The 28th International Conference on HPSG will be held on 28 July – 29 July 2021 as an online event.
Abstracts are invited that address linguistic, foundational, or computational issues relating to or in the spirit of the framework of HPSG. All abstracts should be submitted in PDF format via: EasyChair
The conference will be followed by an online Workshop on Negation on 30 July 2021.
Past work in HPSG covered diverse aspects of negation in different languages, as shown, for example, by the proceedings volumes of previous HPSG conferences. For this workshop, we invite contributions from all areas of grammatical description, including (but not limited to) phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics, to continue this rich tradition.
Contributions to the workshop do not necessarily have to be couched in HPSG, but an explicit relationship to or a discussion of constraint-based methods are considered a plus. We would also like to emphasise that analyses phrased in neighbouring frameworks such as Construction Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, Tree Adjoining Grammar or Categorial Grammar are very welcome. All abstracts should be submitted in PDF format via: EasyChair
Submissions
Two types of submissions for the main HPSG conference are invited:
- Long papers (4-page abstract + 1 page data, figures & references; 20 minute pre-recorded presentation + 15 minute online discussion)
- Short papers (2-page abstract + 1 page data, figures & references; 10 minute pre-recorded presentation + 10 minute online discussion)
Please note that abstracts submitted for the “long paper” track can be accepted as “short papers” (and vice versa). Only “long papers” will appear in the proceedings.
All abstracts should be submitted in PDF format via: EasyChair
All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. The submissions should not include the authors’ names, and authors are asked to avoid self-references. Please direct any questions to the Program Committee Chair: Nurit Melnik (nuritme@openu.ac.il)
Publication
A call for contributions to the proceedings will be issued after the Conference. Proceedings of previous conferences are available here.
