			       HPSG-2000
		   7th International Conference on
		 Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar
		  University of California, Berkeley

			    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.

Abstracts for HPSG-2000 are solicited for 20-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.  Authors are particularly encouraged to submit papers which will be
accessible to researchers and students working in both HPSG and LFG.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

  We invite E-MAIL submissions of abstracts for 20-minute papers, to 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 may be either in plain ASCII or in
     (unix-compatible encoded) PostScript, PDF, or DVI format.

  Abstracts should be sent to

Subject:  Lang Acquisition: The Annual Review of Lang Acquisition

NEW ANNUAL REVIEW IN FIRST LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

CALL FOR PAPERS

John Benjamins Publishing Company is launching a new yearly publication:

The Annual Review of Language Acquisition

The Annual Review will be devoted to research in the domain of first
language acquisition, i.e., the process of acquiring command of a first
language. It will focus on research that has been reported in recently
defended PhD theses. The major share of contributions to the yearbook will
consist of 20-25 page (approximately) edited summaries of, or excerpts
from, dissertations addressing issues in first language acquisition. These
papers should be written by the original author of the dissertation,
conform to the format of a journal article, and thus be comprehensible
without reference to the source text.

The Annual Review will publish reports of original research pertaining to
various approaches to first language acquisition, be it experimental,
observational, computational, clinical or theoretical, provided that the
work is of high quality. The Annual Review also welcomes studies in which
first language acquisition is compared to L2 acquisition, as well as
studies on language acquisition under abnormal conditions. In all of the
areas covered, the Annual Review of Language Acquisition will be dedicated
to creative and groundbreaking research.

The yearbook, in its printed form, will be supplemented by an attractive
website. The website will provide access to electronic copies the printed
papers, but, more importantly, it will present background materials such as
a resume of the author, excerpts of audio or video materials related to the
reported research, tips for further reading, and links to relevant websites.

Any student who has a dissertation completed in 1999 is invited to submit a
manuscript based on this work. In order to be eligible for publication, the
manuscript should be of outstanding quality. Particularly, contributions
are sought which excel with regard to the integration of behavioral data
and (psycho) linguistic theorizing. More specifically, the Annual Review
sollicits papers which
* develop new theoretical ideas to account for a set of facts;
* open up a new empirical domain, e.g. explore a relatively unknown
language, or apply a new or unknown experimental approach.
* report findings that are considered important for pertinent debates in
the field.

Next to these research reports, which will be subject to peer-review, each
issue of the Annual Review will contain one critical review of the
state-of-the-art in a subdomain of first language acquisition research.
This paper will be commissioned by the editors.
