The 32nd International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure 
Grammar (HPSG 2025)

Date: 02-Sep-2025 - 03-Sep-2025
Location: Centro de Linguística da Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal
Contact Person: Jakob Maché
Meeting Email: hpsg2025 at easychair.org

Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; 
General Linguistics; Linguistic Theories; Syntax

Call Deadline: 15-Mar-2025


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, which will 
be announced separately.

Anonymous abstracts are invited that address linguistic, foundational, 
or computational issues relating to or in the spirit of the framework of 
Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar. Submissions should be 4 pages 
long, + 1 page for data, figures & references. They should be submitted 
in PDF format. The submissions should not include the authors’ names, 
and authors are asked to avoid self-references. All abstracts should be 
submitted by 15 March, 2025, via Easychair:

Deadline for abstracts:  15 March 2025

Notification of acceptance:  30 April 2025

Conference:  2 September - 3 September 2025 (followed by the workshop on 
4 September)

Invited speakers: TBA

Conference proceedings submission: 15 October 2025


All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. 
Each accepted abstract will be given 30 minutes for presentation. 
Additionally, 10 minutes will be reserved for discussion.

conference. The proceedings are going to be an indexed publication; the 
contributions will undergo a separate round of reviews. The proceedings
