Fourth International Conference on Dependency Linguistics
Pisa, Italy
18-20 September 2017
Conference web site : http://depling.org/depling2017/
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
CONFERENCE AIMS
The Depling conference responds to the growing need for a conference
dedicated to dependency-based approaches in linguistics and natural
language processing. In the past decade, dependencies, directed labeled
graph structures representing hierarchical relations between morphemes,
words or semantic units, have become very widespread in natural language
processing. However, the linguistic significance of these structures
often remains vague, and the need to discuss the theoretical and formal
foundations of dependency-based concepts is felt strongly by many people
working in these domains.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
Topics include but are not limited to :
- The use of dependency trees in syntactic analysis, parsing,
generation, and corpus annotation of written and spoken texts ;
- Cross-lingual dependency parser evaluation, with particular emphasis
on intrinsic evaluation metrics ;
- The use of semantic valency-based predicate and actancy graph
structures and their link to classical logic ;
- The elaboration of formal dictionaries for dependency-based syntax and
semantics, including descriptions of collocations and paradigmatic
relations ;
- Links to morphology and linearization of dependency structures, using,
for example, topological field theories ;
- Dependency-like structures beyond the sentence, for example, to model
discourse phenomena ;
- The description and formalization of semantic and pragmatic phenomena
related to information structure ;
- History, epistemology, and psycholinguistic relevance of dependency
grammar, including its relation to generative approaches to language ;
- Dependency grammar and linguistic universals.
SHARED TASK
This year Depling is co-located with the "International Workshop on
Parsing Technologies" (IWPT 2017), which will take place immediately
after Depling 2017. The two conferences will have an overlapping day,
September 20th, in which the results will be reported of a joint shared
task playing the role of Depling-IWPT "bridge event" and focusing on
"Extrinsic Parser Evaluation" (EPE). The goal of this shared task is to
try to shed light on the relative `utility’ of different types of
dependency representations for downstream applications that depend on
grammatical analysis. For background and information on participation,

PAPER SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Papers should describe original work ; they should emphasize completed
work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of
completion of the reported results. Submissions will be judged on
correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and relevance
to the conference, and interest to the attendees.
Papers must be submitted in PDF format through the Depling2017 EasyChair
site ( https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=depling2017 ).
Papers may consist of up to 10 pages of content (including
references). All submissions should follow the two-column format and the
style guidelines. We strongly recommend the use of the LaTeX style
files, OpenDocument or Microsoft Word templates created for the Depling
2017 conference.
Reviewing of papers will be double-blind. Therefore, the paper must not
include the authors’ names and affiliations. Furthermore,
self-references that reveal the author’s identity, e.g., "We previously
showed (Smith, 1991) ...", must be avoided. Instead, use citations such
as "Smith (1991) previously showed ...". Papers that do not conform to
these requirements will be rejected without review.
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline : May 5, 2017
Notification of acceptance : June 23, 2017
Final version of papers due : July 15, 2017
Depling conference : September 18-20, 2017
