Dear HSPG-ers,
This is the second issue of the HPSG Gazette. Christmas seems to be a good time for calls for papers, so we changed two things in the Gazette to keep things readable. There now is a separate section CALL FOR PAPERS and (in the spirit of HPSG we believe) we decided to dissociate the email structure of the Gazette from its WWW structure. Only the basic information concerning calls for papers and upcoming events is contained in the email version while the full information is retained in the WWW edition of the Gazette:
Apart from the usual information, this issue also contains a short article by Stefan Geissler about the decision of IBM headquarters to cancel its HPSG activities in Heidelberg (cf. News).
If you have any comments regarding the form and the contents of the Gazette, please, do not hesitate to share them with us. The quality of this enterprize depends on you!
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
Fröhliche Weihnachten und ein gesundes neues Jahr!
Wesolych Swiat i Szczesliwego Nowego Roku!

Hermann Ney Aachen University of Technology Horacio Rodriguez Universidad Politecnica de Catalunya Andreas Stolcke SRI International Papers not fitting into these areas are also welcomed! Appropriate reviewers will be obtained. The remaining program committee members will be publicised with the SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS. When submitting your paper, you will be asked to target your paper to at most two areas. However, papers will be reviewed by a minimum of three experts, even if they are not in the targeted area. Additional reviewers will be obtained by the Area Chairs whenever a paper cannot be reviewed by at least three experts on the PC. It is fully expected that papers may overlap areas. Theoretical, practical, and empirical papers are requested on all the topics above, as well as any others related to computational linguistics. REQUIREMENTS Papers should describe unique work; they should emphasize completed work rather than intended work; and they should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. A paper accepted for presentation at the ACL Meeting cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences must reflect this fact on the title page and the identification page. GENERAL SUBMISSION QUESTIONS: ACL97-questions@cse.ogi.edu SUBMISSION FORMAT Papers must not exceed 3200 words (exclusive of references). Hard copy or electronic submissions must use the ACL submission style (aclsub.sty) retrievable from the ACL LISTSERV server (access to which is described below) which requires TeX 3.14 or LaTeX 2.09. Papers outside the specified length and formatting requirements will be rejected without review. Since reviewing will be blind, a title page and a separate identification page are required. The title page should include paper title, summary, word count and at most two topic area specifications (author names and addresses are omitted) and should be affixed to the paper. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity (e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...") should be avoided. Instead use references like "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991)..." The identification page should include the paper title, author(s) name(s),complete addresses, a short (5 line) summary, a word count, a specification of the topic area, document type (LaTeX or ascii; hardcopy or electronic), and whether it has been submitted to other conferences. A model submission (modelsub.tex) and a model identification page (idpage.tex) are also provided on the ACL LISTSERV server, as well as fullname.bst/fullname.sty system to be used for the bibliography. (Note however that the bibliography for a submission cannot be submitted as a separate .bib file; the actual bibliography entries must be inserted in the submitted LaTeX source file.) Postscript figures following psfig.sty may be included. Information on ACL-97 is also available on the ACL Homepage on the World Wide Web at the following address: http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~acl ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION Electronic submissions may consist of simple ascii text, a uuencoded LaTeX file, or the package produced by "aclpkg.script", which is available on the ACL LISTSERV server. Submissions that include (possibly) separate postscript figure files must be packaged using the aclpkg.script. Electronic paper submissions should be sent to ACL97-submission@cse.ogi.edu, with the subject field as "ACL-97 LaTeX submission" or "ACL-97 ascii submission."THE TEXT OF YOUR MESSAGE SHOULD INCLUDE ONLY THE UUENCODED LATEX FILE, THE ASCII FILE, OR THE OUTPUT OF aclpkg.script, AND NO OTHER INFORMATION.

