Summer School on Constraint-based Grammar, Aug. 6-11, 2001

         PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT


Subsequent to the conference HPSG-2001 (Aug. 3-5), the Linguistics 
Department, NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 
Trondheim), offers a one week summer school in Constraint-based grammars, 
primarily HPSG.

Topics include Syntax and Semantics in HPSG (and also Construction 
Grammar), Statistical approaches to grammar, and Grammar Engineering.

Lecturers include Ivan A. Sag, Stanford University, Jean-Pierre Koenig, 
State University of New York, Buffalo, Robert P. Malouf, University of 
Groningen, and Frederik Fouvry, Universität des Saarlandes. (Further 
lecturers are still to be confirmed.)

The school is sponsored by the Norwegian Research Council and the Language 
Technology Programme of NorFA, and is open for everyone interested. 
(Capacity limitations can be envisaged only for a practical course in 
Grammar Engineering.)
There is no participation fee.

The school is situated in time right between HPSG-2001 (Aug. 3-5, also in 
Trondheim), and ESSLLI 2001 (Aug. 13-24, in Helsinki - cf. 
http://www.helsinki.fi/esslli/). The school starts in the afternoon on 
Monday 6th, and ends in the early afternoon on Saturday 11th.

Web address for the school (and also for HPSG-2001) is 
http://www.ling.hf.ntnu.no/HPSG2001.

The site for the school is at the University Centre at Dragvoll (in 
beautiful, hilly surroundings at the outskirt of town, with a view to the 
fjord, and direct access to hiking and biking trails).

The room situation in Trondheim is very tight this week, due to a number of 
coinciding conferences and exhibitions, and a bulk reservation has 
therefore been made at Trondheim Vandrerhjem. Reservations can be made 
through the organizers. In addition a few guesthouse facilities near the 
school site will be available.

A program, with information about the courses, will be available by the end 
of April.
