IX Workshop on Formal Linguistics

We are pleased to announce the IX Workshop on Formal Linguistics, to be held on August 30 - 31, 2012 at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The conference is open to work done from any theoretical perspective in formal linguistics. The official language of the conference is English.
