CONFERENCE PROGRAM
HPSG-2000
7th International Conference on
Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar
Berkeley, California
22-23 July 2000
The 7th International Conference on Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar will
be held on Saturday and Sunday, July 22-23, 2000, as part of the Berkeley
Formal Grammar Conference 2000 at the University of California, Berkeley, The
event will consist of LFG2000 (July 19-20), HPSG-2000 (July 22-23), and a
common day of workshops on July 21, entitled "Lexical and Constructional
Explanations in Constraint-Based Grammar", offering a valuable opportunity for
interaction among researchers of these two frameworks.
Invited speakers for HPSG-2000 are John Hawkins (University of Southern
California), and Donna Gerdts and Thomas Hukari (Simon Fraser University and
the University of Victoria). The conference will also feature an invited
tutorial on Norwegian, identifying challenges that the grammar poses for HPSG,
presented by Lars Johnsen and Torbjorn Nordgard (University of Bergen & the
Norwegian University of Science and Technology).
