CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

RECENT ADVANCES IN DEPENDENCY GRAMMAR

August 28th, 2004
Workshop to be held in conjunction with COLING 2004

[ http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/conf/dg2004/index.phtml ]

************************************************************************
*

Over the last years, there has been a strong revival of interest for
dependency grammar, following up on, and contributing to, the recent
advances in formal grammar and in computational linguistics. Dependency
grammar is, however, more of a "perspective" on grammar than a singular
framework, which has led to a great variety of proposals making this
perspective more concrete.

The last workshop dedicated purely to dependency grammar was the
Dependency Grammar workshop organized in conjunction with ACL-COLING
1998 in Montreal.
The goal of the current workshop is to offer a dedicated forum where
the community can present and assess recent advances in dependency
grammar, discuss issues, progress and prespectives, and to foster new
collaborations. The program for the workshop is given below.