ACL LISTSERV LISTSERV is a facility set up at Columbia University's Department of Computer Science to allow access to an electronic document archive by electronic mail. Requests for files from the archive should be sent as e-mail messages to: listserv@cs.columbia.edu with an empty subject field and the message body containing the request command. The most useful requests are "help" for general help on using LISTSERV, "index ACL-L" for the current contents of the ACL archive and "get ACL-L " to get a particular file named from the archive. For example, to get the ACL96 modelsub.tex file, send a message with the following body: get ACL-L modelsub.tex Answers to requests are returned by e-mail. Since the server may have many requests for different archives to process, requests are queued up and may take awhile (say, overnight) to be fulfilled. The ACL archive can also be accessed by anonymous FTP. Here is an example of how to get the same file by FTP: $ ftp ftp.cs.columbia.edu Name(ftp.cs.columbia.edu:trisha): anonymous Password:trisha@cis.upenn.edu < not echoed > ftp> cd acl-l/ACL96 ftp> get modelsub.tex.Z ftp> quit $ uncompress modelsub.tex.Z ACL INFORMATION For other information on the ACL, contact: Kathleen McKeown Columbia University Computer Science New York, NY 10027 USA Telephone: (212) 939-7118 Fax: (212) 666-0140 Email: acl@cs.columbia.edu
Date: April 7-9, 1997 Place: University of Edinburgh, Scotland, Great Britain Submission: January 13, 1997 LINGUISTICS ASSOCIATION OF GREAT BRITAIN Spring Meeting 1997: University of Edinburgh First Circular and Call for Papers The 1997 Spring Meeting will be held from Monday 7 to Wednesday 9 April at the University of Edinburgh, where the Association will be the guests of the Department of Linguistics. The Local Organiser is Alice Turk (turk@ling.ed.ac.uk). The conference immediately follows the 1997 meeting of GALA ("Generative Approaches to Language Acquisition"), which takes place at the University of Edinburgh from the 4th to 6th of April (further information on: http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/gala/). Events: The Linguistcs Association 1997 Lecture on the Monday evening will be delivered by Professor Joan Bresnan (Stanford). There will be a Workshop on The Role of Morphology in Current Syntactic Theory organised by Kersti Boerjars and Nigel Vincent (University of Manchester). In much recent work on syntactic theory, analyses have made the tacit assumption that morphological and syntactic elements obey the same principles (e.g. c-command) and can be expressed in the same notation (i.e. trees). At the same time, a number of influential morphologists (e.g. Anderson, Aronoff and Beard) have argued for the separationist hypothesis according to which morphological constructs obey a set of independent principles which only partly, or not at all, overlap with the set of syntactic principles. In this workshop we will explore within a number of frameworks the consequences of this renewed interest in the interaction and integration of morphological and syntactic data. We will look particularly at Lexical-Functional Grammar, Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar and the Minimalist Program. There will be talks by Joan Bresnan (Stanford), Elisabet Engdahl (Gothenburg), Gillian Ramchand (Oxford) and Greg Stump (Kentucky) and these will be followed by a general discussion. The Language Tutorial will be on languages of Central Australia, and will be given by Jane Simpson (University of Sydney) and, possibly, Mary Laughren (University of Queensland) and David Nash. Central Australian languages such as Warumungu, Warlpiri and Warlmanpa use agglutinative morphology to show grammatical relations, rather than word order which is thereby freed up for other functions. However, there is evidence for underlyingly right-headed phrases. There is striking convergence of grammars, in contrast with morphemes and some superficial phonological properties. The latter act as markers of different languages, while a source for the former may be the multilingualism of many older speakers. There will be a Wine Party on the Monday evening, following Professor Bresnan's lecture, sponsored by the Department of Linguistics. Enquiries about the LAGB meeting should be sent to the Meetings Secretary (address below). Full details of the programme and a booking form will be included in the Second Circular, to be sent in January. Call for Papers: Members and potential guests are invited to offer papers for the Meeting; abstracts are also accepted from non-members. The LAGB welcomes submissions on any linguistics or linguistics- related topic. Abstracts must arrive by 13 January 1997 and should be sent in the format outlined below to the following address: Professor G. Corbett, Linguistic and International Studies, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 5XH. Papers are selected anonymously - only the President knows the names of authors. Abstracts must be presented as follows: submit SEVEN anonymous copies of the abstract, plus ONE with name and affiliation, i.e. CAMERA- READY. The complete abstract containing your title and your name must be no longer