        CSLI Studies in Constraint-Based Lexicalism, volume II


Dear FHCG 98/ FG 97/ HPSG 97 speaker, 

Following our announcement at the FHCG conference in Saarbruecken, August, 
1998, we write to inform you about our plans to collect a number of 
papers in a volume to appear with CSLI. A similar collection of papers, 
"Lexical and Constructional Aspects of Linguistic Explanation", edited by 
Gert Webelhuth, Jean-Pierre Koenig, and Andreas Kathol, has just appeared as 
volume I in the new CSLI series "Studies in Constraint-Based Lexicalism".

PROCEDURE

We are aiming at a collection of (approximately 20) high-quality papers on 
topics which are typically adressed at the Formal Grammar and HPSG 
conferences. We are aiming at publication by June, 1999. The CSLI series does 
not intend to publish conference proceedings or collections of working papers. 

This implies that:

(a) there will be a separate round of reviewing and selection, 
(c) there will be a rather strict time-schedule,
(b) submission of papers is not restricted to those who presented a paper at the 
    FHCG 98 conference.

INVITATION

We are writing to all those who have given presentations at the FHCG98
conference (Saarbruecken) , the Formal Grammar 97 conference (Aix), or the 
HPSG 97 conference (Ithaca). 

If you want to submit a paper for the CSLI volume, based on the presentation 
you gave at one of these conferences, please let us know before October, 1. 

The paper you submit must represent original work, which has not been 
published elsewhere, except in the form of a paper included in the FHCG 98 
or Formal Grammar 97 proceedings. (N.b. A substantial number of papers 
presented at the HPSG 97 conference was included in the volume edited by
Webelhuth, Koenig, and Kathol. The invitiation to submit to HPSG 97 speakers
is intended only for those whose work was not already published in 
the Webelhuth et  al. volume.)


PAGE LIMITS

1. reviewed presentations: 15 pages
2. invited presentations:  25 pages.

DEADLINES

October, 1   : Notify us whether you are planning to submit a paper,
               with a (preliminary) title

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

In order to make the production of camera-ready text as smooth
as possible, we ask you to submit papers in LaTeX only,
using CSLI style packages.  Details, including how these
style packages can be obtained, will be distributed to
those indicating their intention to submit by October 1.



Thanks for your cooperation,

Gosse Bouma, Geert-Jan Kruijff, Erhard Hinrichs, and Richard Oehrle.
