Dear all,

This is a reminder that our next LFG f-structure comparison meeting will be held online on *Thursday 29 Feb 2024 (9 am-11 am) (UTC-0)*.

The discussion will focus on the following sentences:

6. Don't push the button.

7. The farmer gave his neighbour an old tractor.

8. The farmer cut the tree down.

Anyone who is developing a grammar using the XLE grammar development platform (https://ling.sprachwiss.uni-konstanz.de/pages/xle/) is welcome to attend. We would also welcome participation by anyone using the Grammar Writer's Workbench ( https://parc-public.pages-external.parc.com/xle/isl/groups/nltt/medley/).

From beginners to experts, all are welcome!

Similar to the previous meetings, all participants will translate these sentences into the language they are working on, and produce and print out the f-structures to PDF. There is no need to print out c-structures. We have created a Google Drive directory for the f-structures, which currently contains f-structures parsed by English, Norwegian, Polish, Irish, Mandarin, and Welsh grammars. In advance of the meeting, participants will deposit their f-structures for the sentences there. Please contact one of us if you would like to have access to this repository.

In the ParGram consortium, the idea is that differences in f-structures for translational equivalents should reflect syntactic differences between the languages -- there should be no arbitrary differences to do with spelling of feature names or other linguistically irrelevant details.

If you have any questions, or if you would like to be added to the list of people with access to the f-structure repository, please send an email to one of us.

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday 29 Feb 2024.
