ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS: LFG COLLOQUIUM AND WORKSHOPS
August 25--27, 1996
Grenoble, France
An LFG colloquium and workshops will take place in August 1996 in
Grenoble, France. Papers are invited both within the formal
architecture of lexical-functional grammar and in the `spirit of LFG',
as a lexicalist approach to language within a parallel,
constraint-based framework.
There will be a series of 20-minute talks (with 10 minutes for
discussion), as well as workshops (see below). The talks may present
results from completed as well as ongoing research, with an emphasis
on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether
descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational.
Abstract submissions should include:
- Five copies of a one-page abstract of the paper, with a title. OMIT
name and affiliation. A second page may be used for data, c-/f- and
related structures, and references, but not for text.
- A 3" by 5" card with the title of the paper and the name(s) of the
author(s), address and e-mail address.
- If possible, please send a postscript or ascii file of the abstract
via email IN ADDITION TO the five hard copies.
Papers may be placed into appropriate workshops in consultation with
author(s).
Abstracts should be sent to Tracy Holloway King by FEBRUARY 1, 1996
at the following address:
Tracy Holloway King (LFG workshop)
Linguistics Department
Stanford University
Stanford, CA 94305-2150
USA
thking at csli.stanford.edu
Important dates:
February 1, 1996: deadline for receipt of abstracts
April 1, 1996: deadline for notification of acceptance (we will
send notification earlier if possible)
We are also interested in organizing a number of workshops on topics
such as:
Semantic representations and reasoning for LFG
Relating projections (mappings between syntax, semantics, prosody, ...)
Constraint competition (in, e.g., binding theory, weak crossover)
Lexicality/complex predicates, and mapping theory
Phrase structure typology (flat vs. extended X-bar structures)
Formal architecture, formal langage results, complexity
Implementing LFG: algorithms, data structures and efficiency.
Workshop on grammar writing projects
Proposals for workshops are also welcome; please contact
Chris Manning at the following address by February 1, 1996 to
propose a workshop or to volunteer to help organize a workshop.
