Meeting Description:

HPSG is a well-developed, precisely formalized theory of grammar whose architecture is based on the notion of constraint satisfaction. Linguistic objects are modeled as feature structures organized via a system of types and constraint inheritance, drawing key insights from research in object-oriented paradigms. The HPSG community values explicit, large-scale grammar development and explores psycholinguistic models, as well as the development of efficient computational systems for processing natural languages using HPSG grammars.

The HPSG 2025 conference will be a two-day main conference (2 September - 3 September), followed by a one-day (4 September) workshop, entitled "Minor sentence types–––their form and its impact on grammar", which has been announced at https://linguistlist.org/issues/36/527/
