2. ParGram meeting 2022

From Mark-Matthias Zymla:
"Thanks to the feedback from everyone, we were able to finalize the plans for this year's ParGram meeting.
It will take place on the 11th of July, 2022, from 9.30 am to 12.00 am at the venue of the LFG2022 conference. We will also provide a possibility for online participation next week.
The official schedule is posted here: https://cloud.uni-konstanz.de/index.php/s/AXZqZHxedsgAMZe
We will add information about the online access and the exact room there as well as the information becomes available."

LrFG Website: lrfg.online
This is the homepage of Lexical-Realizational Functional Grammar (LRFG), a project started by Ash Asudeh and Dan Siddiqi. Here you can download papers and presentations about the theory, as well as find out about the group of collaborators and students who are or have been involved with the project.
LRFG is the result of an unlikely marriage between Distributed Morphology (DM) and Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG). It shares traits of both its parent frameworks. Like LFG, it is a declarative, representational and constraint-based theory that is well-suited to modelling nonconfigurationality. Like DM, it provides a realizational, morphemic view of word-formation and is good at modelling complex morphological structures including those found in polysynthetic languages and other languages that display significant morphological complexity.


4. Drafts for comments

'Drafts for comments' offers bulletin readers the opportunity to submit information about drafts or projects on which they would like to receive comments from the community. This brings work in progress to the attention of the community and plays some of the role that previous incarnations of the archive played.

Please submit basic article/project information and (a) a URL if the item is available online or else (b) your contact email.
