25th International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG 2018)

One aim of this workshop is to promote cross-framework discussion, and therefore we strongly encourage researchers from outside the HPSG framework to submit abstracts for this workshop.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to, whether predicates and suffixal morphemes following them, which together form prosodic constituents unambiguously, ever form morphosyntactic constituents as well, whether predicates are ever raised from their "base" positions, and whether each type of scrambling can be regarded as an instance of Move (or, in the HPSG parlance, SLASH-mediated long-distance dependency). There might appear to be something of a consensus regarding some of these issues within a given research community, but there is no discipline-wide consensus on these and related issues.
