Please keep your conference announcement as short as you can; LINGUIST
will not post conference announcements which in our opinion are
excessively long.  Also, please remember that, once posted, your
announcement will be permanently available at our website:

For this reason, we discourage multiple submissions of the same
conference announcement.  Thank you for your cooperation.

                          Coling-ACL '98 workshop

                  "Processing of Dependency-based Grammars"

                                   Program

                          Saturday, August 15, 1998
                           Universit de Montral
                              Montral, Canada



This one-day workshop will be a meeting point for researchers interested in
the implementation of Dependency-based Grammars (DGs). It will be a forum
for presenting different theoretical approaches to DGs, as well as
strategies adopted for their implementation. Although the focus of this
workshop is on DGs, it also aims at establishing connections between
different approaches to the modeling and implementation of grammatical
phenomena.

Nine papers have been selected for presentation at the workshop.
Additionally, four "short" papers will be included in the worhsop
proceedings. This is the pre-final program for the workshop. The schedule is
tentative and may vary slightly. Remember that you have to register for the
workshop. Information about registration can be found at the Coling-ACL
site: http://coling-acl98.iro.umontreal.ca/MainPage.html.
