Editorial

Dear All,

We hope you all get cheerfully through the beginning of the academic term.

We hope you will find this autumn issue useful and would like to encourage you to submit any HPSG-related information (report on HPSG-related talks, work in progress, theses, new HPSG projects and softwares, moves within the HPSG community, etc.).
Send your contributions for the next issue of the gazette (to appear in January) to:

gazette@hpsg.fu-berlin.de

Remember that any urgent information should be posted on the the HPSG mailing list rather than sent to the Gazette.

Best regards,
Elodie Winckel & Antonio Machicao y Priemer
