JOINT CONFERENCE ON FORMAL GRAMMAR, HEAD-DRIVEN PHRASE STRUCTURE
GRAMMAR, AND CATEGORIAL GRAMMAR

August 14-16, 1998, 
Saarbrueken, Germany

			
			FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

FHCG-98 combines the 4th conference on Formal Grammar and the 5th
conference on Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. It precedes the
10th European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information
(ESSLLI X).

AIMS and SCOPE 

FHCG-98 hopes to provide a platform for presentation of new and
original research on formal grammar, head-driven phrase structure
grammar, and categorial grammar.

Themes of interest include, but are not limited to,

* formal and computational syntax, semantics, and pragmatics; 
* head-driven phrase structure grammar and categorial grammar; 
* model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics; 
* constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar;
* foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar.

SPECIAL SESSIONS and INVITED SPEAKERS

The conference will feature a number of special sessions and invited
speakers. The second call for papers will provide details on how to
submit for the special sessions.
