[HPSG-L] CFP: Workshop Experimental and Corpus-based Approaches to Ellipsis, 5th edition (co-located with HPSG 2023)

[Gabriela Bilbiie]

Dear HPSG community,

The fifth edition of the *Experimental and Corpus-based Approaches to
Ellipsis (ECBAE) *will be held in a hybrid format on 09 July 2023 at the
University of Massachusetts Amherst (the venue of the LSA Linguistic
Institute 2023), in conjunction with the 30th International Conference on
Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (07-08 July 2023).

*Invited speaker*: Dan Parker (The Ohio State University)

The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers who have
been working on elliptical phenomena with special emphasis on methodologies
aiming to improve the empirical foundations of the discussion, specifically
psycholinguistic experimentation (acceptability and eye-tracking
experiments, in particular) and corpus investigations. Contributions will
be welcome concerning (i) the specific experimental methodologies being
used in psycholinguistics, and how they can be improved to give more
reliable and interpretable results; (ii) the way corpus data can be brought
to bear on theoretical questions; and (iii) how corpus data can be used to
improve the results of psycholinguistic experiments, specifically by
increasing the naturalness of the materials by providing new hypotheses. We
are proposing this conference as a continuation of a conference series held
successfully during the LSA 2017 and 2019 Linguistic Institutes, online in
2020, and during the SLE 2022 conference.

*Submissions*

We invite anonymous submissions to the ECBAE workshop:

All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers.

Accepted papers are expected to give a 30-minute presentation.

The workshop proceedings will be published online in a collective volume. A
call for contributions to the proceedings will be issued after the
conference.
