2nd CALL FOR PAPERS: LFG COLLOQUIUM AND WORKSHOPS
August 25--27, 1996
Grenoble, France
PLEASE NOTE: The organizers of LFG Colloquium and Workshops, to be
held in Grenoble, France on August 25-27, 1995 (see announcement
below), would like to make it known that students are encouraged to
submit abstracts for the colloquium and workshops. Special attention
will be paid to defraying the costs of students whose abstracts are
accepted, and who wish to participate/might not otherwise be able to
participate.
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 and Miriam Butt by
FEBRUARY 1, 1996 at the following address:
Tracy Holloway King/Miriam Butt (LFG workshop)
Linguistics Department
Stanford University
Stanford, CA 94305-2150
USA
thking at csli.stanford.edu or mutt at ims.uni-stuttgart.de
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.

Colleagues,
Here is a brief update on plans for the upcoming ICSLP 96
conference. Hope to see you there.
Tim Bunnell, Chair
Rick Foulds, Vice Chair
Fourth International Conference on Spoken Language Processing
October 3-6, 1996
Wyndham Franklin Plaza Hotel
Philadelphia, PA, USA

I. Abstract Submission Due Date
Please note that abstracts for ICSLP 96 should be submitted by
January 15, 1996.
II. Proceedings plans
Conference proceedings will be available in both print and
CDROM format. It now appears that we will also be able to
accommodate some limited multi-media features with the CDROM
version of the proceedings. Authors whose papers are accepted
for the conference will be able to submit digitized speech and
possibly short "movie" sequences for inclusion with their
papers on CDROM. Details regarding acceptable formats and
amount of data will will be available later. Needless to say,
authors will be required to submit audio/visual information in
machine readable format.
III. Technical Program Committee Chairs.
Steve Levinson, Mark Liberman, and Maureen Stone
(alphabetically) have agreed to co-chair the Technical Program
Committee for ICSLP 96.
IV. Plenary Speakers
We are pleased to announce that Professors James Flanagan and
Anne Cutler have agree to present plenary lectures at ICSLP
96.
=============================================================================
ICSLP unites researchers, developers, and clinicians for an
exchange on a wide variety of topics related to spoken
language processing by humans and machines. Conference
presentations range from basic acoustic phonetic research to
clinically oriented speech training devices to speech-based
natural language interfaces for man-machine interaction. ICSLP
96 will feature technical sessions in both oral and poster
format, plenary talks, commercial exhibits, and daily
special sessions. In addition, satellite workshops will be
held in conjunction with the conference in the areas of
interactive voice technology, spoken dialogue, speech
databases and speech I/O, and the integration of gestures and
speech. A new emphasis for ICSLP 96 will be on the clinical
applications of speech technology, including the use of speech
technology based applications for persons with disabilities.
Dates to Note:
January 15, 1996 - Paper abstracts due for review
March 15, 1996 - Acceptance notification
May 1, 1996 - Deadline for papers (camera-ready, 4 pp)
