Overview

The Seventh International Workshop on Tree Adjoining Grammars and Related Frameworks (hence the + after TAG) will be held at the Harbour Center Campus of Simon Fraser University in Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, from May 20 to May 22, 2004. The workshop is sponsored by Simon Fraser University and a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Chung-hye Han and Anoop Sarkar are the local organizers for the workshop.

TAG+7 will feature contributed talks and posters, and the following invited speakers:

Barbara H. Partee, University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
F. J. (Jeff) Pelletier, Simon Fraser University.
Giorgio Satta, University of Padova.

We invite contributions describing research on all aspects of TAG (linguistic, mathematical, computational, and applications), as well as papers relating TAGs to other frameworks. See the Call For Papers for additional information about submitting an anonymous two-page abstract for presentation at TAG+7.

As a special feature, Chung-hye Han and Anoop Sarkar have put together a tutorial program on the TAG formalism which will take place Thursday morning, May 20, immediately preceding TAG+7. The four-hour session is planned as follows:

TAG: introduction and formalism.
Aravind K. Joshi, University of Pennsylvania.
TAG and linguistics.
Anthony Kroch, University of Pennsylvania.
Parsing with TAG.
Giorgio Satta, University of Padova.
Generation with TAG.
Owen Rambow, Columbia University, and Matthew Stone, Rutgers University.
TAG and minimalism.
Robert Frank, Johns Hopkins University.
