Formal Grammar Conference - FG99
PROGRAM
August 7-8, 1999 Utrecht, The Netherlands
In August 1999, the Eleventh European Summer School in Logic, Lan-
guage and Information (ESSLLI XI) will be held in Utrecht, The Nether-
lands, August 9-20. The ESSLLI Summer Schools have become a forum
for work on formal grammar, encompassing the overlapping interests of
work in formal linguistics, computational linguistics, and the role of logic
and grammar formalisms. 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 in
Saarbr"ucken last August. Themes of interest include formal and com-
putational syntax, semantics, and pragmatics; head-driven phrase struc-
ture grammar and categorial grammar; model-theoretic and proof-theoretic
methods in linguistics; constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches
to grammar; and foundational, methodological and architectural issues in
grammar.
Invited Lectures:
Marcelo Finger (Department of Computer Science, University of Sao Paulo)
Ed Keenan & Ed Stabler (Department of Linguistics, UCLA)
Symposium: Grammatical Resources and Grammatical Inference
David Dowty (Ohio State) Polly Jacobson (Brown) Gerhard J"ager (Berlin)
Reinhard Muskens (Tilburg) Mark Steedman (Edinburgh)
commentator: Johan van Benthem (Amsterdam)
On the following pages, a detailed program of the conference is pro-
vided. Registration for the conference should be done via the ESSLLI XI
Secretariat. The conference fee of Dfl. 80 includes a copy of the conference
proceedings. Online registration for FG-99 and joint registration covering
both FG99 and ESSLLI XI can be arranged at
Accommodation can be arranged via ESSLLI XI.
