The eighth workshop on Universal Dependencies
Part of SyntaxFest 2025, Ljubljana, August 26-29
Call for Papers
Universal Dependencies (UD) is a framework for cross-linguistically
consistent treebank annotation that has so far been applied to over 150
languages (https://universaldependencies.org
<https://universaldependencies.org/>). The framework is aiming to
capture similarities as well as idiosyncrasies among typologically
different languages (e.g., morphologically rich languages, pro-drop
languages, and languages featuring clitic doubling). The goal in
developing UD was not only to support comparative evaluation and
cross-lingual learning but also to facilitate multilingual natural
language processing and enable comparative linguistic studies.
The Universal Dependencies Workshop series was started to create a forum
for discussion of the theory and practice of UD, its use in research and
development, and its future goals and challenges. Some of the previous
workshops have been co-located with Coling, EMNLP, and SyntaxFest. We
invite papers on all topics relevant to UD, including but not limited to:
*
Theoretical foundations and universal guidelines
*
Linguistic analysis of specific languages and/or constructions
*
Language typology and linguistic universals
*
Treebank annotation, conversion and validation
*
Word segmentation, morphological tagging and syntactic parsing
*
The use of the UD data for evaluating or understanding language models
*
Linguistic studies based on the UD data
Priority will be given to papers that adopt a cross-lingual perspective.

SyntaxFest 2025
https://syntaxfest.github.io/syntaxfest25/index.html
SyntaxFest is a biennial event that brings together a series of events
focusing on topics such as empirical syntax, linguistic annotation,
statistical language analysis, and natural language processing. Apart
from the 8th UDW, it hosts TLT, DepLing, IWPT, and Quasy. Each workshop
publishes its own proceedings, but all events follow a shared submission
process, timeline, and programme. The UniDive 1st Shared Task on
Morphosyntactic Parsing takes place on Aug, 26.
