First Call for papers
HPSG 2015

NTU, Singapore, 10-14 August 2015

Abstracts are solicited for presentations which address linguistic, foundational, or computational issues relating to or in the spirit of the framework of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar.

Conference Format:

There will be two sessions: a main session, with 30 minute presentations, and a poster session. The poster session is intended as a means of encouraging the presentation of work that is not yet fully mature. Prospective speakers may submit either a 5 page abstract for the main session, or a 2 page abstract for the poster session. Abstracts submitted initially for the main session may be accepted, at the discretion of the program committee, for presentation in the poster session instead.

Venue and Related Events

The HPSG Conference will take place at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, 10-12 August 2015

Workshop:

The main conference will be followed by Affectedness Workshop 2015: Verb Classes and the Scale of Change in Affected Arguments (13-14 August 2015). There is a separate call for papers for the workshop.

DELPH-IN Summit:

The 2015 DELPH-IN Summit will be held at NTU 3-7 August 2015, and we intend to organize an informal event around grammar engineering during the weekend between DELPH-IN and HPSG.
