			  FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

			       HPSG-99
		   6th International Conference on
		 Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar
                       University of Edinburgh


			   August 4-6, 1999

The 6th International Conference on HPSG will be held at the
University of Edinburgh, Scotland, on August 4th to 6th 1999, hosted
by the Human Communication Research Centre and the Department of
Linguistics.

Abstracts are solicited for 20-minute presentations (followed by 10
minutes of discussion) which address linguistic, foundational, or
computational issues relating to the framework of Head-Driven Phrase
Structure Grammar.


SPECIAL SESSION and INVITED SPEAKERS

The conference will feature a special session on GRAMMATICAL
INTERFACES, exploring the interaction of parts of the sign that encode
different types of grammatical information, e.g. syntax/morphology,
semantics/syntax, phonology/syntax, etc.  This session will have a
number of invited speakers, as well as submitted papers. The second
call for papers will provide further details about the invited
speakers. Submissions for the session should be made in the same way
as for the main session, but marked 'Grammatical Interfaces'.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

We invite E-MAIL submissions of abstracts for 30-minute papers (including
questions and comments).

A submission should consist of two parts: 

- an information sheet (in ascii), containing the name of the author(s), 
  affiliation(s), e-mail and postal address(es) and a title; 

- an abstract, consisting of a description of not more than 5 pages 
  (including figures and references). Abstracts may be either in plain 
  ASCII or in (unix-compatible encoded) postscript, PDF, or DVI. 

Abstracts can be sent to

PUBLICATION

Pending final approval by the publisher, a selected number of papers
