                                 INVITED SPEAKERS

 To be announced

                                     WORKSHOP
             "Binding Theory and Invariants in Anaphoric Relations"
                                  (announcement)
                                  22 August 2005

 Anaphoric invariants and binding theory have been one of the central
 topics in formal linguistics and there have been interesting recent
 developments in semantic approaches to binding theory, in the research
 from psycholinguistics and neuro-imaging, and in the study of the
 connections between binding and discourse.  The aim of the workshop is
 to stimulate the exchange of contributions on this subject between
 HPSG and the results arising from other methodological or theoretical
 persuasions.

 A separate call for the workshop will follow containing a detailed
 description.

 The format of submission and the deadlines for the workshop will be
 identical to that of the main conference.

                               SUBMISSION DETAILS

 For both the main conference and the workshop, we invite E-MAIL
 submissions of abstracts for presentations which should consist of two
 parts:

 1. a separate information page in plain text format, containing
    - author name(s)
    - affiliation(s)
    - e-mail and postal address(es)
    - title of paper

 2. an extended abstract of not more than 5 (five) pages, including all
 figures and references. Abstracts should be in PDF format.

 All abstracts should be sent to Manfred Sailer
 (manfred.sailer at phil.uni-goettingen.de).

 Abstracts for the main conference should mention 'HPSG-05' and
 abstracts for the workshop should mention 'binding-05' in the
 subject line. All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least
 two reviewers. Authors are asked to avoid self-references in the
 abstracts.
