This may be of some interest to the HPSG community... Best, Adam P. ======================================================================== On-line Conference "The 40-th Anniversary of Generativism" 1-12.12.1997 Since Chomsky's "Syntactic Structures", published in 1957, the generative view in linguistics has become widely popular. Thus, this year is the 40-th anniversary of the publication. In past forty years the generative linguistics has passed several stages of development and currently it can be considered a broad and dynamically growing theory, having multiply links both within the linguistics and with other sciences. We see the goal of the conference as helding an overall discussion on generative linguistics. The work of the conference should be organized in 4 sections: Section 1. History & methodology. Section 2. Current investigations in generative linguistics in all of it's variants (GB-theory, minimalistic program, etc.). Section 3. Development perspectives, unsolved problems. Section 4. Interconnections with other sciences: biolinguistics, psyholinguistics, neurolinguistics, cognitive, computational, mathematical linguistics. The conference organized by the electronic journal "Web Journal of Formal, Computational & Cognitive Linguistics" (http://www.ksu.ru/kazan/science/fccl/index.html). Program and organizing committee Noam Chomsky chomsky@mit.edu Carlos Otero otero@ucla.edu Robert Freidin bob@clarity.princeton.edu Neil Smith neil@linguistics.ucl.ac.uk Henk van Riemsdijk riemsdyk@kub.nl Martin Everaert everaert@nias.knaw.nl Valery Solovyev solovyev@tatincom.ru The invited reports are: Victoria A. Fromkin "The Mind, Cognition and Generative Grammar" Lyle Jenkins "Biolinguistics - Structure, Development and Evolution of Language" Kazuko Inoue "Case marking vs. case checking in Japanese generative grammar" Martin Everaert "Generative Perspectives on Bound Anaphora".
