The 12th International Conference on HPSG will take place in Lisbon on

                                MAIN CONFERENCE
                               23-24 August 2004

Abstracts are solicited for 30 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.

                                INVITED SPEAKERS

To be announced

                                    WORKSHOP
            "Binding Theory and Invariants in Anaphoric Relations"
                                 22 August 2005

Anaphoric invariants and binding theory have been one of the central
topics in formal linguistics and there have been interesting recent
developments in semantic approaches to binding theory, in the research
from psycholinguistics and neuro-imaging, and in the study of the
connections between binding and discourse.  The aim of the workshop is
to stimulate the exchange of contributions on this subject between
HPSG and the results arising from other methodological or theoretical
persuasions.

A separate call containing a detailed description of the workshop can
be found at: http://bindingwksp.di.fc.ul.pt.

The format of submission and the deadlines for the workshop are
identical to that of the main conference.

                              SUBMISSION DETAILS

For both the main conference and the workshop, we invite E-MAIL
submissions of abstracts for presentations which should consist of two
parts:

1. a separate information page in plain text format, containing
   - author name(s)
   - affiliation(s)
   - e-mail and postal address(es)
   - title of paper

2. an extended abstract of not more than 5 (five) pages, including all
figures and references. Abstracts should be in PDF format.

All abstracts should be sent to Manfred Sailer
(manfred.sailer at phil.uni-goettingen.de).
