• 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;
