Francis Bond and Joanna Sio

*Workshop on “Formal Approaches to Under-resourced Languages”*

8 July, 2024, Palacký University Olomouc

The workshop “Formal Approaches to Under-resourced Languages” is part of
the HPSG 2024 Conference (https://bond-lab.github.io/2024-hpsg/). The aim
of the workshop is to promote interdisciplinary and cross-language
discussion on approaches to formal linguistic analyses of under-resourced
languages. We strongly encourage researchers from outside the HPSG
framework (such as LFG, GF, and minimalism) to submit. We take an open
perspective to the definition of a “under-resourced language,”
acknowledging that this designation is both imperfect and often the result
of many contributing factors. Possible topics include, but are not limited
to syntactic/semantic analysis, development of language resources with
annotations beyond the word level (treebanks, propbanks, discourse
annotations, etc.), and especially involvement of the communities speaking
those languages in the process of linguistic analysis.


***Submissions***

We invite anonymous submissions to the workshop:

·      Papers should be 4 pages long, + 1 page for data, figures &
references.

·      The submissions should not include the authors’ names, and authors
are asked to avoid self-references.

·      All abstracts should be submitted in via Easychair:

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

Additionally, 10 minutes are reserved for discussion.

A call for contributions to the proceedings (as part of the HPSG
Conference) will be issued after the workshop. Proceedings of previous
