TAG+ WORKSHOP--PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT

The fourth workshop on tree-adjoining grammars and related frameworks
(hence the + after TAG) will be held at the Institute for Research in
Cognitive Science at the University of Pennsylvania in August 1998,
from August 1 to August 3. Previous workshops were held at Dagstuhl
(1990), UPenn (1992), and Univ. Paris 7 (1994).

Papers on all aspects of TAG (linguistic, mathematical, computational,
and applicational), as well as papers relating TAGs to other
frameworks, are invited. As in the past there will be some invited
talks on other grammar formalisms which have interesting relationships
to TAGs (for example, Categorial Grammars and HPSG).
