The 6th International Lexical Functional Grammar Conference will be held by the
Department of Linguistics at the University of Hong Kong from Monday June 25 until
Wednesday June 27, 2001.
LFG-2001 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
(perhaps violable) constraints from multiple levels, including category information,
grammatical relations, and semantic information.Further information about the syntactic
theory LFG can be obtained from:

KEYNOTE SPEAKER We are pleased to announce that Sam Mchombo will give an invited talk at the conference. |
|
SUBMISSIONS The conference will primarily involve 30-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. Presentations should describe original,unpublished work. [back to menu] |

POSTERS
This year we're going to encourage an active poster session. All presenters will be invited to display posters and to have a chance to chat in more detail with participants about their work. In addition we will accept papers for poster presentation only. |
| Late deadline for poster-only submissions | 23 March 2001 |
|
WORKSHOPS Workshops are a small group of talks (2-4) on a coherent topic that can be expected to generate opposing views and discussion with the broader audience. Participants to workshops are usually invited. Workshop papers should be distributed in advance among participants and participants should refer to each others approaches. At this point in time, we welcome suggestions for workshops from potential organisers or people with certain interests. Suggestions for workshops should be sent to the local organizers at: lfg2001@hkusua.hku.hk [back to menu] |

SUBMISSION SPECIFICATIONS Abstracts for talks must be received by February 15, 2001, while poster-only abstracts will be accepted until March 15, 2001. All abstracts should be sent to the program committee chairs at the address given below. For workshops, further site information or offers of organisational help, contact the local organisers at the address below. Submissions should be in the form of abstracts only. In contrast to previous years, we are not acccepting the submission of full papers. Abstracts should be one A4 page in 10pt or larger type and include a title. Omit name and affiliation, and obvious self reference. A second page may be used for data, c-/f- and related structures, and references. Submissions should indicate whether they wish to be considered only as a talk, as either a talk or a poster, or only as a poster/demonstration. In the absence of specification, submissions will be considered for both classes, and the program chairs may decide that certain submissions are better as poster presentations than as read papers. Abstracts may be submitted by email or by regular mail (or by both means as a safety measure). Email submission is preferred. Regular Mail: Include: Email: Include the paper title, name(s) of the author(s), address, phone/fax number, email address, and whether the author(s) are students in the body of your email message. Include or preferably attach your paper as either a plain ASCII text, PDF, HTML, or postscript file. Postscript files require special care to avoid problems: make sure your system is set to include all fonts (or at least all but the standard 13); if using a recent version of Word, make sure you click the printer Properties button and then the Postscript tab, and there choose Optimize for Portability; on all platforms make sure the system is not asking for a particular paper size or other device-specific configuration. It is your responsibility to send us a file that us and our reviewers can print. You can often test this by trying to look at the file in a screen previewer such as Ghostview. All abstracts will be reviewed by at least three people. Reviewing will be
anonymous and confidential. Papers will appear in the proceedings, which will
be published online by CSLI Publications. Selected papers may also appear in a printed
volume published by CSLI Publications. |
