15th International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar



Abstracts are solicited for presentations which address linguistic, foundational, or computational issues relating to the framework of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar. Each presentation will be allotted 40 minutes, but the talk itself must be at most 30 minutes long, leaving at least 10 minutes for discussion. The last day of the conference will be devoted to a workshop on "Grammar at the Interfaces", whose purpose is to explore not just various problems regarding grammar-internal interfaces (such as the syntax-semantics interface and the morphology-syntax interface) but also issues surrounding the interface between competence grammar and extragrammatical factors.

Submissions

We will use an online submission system. All abstracts should be submitted via http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpsg2008. Abstracts should be in PDF format and should not be more than 5 (five) pages long.

Please direct any questions to the Program Committee Chair: hpsg2008@easychair.org

Abstracts for the main conference should mention 'HPSG-08' and abstracts for the workshop should mention 'Workshop-08' in the title. All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. Abstracts should not include the authors' names and authors are asked to avoid self-references. The Program Committee reserves the right to reassign accepted papers from the main conference to the workshop, and vice versa.
