Debrecen Thematic LFG Workshop -- CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

[Tibor Laczko]

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
 
DebrecenThematic Workshop on
Spatial and Temporal Relations in LFG
 
Institute of English and American Studies
University of  Debrecen, Hungary
 
April 1st, 2011
 

 Abstracts are solicited for 30-minute presentations (followed by 15-minute 
discussion periods) addressing syntactic, semantic, morphological and 
implementational issues pertaining to the treatment of spatial and temporal 
relations within the formal architecture of Lexical-Functional Grammar as well 
as in typological, formal, and computational work within the 'spirit of LFG' as 
a lexicalist approach to language employing a parallel, constraint-based 
framework. All semantic theories are welcome. We are particularly interested in 
presentations that integrate either the classic co-description approach or the 
f-structure rewrite/transfer approach recently pioneered by Crouch et al. in the 
form of Abstract Knowledge Representation (AKR).
 
This one-day thematic workshop will immediately follow the spring ParGram/ParSem 
meeting to be held at the Institute of English and American Studies, University 
of Debrecen, Hungary (March 28th – March 31st).

	* Abstract submission deadline:      January 31st, 2011
	* Notification of      acceptance/rejection by February 15th, 2011
	* Workshop: April 1st,      2011
