Dear LFG community,

I would like to remind you of the international HPSG conference (hosted online), to which you are cordially invited. Please feel free to forward this call for papers to anyone who might be interested.

The 29th International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar will be virtually hosted at Nagoya University and the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics on 29 July - 31 July 2022. It is an online event. Abstracts are invited that address linguistic, foundational, or computational issues relating to or in the spirit of the framework of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar. Comparison of HPSG work with related theoretical approaches is also welcome.

Conference Format: The HPSG 2022 conference will be a two-day main conference. It will be followed by a one-day workshop on Computational Linguistics on East Asian Languages, which will be announced separately. Presentations will be pre-recorded and pre-loaded on the conference website, and the discussion period will be online.

Invited speakers:
    • Francis Bond (NTU)
    • Seiko Fujii (The University of Tokyo)

Submissions: We welcome two types of submissions for the main HPSG conference:
- Long papers (4-page abstract + 1 page data, figures & references; 20 minute pre-recorded presentation + 15 minute online discussion)
- Short papers (2-page abstract + 1 page data, figures & references; 10 minute pre-recorded presentation + 10 minute online discussion)
Please note that abstracts submitted for the "long paper" track can be accepted as "short papers" (and vice versa). Only "long papers" will appear in the proceedings.

All abstracts should be submitted in PDF format via: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpsg22

All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. The submissions should not include the authors' names, and authors are asked to avoid self-references. Please direct any questions to the Program Committee Chair: Elodie Winckel (hpsg22@easychair.org).

A call for contributions to the proceedings will be issued after the Conference. Proceedings of previous conferences are available at: https://proceedings.hpsg.xyz/issue/archive.
