NOTE: Due to local space limitations and the overwhelming response to
calls for preregistration, the local organizers have asked us to
declare the conference "full". We apologize for this and are aiming
to hold the LFG Conference next year at a larger venue.
Proceedings of this conference will be available. For details contact
either Miriam Butt (mutt at ims.uni-stuttgart.de) or Tracy Holloway King
(thking at csli.stanford.edu) before August 15.
