 ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS: LFG97

 June 19 -- 21, 1997

 University of California-San Diego
 San Diego, California
 Conference chair: Prof. Farrell Ackerman, UCSD

LFG97 will take place in June 1997 at the University of
California-San Diego. Papers are invited both within the formal
architecture of Lexical-Functional Grammar and in the `spirit of
LFG', as a lexicalist approach to language within a parallel,
constraint-based framework.

There will be a series of 20-minute talks (with 10 minutes for
discussion), poster presentations, and workshops with invited
participants (see below). The talks and poster presentations may
focus on results from completed as well as ongoing research, with
an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and
perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or
computational.

Abstract submissions should include:

- Five copies of a one-page abstract of the paper with a title. OMIT
 name and affiliation. A second page may be used for data, c-/f- and
 related structures, and references, but not for text.
- A 3" by 5" card with the title of the paper and the name(s) of the
 author(s), address, e-mail address, and whether the author(s) are
 students.
- If possible, please send a postscript or ascii file of the abstract
 via email IN ADDITION TO the five hard copies.

Abstracts should be sent to the following address and should
indicate whether the submission is for a talk or a poster:

 Dr. Tracy Holloway King
 Information Sciences and Technologies Laboratory
 Xerox PARC
 3333 Coyote Hill Road
 Palo Alto, CA 94304 USA

Important dates:

 ABSTRACT RECEIPT DEADLINE: January 31, 1997
 NOTIFICATION DATE: March 15, 1997

We plan to organize workshops on the following topics, with
special emphasis on how results in these areas are best
accommodated within lexicalist frameworks:

 Grammaticalization and Linguistic Theory
 Morphology and Linguistic Theory
 Discourse and Phrase Structure

We hope to be able to offer some financial assistance to student
presenters attending the conference. Further information about
student subsidies will be available in late March.
