Editorial

Dear All,

The Spring issue of the Gazette is now online and we hope you'll enjoy it.

Don't forget 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.) for the next issue of the gazette (to appear in July) to:

gazette@hpsg.fu-berlin.de

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
