Following up on the HPSG workshops organised in Frankfurt (2012,2015) and Paris (2014), I am happy to announce that the Laboratoire de linguistique formelle (CNRS & Paris-Diderot) is going to host the fourth workshop of the series end of March 2017.
The aim of these workshops is to provide a platform for (informal) discussion of current work in HPSG: theoretical, formal, as well as computational. The workshop is understood to be complementary to the annual international conference: the scope is regional (European) rather than international, there will be no proceedings, no reviewing, no invited speakers, and no registration fee.
In order to make it bearable to organise these workshops regularly (in Paris, Frankfurt, or possibly elsewhere), the idea is to keep all organisation and administration to an absolute minimum.
Therefore:
- We send out a call for participation in which we ask who is interested in giving a presentation at the next meeting (this is the one!);
- we shall create a schedule for the workshop, reserve a room, provide a projector, organise restaurant reservations, etc;
- we shall create a web page with the workshop schedule, hotel recommendations, and directions to the venue:

Participants must organise their own travel and hotel accommodation and must cover all their own expenses.
Here are the details for the upcoming Paris venue:
- Location:
University of Chicago Center in Paris, 6 rue Thomas Mann, F-75013 Paris (Campus Paris Rive Gauche; M°/RER Bibliothèque François Mitterand, Tram Avenue de France) - Dates:
Fri 24 - Sat 25 March 2017 - Deadlines:
If you want to present at the workshop, please let me know before 15 January 2017, the earlier the better. I would like to advertise the programme at least several weeks before the workshop.
