			 FORMAL GRAMMAR


			 Prague
			August 10-11, 1996
		 in conjunction with the
	European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information



In 1996 the Eighth European Summer School in Logic, Language and
Information (ESSLLI VIII) is to be held in Prague, August 12-23. The
ESSLLI Summer Schools have become a forum for work on formal grammar,
encompassing the overlapping interests of work in formal linguistics,
computational linguistics, and the role of logic in grammar
formalisms. As at ESSLLI VII last year in Barcelona, the programme
this year includes a conference on Formal Grammar to be held the
weekend before the Summer School, which will provide a forum for
contemporary research in this domain. Themes of interest include
formal and computational phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and
pragmatics; logical methods in linguistics; and foundational,
methodological and architectural issues in grammar.

We invite e-mail submissions of abstracts for 30-minute papers
(including questions and comments) addressing these themes. Abstracts
should be sent to
		 fgesslliufal.mff.cuni.cz

An abstract should contain the author's name, affiliation, e-mail
address and postal address in the initial lines; the body of the
abstract should consist of an ASCII or Postscript file of a document
of not more than 800 words. To facilitate anonymous review,
the initial lines containing information concerning the author should
be easily removable.

The deadline for submissions is April 30, 1996. Notification of
acceptance will be by the end of May. Final versions of papers are to
be received by 7th July for inclusion in a proceedings to be
distributed at the time of the Summer School.
