 1994 CONFERENCE ON HEAD-DRIVEN PHRASE STRUCTURE GRAMMAR

 August 6-7, 1994
 (Immediately preceeding ESSLLI-6
 The 6th European Summer School in Language Logic and Information)
 University of Cophenhagen

Recent years have seen the emergence an international community
employing HPSG as a framework for linguistic research. Much previous
and ongoing work has focused on the one hand on detailed studies of
linguistic phenomena in a handful of languages (especially English,
German, and Korean), and on the other hand on technical issues of
formalization and computational implementation.

However, the original impetus for the development of HPSG arose from a
desire to provide formally explicit descriptions of a wide range of
human languages and a basis for general explanations for
cross-linguistic regularities. Particularly welcome are papers which
elaborate or provide alternatives to existing explanatory resources,
or which extend the scope of the framework beyond syntax and semantics
to encompass the interfaces with other linguistic components (such as
phonology, morphology, and pragmatics). Preference will be given to
submissions which are strongly grounded in rich bodies of linguistic
fact. Abstracts to be presented will be selected by an international
panel of referees.

PRESENTATIONS: Authors should plan on 45 minutes for presentation and
question period.

ABSTRACT REQUIREMENTS: Abstracts must not exceed in length two
standard-size pages in unreduced type, with one additional page for
examples and figures. A title, but not the author's name, should
appear on the abstract. Either electronic (preferred) or hard-copy
submission is permissible.
