Bask in sunshine, very far from the nearest categorial grammarian... Cheers, Chris. Final Call for Papers LFG98 1998 INTERNATIONAL LEXICAL FUNCTIONAL GRAMMAR CONFERENCE 30 June - 2 July 1998 The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia ----> Submission receipt deadline: 30 January 1998 <---- URL: http://www.sultry.arts.usyd.edu.au/LFG98/ Enquiries: lfg98@sultry.arts.usyd.edu.au You are invited you to participate in LFG98 which will take place from 30 June till 2 July 1998 at Emmanuel College, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia. LFG98, the third in a series of international conferences, will take place just before the Australian Linguistic Society annual meeting and the two week Australian Linguistic Institute. The conference welcomes work both within the formal architecture of Lexical-Functional Grammar and typological, formal, and computational work within the 'spirit of LFG', as a lexicalist approach to language employing a parallel, constraint-based framework. The conference aims to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers interested in nonderivational approaches to grammar, where grammar is seen as the interaction of constraints from multiple levels, including category information, grammatical relations, and semantic information. Further information about the syntactic theory LFG can be obtained from: http://clwww.essex.ac.uk/LFG/ PARTICIPATION LFG98 will be attended by most of the leading figures in the international LFG community including Farrell Ackerman, Avery Andrews, Kersti Borjars, Joan Bresnan, Mary Dalrymple, Ron Kaplan, K.P. Mohanan, Tara Mohanan, Nigel Vincent, Annie Zaenen, ... SUBMISSIONS The conference will involve 20-minute talks, poster/system presentations, and workshops. Talks and poster presentations will focus on results from completed as well as ongoing research, with an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational. We particularly welcome papers and suggestions for workshops on languages of the Asia-Pacific region. Abstracts and papers must be received by 30 January 1998, and should be submitted to the program committee chairs at the address given below.
