The workshop “Formal Approaches to Under-resourced Languages” is part of the HPSG 2024 Conference (https://bond-lab.github.io/2024-hpsg/). The aim of the workshop is to promote interdisciplinary and cross-language discussion on approaches to formal linguistic analyses of under-resourced languages. We strongly encourage researchers from outside the HPSG framework (such as LFG, GF, and minimalism) to submit. We take an open perspective to the definition of a “under -resourced language,” acknowledging that this designation is both imperfect and often the result of many contributing factors. Possible topics include, but are not limited to syntactic/semantic analysis, development of language resources with annotations beyond the word level (treebanks, propbanks, discourse annotations, etc.), and especially involvement of the communities speaking those languages in the process of linguistic analysis.
