Workshop on Grammar Theory and Grammar Implementation
17.04.–18.04.2009 at the Freie Universität Berlin.Call for Participation
We are interested in all aspects of grammar theory and grammar implementation. A strong focus is on work on German or Germanic languages and implementation in constraint-based theories, but submissions concerning other languages or implementations of grammar fragments/parsers in derivational frameworks are welcome as well.We explicitly encourage the presentation of work in progress. According to this philosophy the selection of papers is not based on a review process of abstracts but on a first-come-first-served basis.
The workshop is organized by the scientific network Constraintbasierte Grammatikanalyse: Empirie, Theorie, Implementierung (CoGETI) and the Center for the Study of European Languages of the FU Berlin (ZEUS) and is supported by a DFG grant to CoGETI.
