SyntaxFest 2027
Prague, August 30 – September 3 2027

5 events in 1 Fest

The SyntaxFest brings together five events with partially overlapping research topics including empirical syntax, linguistic annotation, statistical language analysis, and natural language processing:
  • Depling: Conference on Dependency Linguistics
  • IWPT: International Conference on Parsing Technologies
  • Quasy: Workshop on Quantitative Syntax
  • SLiDE: Workshop on Structured Linguistic Data and Evaluation
  • UDW: Universal Dependencies Workshop

Venue

SyntaxFest will take place from Monday August 30 to Friday September 3, 2027.

Shared reviewing process

On the submission site, authors submit their paper only once for the whole SyntaxFest, but they can uncheck conferences they do not wish their paper to be considered for. If the paper is deemed appropriate for more than one of the selected conferences, the SyntaxFest joint organization committee decides on the final placement of the paper, which implies the day of the presentation and the proceedings the paper will appear in.

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.
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.