than ONE A4 page (8.27" x 11.69") with margins of at least 1" on all sides. You may use single spacing (not more than six lines to the inch) and type must be no smaller than 12 characters per inch. Type uniformly in black (near-letter quality on a word processor) and make any additions in black. It is preferable to print out the abstracts using a laser printer, since if the paper is accepted the abstract will be photocopied and inserted directly into the collection of abstracts sent out to participants. WRITE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE ON THE BACK OF THE ABSTRACT WHICH HAS YOUR NAME ON. The following layout should be considered as standard: (title) Optimality and the Klingon vowel shift (speaker) Clark Kent (institution) Department of Astrology, Eastern Mars University The normal length for papers delivered at LAGB meetings is 25 minutes (plus 15 minutes discussion). Offers of squibs (10 minutes) or longer papers (40 minutes) will also be considered: please explain why your paper requires less or more time than usual. N.B. ABSTRACTS SUBMISSION DATES: These are always announced in the First Circular for the Meeting in question. Any member who fears that they may receive the First Circular too late to be able to submit an abstract before the deadline specified can be assured that an abstract received by the President by JANUARY 1 or JUNE 1 will always be considered for the next meeting. Conference Bursaries: There will be a maximum of 10 bursaries available to unsalaried members of the Association (e.g. PhD students) with preference given to those who are presenting a paper. Applications should be sent to the President, and must be received by 4 June 1996. Please state on your application: (a) date of joining the LAGB; (b) whether or not you are an undergraduate or postgraduate student; (c) if a student, whether you receive a normal grant; (d) if not a student, your employment situation. STUDENTS WHO ARE SUBMITTING AN ABSTRACT and wish to apply for funding should include all the above details WITH THEIR ABSTRACT. Guests: Members may invite any number of guests to meetings of the association, upon payment of a stlg5 guest invitation fee. Annual General Meeting: is to be held on the afternoon of Tuesday 8 April. Items for the agenda should be sent to the Honorary Secretary. Elections of President and Membership Secretary: Nominations are sought for the position of President, which becomes vacant with the retirement of Greville Corbett, and for the position of Membership Secretary, which becomes vacant with the retirement of Kersti Boerjars. All names should be sent to the Honorary Secretary by 13 January 1996; nominations should be proposed and seconded, and proposers should make sure that their nominee is willing to stand for election.

Date: June 10-15, 1997 Place: Moscow, Russia Submission: February 1, 1997 DIALOGUE'97 International Conference on computational linguistics and its applications June 10-15, 1997, Moscow, Russia Dear Colleagues, We are happy to inform you about DIALOGUE'97, an international conference on computational linguistics and its applications, which will take place June 10-15, 1997 in a country side near Moscow, Russia. The conference revived the tradition of the interdisciplinary DIALOGUE seminars which were regular national annual events in the USSR during 70s-80s. The conference title means that it is a meeting place for a dialogue: a) between researchers from different fields that are related to computational linguistics (linguists, computer scientists, cognitive scientists, psychologists); b) between researchers from the former USSR and from the international community in computational linguistics. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * theoretical and cognitive linguistics * syntax, semantics, pragmatics and their interaction * multilingual natural language processing * systems for natural language processing * text, dialogue and speech act in the computational framework The number of participants is expected about 100. Every prospective attendee is required to submit a short research summary including relevant recent publications, regular and e-mail address, fax and phone numbers. Participants who wish to present their work are additionally required to submit a poster (3-4 double-spaced pages, 6-8 kB) or a full paper (not exceeding 12 double- spaced pages, 24 kB). Please send submissions preferably via e-mail (in plain ASCII or uuencoded Winword files) to the address of the Program Committee before February 1, 1997. Submissions in Russian and English are equally accepted. We plan to organize selected English-to-Russian and Russian-to-English translation of talks. Addresses for all correspondence: e-mail: dialog@artint.msk.su Snail mail: DIALOGUE'97 Russian Instititue for Artificial Intelligence P.O.Box 111, Moscow, 103001, Russia. IMPORTANT DATES: Deadline for submission: February 1, 1997 Notification of acceptance: March 1, 1997 Final paper due: March 25, 1997 In the field of computational linguistics in Russia conferences DIALOGUE became a regular event which attracts the leading researchers from the former USSR as well as foreign researchers.

