FORMAL GRAMMAR Prague August 10-11, 1996 in conjunction with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information In 1996 the Eighth European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI VIII) is to be held in Prague, August 12-23. 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 in grammar formalisms. As at ESSLLI VII last year in Barcelona, the programme this year includes a conference on Formal Grammar to be held the weekend before the Summer School, which will provide a forum for contemporary research in this domain. Themes of interest include formal and computational phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics; logical methods in linguistics; and foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar. We invite e-mail submissions of abstracts for 30-minute papers (including questions and comments) addressing these themes. Abstracts should be sent to fgesslli@ufal.mff.cuni.cz An abstract should contain the author's name, affiliation, e-mail address and postal address in the initial lines; the body of the abstract should consist of an ASCII or Postscript file of a document of not more than 800 words. To facilitate anonymous review, the initial lines containing information concerning the author should be easily removable. The deadline for submissions is April 30, 1996. Notification of acceptance will be by the end of May. Final versions of papers are to be received by 7th July for inclusion in a proceedings to be distributed at the time of the Summer School.
