The<br>conference aims to promote interaction and collaboration among<br>researchers interested in non-derivational approaches to grammar, where<br>grammar is seen as the interaction of (perhaps violable) constraints<br>from multiple levels of structuring, including those of syntactic<br>categories, grammatical relations, semantics and discourse.<br><br>Further information about LFG as a syntactic theory is available at the<br>following sites:<br> - <a href="http://www.essex.ac.uk/linguistics/LFG/">http://www.essex.ac.uk/linguistics/LFG/</a><br> - <a href="http://www-lfg.stanford.edu/lfg/">http://www-lfg.stanford.edu/lfg/</a><br><br><br>INVITED SPEAKER<br><br>Farrell Ackerman (UCSD) - Affix ordering and the morphosyntax of object<br>marking in Moro<br><br>PUBLIC LECTURE<br><br>Ron Kaplan (Stanford University & Powerset/Microsoft) - Deep natural language<br>processing for web-scale search<br><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">WORKSHOP</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Workshop and public debate on Dynamic Syntax and Lexical-Functional Grammar,</div><div style="text-align: left;">with keynote contributions by the original developers of both formalisms:</div><div style="text-align: left;">Ruth Kempson (King's College London) and Joan Bresnan (Stanford University);</div><div style="text-align: left;">chaired by Nigel Vincent (University of Manchester).</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div>CONFERENCE PROGRAMME<br><br>For the full conference programme, please refer to <a href="http://www.lfg09.net/programme.html">http://www.lfg09.net/programme.html</a>.<br><br><br>LOCAL ORGANISER<br><br>Anna Kibort, University of Cambridge & Surrey Morphology Group, United Kingdom<div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><br>PROGRAM COMMITTEE<br><br>Martin Forst, Powerset/Microsoft, United States of America<br>Louisa Sadler, University of Essex, United Kingdom<br><br>Alex Alsina, Spain<br>Maia Andréasson, Denmark<br>Avery Andrews, Australia<br>Wayan Arka, Australia<br>Ash Asudeh, Canada<br>Peter Austin, United Kingdom<br>Adams Bodomo, Hong Kong<br>Kersti Börjars, United Kingdom<br>Joan Bresnan, United States<br>Miriam Butt, Germany<br>Aoife Cahill, Germany<br>Mary Dalrymple, United Kingdom<br>Yehuda Falk, Israel<br>Anette Frank, Germany<br>Dag Haug, Norway<br>Tracy H.
