    • Publications pre-2000

    An archive of relatively early LFG papers from before the year 2000. Papers are provided in the original formats supplied by the authors, and in compressed formats generated by us, currently .gz (gunzip) for Unix, and .zip (pkunzip) for Dos/Wintel.

    The archive is closed to submissions. If you have something from pre-2000 that you think might be of interest and therefore worth including, contact Jessica Zipf or any member of the ILFGA executive.

    More recent papers and references can be found via the usual web-based channels, and in particular the LFG conference proceedings and in recent handbooks such as Dalrymple et al. 2019, Börjars et al. 2019 and Dalrymple forthcoming.