Date: August 10-12, 1997 Place: Berkeley, California, USA Submission: February 15, 1997 CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Conference on Computational Psycholinguistics CPL '97 August 10-12, 1997 Berkeley, California In Conjunction with Cognitive Science 1997 Sponsored by the Cognitive Science Society International Computer Science Institute Institute for Cognitive Science, University of Colorado Psychology Department, University of Chicago Institute for Cognitive Studies, UC Berkeley ******* Invited Speakers ****** Jeff Elman Ted Gibson Mark Seidenberg Paul Smolensky ******************************* This conference is intended to bring together researchers who work on psychologically motivated computational models of human language. We solicit contributions on models of linguistic processing, acquisition, or representation at every level: phonetic, phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic. The goal of the conference is to build bridges between computationally oriented researchers who have focused on different aspects of human language processing. AREAS OF INTEREST: We solicit extended abstracts for oral or poster presentations on psychologically motivated computational models of human language processing, or empirical or theoretical results bearing on such models. Papers/posters may concern any aspect of human language processing, including but not limited to: phonetic, phonological, or morphological processing lexical access acquisition of phonology or morphology acquisition of syntax and semantics syntactic parsing semantic and pragmatic interpretation, text understanding conversation (e.g. turn taking, pauses, discourse cues) generation lexical choice prosody disambiguation Authors are urged to write for computationally literate researchers that may not be in their own subfield. We hope the conference will afford people an opportunity to present work in progress for feedback, and to get ideas and epiphanies from other computational or psychological researchers with different backgrounds. To facilitate the interchange of ideas, the schedule will set aside a significant amount of time for discussion, as well as an outing, probably to Napa for winetasting. SUBMISSION FORMAT AND DATES: The submission should consist of a title/identification page plus an abstract. The title page should contain the title, author(s), affiliation(s), and the submitting author's mailing address, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address, as well as a preference for an ORAL PRESENTATION or a POSTER PRESENTATION. Please note that oral presentations and posters will be considered to be of equal status at this conference; as a result, they will be reviewed equally, and will have equal chances of appearing in subsequent publications. In order to help place oral and poster presentations on an equal footing, both poster and oral presenters will give 2-3 oral summary "previews" of their presentations. However, authors may not get their first choice of presentation method because of scheduling conflicts. The actual abstract should be 2-3 pages long, in sufficient detail to allow substantive evaluation. It should not contain the authors' names or addresses, as reviewing will be blind. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the authors' identity (e.g. "We previously showed (Chiu, 1991)...") should be avoided. Instead use references like "Chiu previously showed (Chiu, 1991) ...". Submissions by e-mail are STRONGLY encouraged. Acceptable formats for electronic submissions include, in order of preference: 1) HTML 2) Postscript (e.g. from LaTeX) 3) ASCII (plain text) A sample HTML skeleton abstract form which may be downloaded and copied, as well as other submission details, are included on our website: http://www.ccp.uchicago.edu/cpl We expect that some or all of the submissions will be published in either a conference or a themed volume. Submissions for publication will be full-length papers, and will themselves be reviewed at a later date. Please keep checking the web page for further information on publishing plans.

The talk outlines a formalization of the syntax of Montagues's intensional logic in a typed feature logic. This leads to the integration of a PTQ-like semantics within an HPSG account for the syntax of German. The approach is shortly compared with the LF approach taken by semanticists working in the tradition of GB theory. A handout (15 pages) can be found at: http://www.sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de/~fr/sinn_u_bedeutung.ps
From Bob:

For the last three years HPSG has been the underlying framework for research and implementation efforts conducted at the Scientific Center of IBM Germany in Heidelberg as part of the Verbmobil project. In Verbmobil, a government-funded speech-to-speech translation project, some 30 institutions, both industrial and academic, have implemented a prototype version of a system for the translation of spontaneous speech in negotiation dialogues between German and Japanese speakers.
