 Coling-ACL '98 workshop

 "Processing of Dependency-based Grammars"

 Program

 Saturday, August 15, 1998
 Universit de Montral
 Montral, Canada



This one-day workshop will be a meeting point for researchers interested in
the implementation of Dependency-based Grammars (DGs). It will be a forum
for presenting different theoretical approaches to DGs, as well as
strategies adopted for their implementation. Although the focus of this
workshop is on DGs, it also aims at establishing connections between
different approaches to the modeling and implementation of grammatical
phenomena.

Nine papers have been selected for presentation at the workshop.
Additionally, four "short" papers will be included in the worhsop
proceedings. This is the pre-final program for the workshop. The schedule is
tentative and may vary slightly. Remember that you have to register for the
workshop. Information about registration can be found at the Coling-ACL
site: http://coling-acl98.iro.umontreal.ca/MainPage.html.
