    Meeting Description:

    A number of approaches to Germanic languages (excluding English) have been developed in constraint-based theories like HPSG and LFG. Apart from the issue of empirical adequacy, formal issues were raised, among them: - the nature of complex predicates and the mechanisms used to formalize them - linearization versus movement analyses of various phenomena - the nature of functional projections - configurational and non-configurational properties of scope determination

    The idea of this workshop is to provide a forum to present and discuss current HPSG proposals exploring such empirical and formal issues of the morphology/syntax of Germanic languages (excluding English). 06.08.2003