As one of the largest contractors in the project, the Verbmobil group in Heidelberg contributed mainly in the areas syntactic and semantic analysis where a large German grammar in the spirit of HPSG was implemented. Following a redirection of IBM's worldwide priorities in research activities, the second phase of Verbmobil will take place without further contributions from the Heidelberg group which, consisting mostly of fixed-term contractors, will consequently be dissolved by the end of 1996 with most of the people leaving Heidelberg and IBM.
To us it seems as if one can observe a general trend away from the usage of large-scale declarative grammars in natural-language understanding projects, although in this case of course the decision had absolutely nothing to do with the specific approach we had adopted. The IBM group had initially joined the Verbmobil project with a proposal very much in the 'parsing as deduction' paradigm and subsequently moved more and more into a direction where chart-parsing techniques together with various statistical methods were combined in the analysis task. In a similar vein, the plans for the second phase of Verbmobil emphasize the growing importance of statistically-based methods for machine translation. The Siemens group in Munich which contributed a second large unification-based grammar and a chart-parser to the syntactic and semantic analysis has also announced a shift of focus towards the investigation of 'flat' syntactic analyses for the second phase of Verbmobil.
So, while it seems that sophisticated language technology approaches a level of maturity that allows for the design of more and more interesting NLP systems, it is as yet unclear, to which extent large scale declarative generative (linguistically sound) grammars will play the central role here that one might have expected some years ago. Taking the future fields of work of the members of the Heidelberg group might serve as an illustration. While a surprisingly large proportion of these researchers will continue to do NLP related work in one way or the other, activities with a clear link to the generative grammar tradition are rare. (People will be doing work in natural-language-driven specification of computer programming, text-mining, evaluation of NLP systems, speech recognition and (oh yes!) semantic analysis and transfer in other Verbmobil locations).
Anyway: "One of the most active HPSG research groups" (as the editors chose to flatter us) says Good-Bye to the HPSG community. We will of course continue to follow the fate of HPSG and the people involved in it and we will definitely continue to run into all of you at conferences and workshops everywhere.
Take care, have fun and freundliche Gruesse,

ABSTRACT
Key words: lexicalist approach, reversible grammar, Chinese parsing, Chinese generation, bidirectional machine translation, HPSG
Unification grammars have been studied both in computational linguistics and theoretical linguistics. Implementations of such grammars for English are being used in a wide variety of application. Attempts also have been made to write Chinese unification grammars, but so far there is no significant breakthrough. One important reason is that we are lacking in serious study on Chinese lexical base and often jump too soon for linguistic generalization.
In our new attempt to build a constraint-based Chinese unification grammar, we take lexicalist approaches. Except for a few universal phrase structure rules, we do not presuppose any linguistic generalization for Chinese. Instead, we started with individ ual words in lexicon and have gradually built a lexical hierarchy and the Chinese grammar prototype. This research is taken in the general spirit of the modern linguistic theory Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG, proposed by Carl Pollard & Ivan S ag).
What we have implemented is a substantial Chinese computational grammar prototype. It covers all basic Chinese syntactic structures. Particular attention is paid to the handling of function words and verb patterns. The grammar formalism which we use to code our grammar is ALE, a unification-based grammar compiler on top of Prolog, developed by Bob Carpenter, Carnegie Mellon University.
One important benefit of a constraint-based unification grammar is that the same grammar (so-called reversible grammar) can be used both for parsing and generation. Grammar reversibility is a highly desired feature for multi-lingual machine translation application and for making the system modular. Following this line, we have successfully applied our grammar to the experiment of bi-directional machine translation between English and Chinese. The machine translation system developed in our Natural Language Lab is based on shake-and-bake design (proposed by P. Whitelock and Mike Reape). We used the same three grammar modules (Chinese grammar, English grammar and the bilingual transfer grammar) and the same corpus (200 sentences of various types) for the experiment. The experimental results are encouraging.
