Call: HPSG Workshop Germanic

[Stefan Mueller]

Call for (passive/active) participation:

                          HPSG Workshop Germanic

                            August 7 - 8, 2003

                           University of Bremen
	         FB 10 Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft


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).

We explicitly encourage the presentation of work in progress. According
to this philosophy the selection of papers is not based on a review
process of abstracts but on a first-come-first-served basis.


Greetings

	Stefan Müller
