare other formalisms to Dynamic Syntax (formal properties, problematic phenomena, etc).

Anonymous abstracts of up to 500 words (including references) can be submitted via easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ds20200

Important dates:
    Abstract submission: February 26th 2020 March 2nd 2020
    Notification to authors: March 4th 2020 March 12th 2020
    Conference dates: May 22nd-23rd 2020
