    SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

    HPSG-2004

    11th International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar Centre for Computational Linguistics Katholieke Universiteit Leuven 3-6 August 2004 http://www.ccl.kuleuven.ac.be/hpsg2004/

    The 11th International Conference on HPSG will take place in Belgium on 3-6 August 2004, hosted by the Centre for Computational Linguistics of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. The conference will include a workshop on SEMANTICS in GRAMMAR ENGINEERING.

    MAIN CONFERENCE (4-6 August 2004)

    Abstracts are solicited for 30-minute presentations (followed by 10 minutes discussion) which address linguistic, foundational, or computational issues relating to the framework of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar.

    INVITED SPEAKERS

    Jonathan Ginzburg Other invited speakers t.b.a.

    WORKSHOP on SEMANTICS in GRAMMAR ENGINEERING (3 August 2004)

    Semantic formalisms, such as Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS), Constraint Language for Lambda Structures (CLLS), and the LFG ''Glue'' Semantics, among others, have been designed to meet the demands of both theoretical linguistics and natural language processing. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for the discussion of empirical and formal approaches to semantics and the syntax-semantics interface in the development of (large-scale) computational grammars.

    INVITED SPEAKER

    Ann Copestake

    We solicit abstracts (for 30+10 minute presentations) focusing on: - the modeling and implementation of aspect, situation types, semantic argument structure, semantic decomposition, word sense disambiguation, anaphora resolution, etc., - the use of semantic formalisms in grammars for applications such as machine translation, information extraction, dialogue, etc., - the relationship between semantic representation and disambiguation, - other themes relevant to the role of semantics in grammar engineering.

    SUBMISSION DETAILS

    For both the main conference and the workshop, we invite E-MAIL submissions of abstracts for presentations, to consist of two parts

    1) a separate information page in plain text format, containing - author name(s) - affiliation(s) - e-mail and postal address(es) - title of paper

    2) an extended abstract of not more than 5 (five) pages, including all figures and references. Abstracts should preferably be in PDF format.

    All abstracts should be sent to

    gosselet.rug.nl

    Abstracts for the main conference should mention 'HPSG-04' and abstracts for the workshop should mention 'workshopHPSG-04' in the subject line.

    All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. Authors are asked to avoid self-references in the abstracts.
