HPSG 2010 Program

[Olivier Bonami]

Dear HPSG list members,

Please find below the provisional program of the HPSG 2010 conference.

The conference will take place on July 9-10 and be preceded by two  
related events:

- on July 7, a day of HPSG-related tutorials:

1. The LinGO Grammar Matrix: Rapid Grammar Development for Hypothesis  
Testing (presented by Emily Bender and Antske Fokkens)
2. Prosody and Information Structure in Grammar: Evidence from French  
(presented by Claire Beyssade, Jean-Marie Marandin and Cristel Portes)

- on July 8, a workshop on Morphology and Formal Grammar featuring  
many talks which should be of interest to the HPSG community. You will  
receive the program in a separate message.

We encourage you to  plan your trip early, as July is the high  
touristic season.
Also please help us plan the conference by registering from the  
Conference website: http://hpsg2010.linguist.univ-paris-diderot.fr/

We hope to see many of you in Paris in July!
