Call For Papers: HPSG 2010

[Olivier Bonami]

The 17th International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure  
Grammar

July 7-10, 2010.

http://hpsg2010.linguist.univ-paris-diderot.fr/

HPSG-2010 will take place in July 2010 in Paris, France.


FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

Abstracts are solicited for presentations which address linguistic,  
foundational, or computational issues relating to the framework of  
Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar.


INVITED SPEAKERS

The two invited speakers are:

Daniel Flickinger (Stanford University)
Barbara Hemforth (Université Paris Descartes)


CONFERENCE FORMAT

There will be two sessions: a main session, with 30 minute  
presentations, and a poster session. The poster session is intended as  
a means of encouraging the presentation of work that is not yet fully  
mature.

Prospective speakers may submit either a 5 page abstract for the main  
session, or a 2 page abstract for the poster session. Abstracts  
submitted initially for the main session may be accepted, at the  
discretion of the program committee, for presentation in the poster  
session instead.


RELATED EVENTS

The HPSG Conference will take place on July 9-10. It will be preceded  
by a day of tutorials on July 7, and a workshop on Morphology and  
Formal Grammar on July 8. The two tutorials are:

The LinGO Grammar Matrix: Rapid Grammar Development for Hypothesis  
Testing (presented by Emily Bender and Antske Fokkens)

Prosody and Information Structure in Grammar: Evidence from French  
(presented by Claire Beyssade, Jean-Marie Marandin and Cristel Portes)

The workshop on Morphology and Formal Grammar has a separate program  
committee and submission procedure. Details can be found at:
