FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

Abstracts are solicited for presentations which address linguistic, foundational, or computational issues relating to the framework of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar.

INVITED SPEAKERS

The two invited speakers are:

Daniel Flickinger (Stanford University)
Barbara Hemforth (Université Paris Descartes)

CONFERENCE FORMAT

There will be two sessions: a main session, with 30 minute presentations, and a poster session. The poster session is intended as a means of encouraging the presentation of work that is not yet fully mature.

Prospective speakers may submit either a 5 page abstract for the main session, or a 2 page abstract for the poster session. Abstracts submitted initially for the main session may be accepted, at the discretion of the program committee, for presentation in the poster session instead.

RELATED EVENTS

The HPSG Conference will take place on July 9-10. It will be preceded by a day of tutorials on July 7, and a workshop on Morphology and Formal Grammar on July 8. The two tutorials are:

The LinGO Grammar Matrix: Rapid Grammar Development for Hypothesis Testing (presented by Emily Bender and Antske Fokkens)

Prosody and Information Structure in Grammar: Evidence from French (presented by Claire Beyssade, Jean-Marie Marandin and Cristel Portes)

The workshop on Morphology and Formal Grammar has a separate program committee and submission procedure. Details can be found at:
