    The 11th International Conference on HPSG will take place in Belgium
    on 3-6 August 2004, hosted by the Centre for Computational Linguistics
    of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. The conference will include a
    workshop on SEMANTICS in GRAMMAR ENGINEERING.

    MAIN CONFERENCE (4-6 August 2004)

    Abstracts are solicited for 30-minute presentations (followed by 10
    minutes discussion) which address linguistic, foundational, or
    computational issues relating to the framework of Head-Driven Phrase
    Structure Grammar.

    INVITED SPEAKERS

    Jonathan Ginzburg
    Henriette de Swart

    WORKSHOP on SEMANTICS in GRAMMAR ENGINEERING (3 August 2004)

    Semantic formalisms, such as Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS),
    Constraint Language for Lambda Structures (CLLS), and the LFG "Glue"
    Semantics, among others, have been designed to meet the demands of
    both theoretical linguistics and natural language processing. The aim of
    the workshop is to provide a forum for the discussion of empirical and
    formal approaches to semantics and the syntax-semantics interface in the
    development of (large-scale) computational grammars.

    INVITED SPEAKER

    Ann Copestake

    We solicit abstracts (for 30+10 minute presentations) focusing on:
    -- the modeling and implementation of aspect, situation types, semantic
       argument structure, semantic decomposition, word sense disambiguation,
       anaphora resolution, etc.,
    -- the use of semantic formalisms in grammars for applications such as
       machine translation, information extraction, dialogue, etc.,
    -- the relationship between semantic representation and disambiguation,
    -- other themes relevant to the role of semantics in grammar
       engineering.

    SUBMISSION DETAILS

    For both the main conference and the workshop,
    we invite E-MAIL submissions of abstracts for presentations,
    to consist of two parts

       - author name(s)
       - affiliation(s)
       - e-mail and postal address(es)
       - title of paper

    2) an extended abstract of not more than 5 (five) pages, including all
       figures and references. Abstracts should preferably be in PDF format.

    All abstracts should be sent to

                              gosse@let.rug.nl

    Abstracts for the main conference should mention 'HPSG-04' and abstracts
    for the workshop should mention 'workshopHPSG-04' in the subject
    line.

    All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers.
    Authors are asked to avoid self-references in the abstracts.
