CfP: 2nd International Workshop on Constrained-Based Grammar

[Stefan Müller]

Hi everybody,

This is the call for participation for the 2nd International Workshop on
Constrained-Based Grammar to be held from 12.07. to 13.07.2005 in Bremen.

---------------

Call for Participation

Detailed analyses have been developed in constraint-based theories like
HPSG and LFG. Apart from the issue of empirical adequacy, formal issues
were raised, among them:

     * the nature of complex predicates and the mechanisms used to
formalize them
     * linearization versus movement analyses of various phenomena
     * the nature of functional projections
     * configurational and non-configurational properties of scope
determination
     * anaphoric relations within clauses and across clause boundaries

The idea of this workshop is to provide a forum to present and discuss
current HPSG proposals exploring such empirical and formal issues. The
main focus is on Germanic languages, but submissions discussing other
languages are also welcome.

We are especially interested in contributions regarding

     * the empirical base, i.e. systematic collection and representation
of data
     * the integration of syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic modules
     * issues concerning the implementation of grammar fragments

We explicitly encourage the presentation of work in progress. According
to this philosophy the selection of papers is not based on a review
process of abstracts but on a first-come-first-served basis.

The workshop is supported by a DFG grant to the scientific network
Constraintbasierte Grammatikanalyse: Empirie, Theorie, Implementierung.
