HPSG 2011 - Second CfP

[Berthold Crysmann]

The 18th International Conference on Head-driven Phrase Structure
Grammar (HPSG 2011)

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:

Olivier Bonami (Paris)
Tom Wasow (Stanford)

* 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.

The HPSG Conference will take place at the University of Washington
in Seattle, WA on 24-25 August 2011.
