Invited speakers for HPSG-2000 are John Hawkins (University of Southern California), and Donna Gerdts and Thomas Hukari (Simon Fraser University and the University of Victoria). The conference will also feature an invited tutorial on Norwegian, identifying challenges that the grammar poses for HPSG, presented by Lars Johnsen and Torbjorn Nordgard (University of Bergen & the Norwegian University of Science and Technology). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturday, 22 July 2000 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9:00 'Tough' complementation and the extraclausal propagation of argument descriptions Robert D.
