Thus, we strongly encourage researchers from outside the HPSG framework to submit. Invited Speaker: Mats Rooth (Cornell University) Related Events: The workshop on Information Structure in Formal Grammar is part of this year's HPSG conference, which will take place in Seattle, WA on 24-25 August 2011. It will be preceded by a day of tutorials on 22 August, given by Nicholas Asher (Toulouse) and Johanna Nichols (Berkeley). Call for Papers: Abstracts are solicited for presentations which address linguistic, foundational, or computational issues relating to information structure and its interactions with formal syntax and semantics. Workshop Format: There will be two sessions: a main session, with 30 minute presentations (plus 10 min discussion), 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. Submissions: We will use an online submission system. All abstracts should be submitted via: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ifg2011 Abstracts should be in PDF format. Please direct any questions to the Program Committee Chair: ifg2011easychair.org All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. Abstracts should not include the authors' names, and authors are asked to avoid self-references. Important Dates: Abstract submission deadline: 10 April 2011 Notification of acceptance: 20 May 2011 Workshop: 23 August 2011 Publication: The workshop proceedings will be published online by CSLI Publications, together with the proceedings for the HPSG main conference. Only papers presented in the main session will be included in the proceedings. A call for contributions to the proceedings will be issued after the conference. Proceedings of previous conferences are available at: http://csli-publications.stanford.edu/HPSG/ The final deadline for receipt of written versions of conference papers is 15 November 2011.
