Subject:  Mongolian parsers and NLP grammars

I have seen references on the Internet to a DCG parser by Purev Jaimai
and some new grammars for the parsing of Mongolian coming out of the
EALPIIT03 NLP conference in UlaanBaatar this July. I would like to
read more. Can anyone tell me how I may purchase a copy of the
EALPIIT03 proceedings? or how I might contact the authors? I am
considering building a morpho-syntactic analyzer for Mongolian, but I
do not want to ''re-invent the wheel'' if someone has already created
one.

Is there any evidence to suggest that the German language has changed
in rhythmic structure over time eg. over the past three hundred years,
so that it was previously more ''syllable-timed'' as opposed to its
current status as a ''stress-timed'' language?
