II. Conference Announcement & Call for Papers

                1st European Conference on
        Formal Description of Slavic Languages
                30 November - 2 December 1995
                   Universitaet Leipzig

Over the last decades linguistics has seen the development of formal
models that aim at an explicit description of the complex and
interdependent grammatical properties of natural languages. The
conference will for the first time bring together those linguists who are
particularly concerned with the formal description of Slavic languages. A
European forum will be created that will ultimately lead to a better
communication between formal Slavists, similar to the annual Formal
Approaches to Slavic Linguistics workshops in the United States of
America.

Abstracts are invited for 30-minute talks (20-minute presentation plus 10
minutes for discussion) on issues in syntax, morphology, phonology, and
semantics of the Slavic languages. Presentation will be in any of the
Slavic languages, English, or German.

Deadline for submitting abstracts: May 30, 1995

Organizing Committee:
Gerhild Zybatow, Dorothee Fehrmann, Uwe Junghanns
