	 Formal Grammar Conference - FG99

 PROGRAM

 August 7-8, 1999 Utrecht, The Netherlands



In August 1999, the Eleventh European Summer School in Logic, Lan-
guage and Information (ESSLLI XI) will be held in Utrecht, The Nether-
lands, August 9-20. The ESSLLI Summer Schools have become a forum for
work on formal grammar, encompassing the overlapping interests of work
in formal linguistics, computational linguistics, and the role of
logic and grammar formalisms. FG99 is the 5th conference on Formal
Grammar held in conjunction with the European Summer School in Logic,
Language and Information, which takes place in 1999 in
Utrecht. Previous meetings were held in Barcelona (1995), Prague
(1996), Aix-en-Provence (1997), and as part of the Joint Conference on
Formal Grammar, Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, and Categorial
Grammar (FHCG98) held in Saarbrucken last August. Themes of interest
include formal and computational syntax, semantics, and pragmatics;
head-driven phrase structure grammar and categorial grammar;
model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics;
constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar; and
foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar.

 Invited Lectures:



 Marcelo Finger (Department of Computer Science, University of Sao Paulo)
 Ed Keenan & Ed Stabler (Department of Linguistics, UCLA)


 Symposium: Grammatical Resources and Grammatical Inference


 David Dowty (Ohio State) Polly Jacobson (Brown) Gerhard Jager (Berlin)
