Deadline for abstract receipt: Monday April 2nd, 2001 Notification of acceptance: Monday April 30th, 2001 The conference is specifically concerned with foundational issues in theoretical syntax.

Issues include the nature of the primitive syntactic objects, and the fundamental principles governing the combinatorics of these objects (see the statement of purpose at our web site for more background and details). The format of the conference is very much workshop-like with ample opportunity for discussion (during and after presentations) in a setting which facilitates effective informal interaction. The conference will have 14 presentations. 7 presentations will be given by invited speakers. Invited speakers will include: - Michael Brody - Chris Collins - Samuel Epstein - John Frampton - Dominique Sportiche - Ed Stabler - Edwin Williams 7 presentations will be selected on the basis of the submitted abstracts. Selected presentations will be 45 minutes including discussion (and interaction during presentation). Selected speakers will be offered free meals and lodging during the conference and may expect to be reimbursed for reasonable travel expenses.

They may be sent either electronically (name, address, affiliation in the body, the abstract itself anonymous; WordPerfect, PDF, or MSWord attachments) or by regular mail (1 copy with name, address and affiliation, 5 anonymous copies).
