FORMAL GRAMMAR CONFERENCE

August 7-8, 1999,
Utrecht, The Netherlands

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

FG99 is the 5th conference on Formal Grammar held in conjunction
with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information, which
takes place in 1999 in Utrecht. Previous meetings were held in Barcelona
(1995), Prague (1996), Aix-en-Provence (1997), and as part of the
Joint Conference on Formal Grammar, Head-Driven Phrase
Structure Grammar, and Categorial Grammar (FHCG98) held

AIMS and SCOPE

FG99 provides a forum for the presentation of new and original
research on formal grammar, especially with regard to the application
of formal methods to natural language analysis.

Themes of interest include, but are not limited to,

* formal and computational syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and phonology;
* model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics;
* constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar;
* foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar.

Previous conferences in this series have welcomed papers from
a wide variety of frameworks.

SPECIAL SESSIONS and INVITED SPEAKERS. There will be a symposium on

Grammatical Resources and Grammatical Inference

Invited speakers will be announced with the circulation
of the second call for papers in early January.
