International Conference on Formal Grammar FG 2018: Formal Grammar 2018
The Formal Grammar conference series (FG) provides a forum for the presentation of
new and original research on formal grammar, mathematical linguistics, and the
application of formal and mathematical methods to the study of natural language.
Themes of interest include, but are not limited to:
– Formal and computational phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and
pragmatics
– Model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics
– Logical aspects of linguistic structure
– Constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar
– Learnability of formal grammar
– Integration of stochastic and symbolic models of grammar
– Foundational, methodological, and architectural issues in grammar and linguistics
– Mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to linguistic analysis

FG 2018, the 23rd conference on Formal Grammar, was held in Sofia, Bulgaria,
during August 11–12, 2018. The conference consisted in a special session, dedicated to
the memory of Richard T. Oehrle, who passed away in 2018, and seven contributed
papers selected from 11 submissions. The present volume includes the contributed
papers.
We would like to thank the people who made the 23rd FG conference possible: the
invited speakers, the members of the Program Committee, and the organizers of
ESSLLI 2018, with which the conference was colocated.
