5. Working Papers and Conference Proceedings

General conferences and working papers series always include papers in both syntax and phonology, almost always some in semantics, and often contain papers in mathematical linguistics, computational linguistics, pragmatics, and language acquisition. Those listed below are useful, therefore, outside syntax proper. Only specialized conferences are listed in subsequent sections of this bibliography. Besides working papers, many institutions distribute bound copies of their doctoral dissertations at low prices. Some of these, and some of the works listed below, are available in the Centre for Linguistics and Philology.
